Budget Day. Let's see what Robertson is made of. Personally I just hope he reallocates the Shane Jones Bribery Pot. There are better things he could be doing with that money right now.
"Bribery pot" got reallocated at the start of it.

@Godder Thanks, I didn’t pick that up. I never did understand why anyone would trust a man who hired a jet and paid for porn on the public dime with a discretionary fund.
Was part of the terms of Winnie's mob installing team Cindy into power. They gave them everything they asked for

Speaking of NZ First and Jones, here he is in another ministerial capacity.

I have just confirmed how I will vote. Years of debt to come for somebody else to fix. Hey, lets just print money. I have been through this before with labour.
I was actually on the cusp, but labour will team with Winnie. So fuck them. You can't vote for two teams even though I dislike Bridges.
I have had a few drinks and lost a friend who's funeral I can't go to so, sorry but it is all fucked.

Condolences man, that sucks.
National are either going with Winnie or into opposition. Also not sure how any government could do anything other than go into massive debt in this - even if we had closed our borders in January, the economy was going to hell in a handbasket from the total lack of international tourism and massive downturn in the global economy.

National have ruled out working with Winnie. It'd be fucking excellent if Labour did the same.

Wouldn't surprise me if the voters did that for everyone.

There's debt, then there is this level of debt. The discretionary parts that have been pushed forward under cover of an emergency are shameless. Labour have taken the opportunity to dust off their entire wish-list and slammed it through, whilst telling the electorate it is essential to deal with the fallout from a 7 week shutdown that they chose to initiate. The media hasn't challenged them on it at all really, but I don't know any economist from either end of the spectrum who isn't amazed by this. There's no planning, just crossed fingers and a belief that it's doctrinarily correct so therefore justified. Of course there's seldom a shortage of people who will take a handout, so it will no doubt play well with their base, especially those who don't give a thought to where the money has to come from.

I dont think I would want national in power right now or ever again. I think they are far to comfortable with china whom is looking very aggressive atm imposing sanctions on australia for merely supporting an investigation on Chinas handling of the virus. I think things could turn very sour.
Labour whilst having reasonable intentions is just inept at anything except taking peoples freedoms. The shutdown can be argued for or against. My opinion far too strict but understand the strict approach. But after failed policy after failed policy I have no faith in there ability to handle a 124 billion govt fix up job.
Jacinda Arden is good in front of the camera to people with fleeting interest in politics and achieves world wise praise as a "successful female anti-trump". But with bills being passes through under covid 19 and now another half truth with the voluntary pay cuts after accepting the praises for it I am not happy with her.
David Seymour has constantly been a strong voice in opposition but I'm not sure of act policy wise. Perhaps less govt is the best option of all others are becoming increasingly poor.
I like the intentions of TOP. UBI - land tax -lowernincome tax solves alot of issues with current nz economy. But the social policies they had last election are very far from where I stand.
Nz first needs to die.
Greens are a shit show of terrible ideologies.

@JC as a Labour Party member, it's nowhere near the entire wish list.
I know this is probably a joke. But if this is representative of the attitude of Labour members the country is fucked.
JC posted a pretty somber take on the mismanagement going on and you joke about it not being the entire Wishlist?
