Just confirming what I posted earlier about competence. This Willow Jean saga with the NCEA changes is beyond the pale. Right or Left seems very bad manners to me.
Is there an itemised breakdown of that spend available? All I've heard is something about art therapy, which sounds suspiciously like something a spin doctor or propagandist would mention.

Pissed away buying votes funneling through grants that are impossible to track unless you know where to look.
Eg the Labour govt invested (gave) $52m into a Māori owned and developed spa resort in Rotorua?
Meanwhile my tourism business has has $0 funding and mine will probably still be running long after this has closed down.
(Note the whole project stopped until the Labour govt gave it an extra $38m mid project because it’s not economic)
If this funding was given to prop up any other business MT8 would be crying corruption. We don’t even own the spa resort, we built it for a private entity. it’s a private luxury business for the elite. Us common people will never go there.
Rinse and repeat across the country and billions disappeared, never to be seen again.
Govt funding of $52m for 'gold-star luxury' spa has 'really paid off', says PM
'We made those targeted investments where they were needed to keep our economy going.'

Any facts here? The original article was right wing propaganda.
Please provide some citations thanks.

Fear the greens:
‘Swarbrick believes any future government her party is a part of would be the most progressive or left-leaning New Zealand has seen under MMP.’
Labour lurched hard left last term…. We don’t want an even loopier govt stuffing the country up even more!

Well Labour left us with the worst recession in 30 years so I don’t know if we will recover from an even further left govt…
Show us the pro business/ economic growth left policies or it’s all dreaming while the country goes down the toilet.
She & her poorly thought out tax policies are irrelevant. Similar to TPM, their stupidity undermines what they fight for. Of the losers, by the losers, for the losers.Fear the greens:

Well. No. The reserve bank MANUFACTURED THE RECESSION AND SAID THEY WERE GOING TO DO SO based on fundamentalist neoliberal policies that have been embedded in the foundations of everything they do right from their brainwashed inception.
A recession unnecessarily extended by National's slash and burn approach, cutting capital and infrastructure spending dead and extending the recession by at least a year, costing hundreds of companies who have now gone broke and causing the worst brain drain nz has ever seen.

So to be clear you would have done the ferries, etc and racked up billions and billions MORE debt when treasury was saying to cut spending?
You know better than treasury???
It's interesting and desperately sad that the right and far right see journalistic integrity and holding truth to power as ideological. That says it all about the observer.

A definition of stupidity is doing the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.
A few of us on here fulfil that definition too.
A few of us??? I’d argue all of us but whatever.
You're right, it doesn't add up. Just seemed to be a lolly scramble at the end

The way the country and the world are heading, this may be the best option.
No one seems to have any answers anymore least of all anyone in Politics.
As my Granny always said, This all started when they put Man on the Moon
Look it up on the treasury’s website. The spending has been up there for the last couple of years
