Um. . . Have you had a look outside the window lately? A lot of the world is in worse economic conditions due to covid responses.
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
Forum whore
That all of us here on KB are still alive to post is testament to the governments covid response. But if you dont like it you are always free to go to Australia or Fiji or Britain or USA or any of those other countries where governments are just SO much better
it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

The scientists at Johns Hopkins didn't exactly cover themselves with glory with this doubtless exceedingly expensive study. In 2019 they ranked countries according to their ability to deal with an epidemic or pandemic. They ranked USA first and Britain second. New Zealand is ranked 35th.
Not beng a scientist I knew nothing of any of this at the time. When it became apparent there was a possible pandemic, unlike the scientists, I thought the USA was badly positioned to deal with it. Low wage workers have no sick leave, they just can't afford to take time off. They will drag themselves in to work if they can. This includes virtually all food service workers. Many people have no insurance so they can't afford to see a doctor, early diagnosis is not possibile. And that was before it was confirmed that the US had a mental case as president.

Some anyway.
I've just been reading a US gun related website that I've been a member of for years. The majority there still won't wear a mask, get vaccinated, or act in any way to protect themselves or their family. They are convinced the COVID threat is exaggerated, it's just like the flu, all the precautions are just an evil government plan to exert social control. The 600,000 plus US dead don't seem to enter the equation. Most think Trump won the election, and that his Jan 6th coup attempt was peaceful.
Murdoch has a lot to answer for.

https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/full-t...YEDMYAIO47I4Q/In terms of housing, the Government is itself planning to build more than 2000 houses over the next two financial years but, more importantly, wants to work with local councils on the underlying problems of land supply, building and resource consents and provision of infrastructure.
National, in the 2014 financial year it sold 598 homes and built 398, in the 2015 financial year it sold 492 and built 724.
So when the last lot lied to you how come that wasn't an issue?

I told Iain Rennie I would contact Fletcher
I haven’t seen Ian Fletcher in a long time.
I did not mislead the House (13)
I have no reason to doubt at this stage that Peter Dunne did not leak the GCSB report
I called directory service to get Ian Fletcher’s number
the new legislation narrows the scope of the GCSB
the GCSB has been prevented from carrying out its functions because of the law governing its functions
because the opposition is opposed the GCSB law amendments, parliamentary urgency is required
the increasing number of cyber intrusions which I can’t detail or discuss prove that the GCSB laws need to be extended to protect private enterprise

National Ltd™ is not explanding the activities of the GCSB with this new law
cyber terrorists have attempted to gain access to information about weapons of mass destruction held on New Zealand computers

it totally incorrect that the Government effectively through GCSB will be able to wholesale spy on New Zealanders
we self identified that there was a problem with the GCSB spying on Kim Dotcom
the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom was an isolated incident
The advice I have had in 4 years as a Minister is that in no way ever has there been an indication of unlawful spying

I wasn’t briefed about the raid on Kim Dotcom’s home.
first I heard I heard about Kim Dotcom was on 19 January 2012
first I heard about the illegal spying on Kim Dotcom was in 17 September 2012
I did not mislead the House (14)
I won’t be discussing Kim Dotcom during my Hollywood visit.
The Human Rights Commission couldn’t get its submission on the GCSB legislation in on time.
it would cost too much to for the police and SIS to carry out the spying on New Zealanders that this new legislation will permit

no, I did not mislead the House (??)
we do not spy on journalists
the passing of phone records to the Henry Inquiry was an error on the part of a contractor
I wasn’t aware that my own Chief of Staff was instructing Parliamentary Services to hand over information concerning journalist Andrea Vance
National Ltd™ has never tried to impinge on the role of the media
I had nothing to do with information on a journalist being handed over to the inquiry into the leaking of the GCSB report
the terms of the inquiry made it clear to everyone that it was only the phone records of parliamentary staff and ministers that were to be provided
I have the utmost respect for the media and the role it plays in New Zealand’s democracy

the GCSB needs to spy on New Zealanders because of the terrorist threat, even though official reports released over my signature say there is no risk and the SIS has the matter in hand

no, I did not mislead the House (18)
Edward Snowden hacked into the NSA data base to obtain the documents which show details of the GCSB setting up a mass surveillance system

