WHY IS THE NATIONAL PARTY doing so much for landlords, property developers, trucking, and construction companies, and so little for everybody who isn’t already pretty well-off?
And Labour created another 100k of beneficiaries with their socialist policies, increased children living in material hardship by 4% and failed at everything else they promised to do including building the Dunedin hospital by 2021, having light rail from the airport,
Did you not see the 2023 election where they said this was what they were going to do and were elected by a majority? Isn't it refreshing having a governing party stick to what they said they would do rather than the utter failures that were in power for the previous six years. Where were all of the commentors over that six years of financial and social vandalism?
You seem to forget that Labour employed more than 10,000 more bureaucrats during their reign of terror and outcomes got worse, that tells me that there are a lot of underutilised people within the public service and in all likelihood they have lost focus on what they are there to achieve. There has been significant numbers of communications people employed....tell me how they stop mad cow desease, stop a crime or help someone with a broken leg again. If they clean out the deadwood they don't need to touch frontline services. They need to start at the top, all those who went empire building over Labours reign should be the first to go. Clearly they don't value tax dollars so should not be trusted with them.
Why does it matter if Luxon had a mortgage? MPs and PMs get accomodation provided or an allowance when their family home or electorate are not in Wellington. Dozens of MPs take advantage of the scheme. A mortgage is irrelevant. Business expenses are usually deductible; renting out a house is a business and often a disastrous one financially when your tenant is irresponsible as I have learned to my cost (I was overseas on a government job, came home to a trashed house). There are lots of things which need fixing - this isn’t one of them.