There’s no ambiguity. No middle ground. I’m right and Glenn Greenwald is wrong,
I’ll resign if the GCSB conducts mass surveillance

Nicky Hager has got nothing to prove any of the allegations.
All this stuff in “Dirty Politics” is coming from the left.
National Ltd™ is not using blogs as attack sites any more than anyone would do
The release of “Dirty Politics” is part of a coordinated attack from the left because it is unable to win the discussion on the issues that matter.
Very little of the book “Diry Politics” is about me.

Labour did not seek a Parliamentary vote when sending SAS troops into Afghanistan on a combat mission and didn’t even tell New Zealand they were going
When I said “the price of The Club” I meant “The Club” was all the 62 nations in the US-led coalition of troops to fight in Iraq
New Zealanders gave National Ltd™ a two year mandate to send troops into Iraq as part of the US-led coalition

As long as Simon Bridges didn’t get any policy advice from his officials about developing the “10 bridges for your vote!” bribe, then there’s no possible problem under the Cabinet Manual.
Labour did the same thing as Bridges when it used “officials actually in my opinion actually” to get policy advice as they did in the 2008 campaign with deposit guarantees, but they actually maybe they shouldn’t have done it”
I assumed that all ten bridges up for double-laning in Northland were justified on a cost benefit analysis
Claims the GCSB was planning to hack into a data link run by the Chinese embassy are unproven.
When it comes to the GCSB you’ve got a bunch of people who’ve been out there propagating information that’s actually been proven to be incorrect.

Labour was looking to make the same sort of deal with the Saudis and knew all about the possibility of legal action.

Treasury was consulted about the details of the Saudi sheep farm deal
the Saudi sheep farm deal was for the purchase of services, intellectual property, and a network of contacts
When asked by Radio New Zealand about what exact services, intellectual property, and contacts New Zealand gained from the deal I answered the questions absolutely but Susie Fergusson didn’t want to hear that the whole issue was Labour’s fault
The problem which led up to the Saudi sheep farm deal was caused by Labour.
The Saudi sheep farm deal was never about compensation even though I said earlier it was because Labour left the government liable for a claim for compensation
Labour misled the Saudi investors about the live sheep trade

I discovered during a conversation with an old council tenant mate of mine tonight why councils all over the country are increasing rent.
Apparently the national government were subsidizing council housing in an effort to keep rents manageable for their tenant's.
Labour has very quietly chucked that out & made the councils look like the villans for having to increase rents as a result.
It gets worse, govt have now funded a Maori housing govt department into buying the housing off council so it shall forever henceforth become Maori housing.
Clearly subsidizing council tenant's wasn't helping labour's socialist brand, yet toothy was crowing about what she was doing for social housing only last week after lining up to compete with first home buyers to purchase lower braket housing to house the people they have shat on.
Waits for fanboi to justify, even though I never check back.

Seriously, you're just a fuckin yawn fanboi.
Your bunch of retards are really good at hiding their lies & fuckups by refusing interviews & hiring dozens of press people to clean them up.
There's none so gullible as those that want be to gullible.

What's telling with all your posts bob, is if you could refute what was said, you would not need to engage in personal attacks.
I get it you don't like Labour being in power, but if you are going to criticise them for stuff, it should be able to stand up to basic levels of scrutiny or else it's just hypocritical comments with no obvious merit.

Sounds like a load of shit to me, I would say what was published is closer to the truth
"Marlborough District Council last week suggested it might need to increase its senior housing rent by about 35 per cent, to stay in line with its own policy of charging 80 per cent of the current market rate."
