Wow! Green MP’s recently have been sacked for lesser level bullying!looks like Big Willie might become accountable shortly
Has MP misused his muscle at MUMA? MSM shuns meddling claims by Matt McCarten in complaint against Willie Jackson
Bob Edlin writes – Bullying accusations against Labour’s Willie Jackson are highlighted in two of the dozens of news headlines listed on the Democracy’s Project’s News Briefing: 4 December 2…pointofordernz.wordpress.com
Willie is powerful within Labour. And I think it’s gone to his head.
When everything in society is a result of their decisions, I’d rather see a more performance based situation of some kind. I’ve advocated plenty that the whole system is flawed and have always had the viewpoint we have opposition politics because it’s a diversion away from the outcomes. We go between each party thinking there will be a change but largely get served up something similar. I’ve also always viewed it as a calling type occupation like a teacher or health care professional. When everyone else has to prove their worth in their job, I don’t see them as any different. They work for us at the end of the day and we pay their salaries

I feel National just assumed the economy would be better by now, based on reserve bank predictions and they would coast to the next election. They got lazy and it’s bitten them.
Similar to Labour, they have pushed heavy policy changes, hoping once the economy was good everyone would move on positively into the next election. That’s backfired and the changes have become a lightning rod to a grumpy electorate.
Despite all that, National are 1000% better than the alternative. Making slow but steady changes for the better that will pay off for years to come (rather than crippling us for years as Labour did).

I believe a fault is that our democracy is exposed during economic shock. Govt need to spend several years with very little policy changes so people and business have some consistency to navigate through tough times.
However politics and 3 year cycles mean politicians force changes on us while they have the power and opportunity.
labour and National have both done it. The example of school principals resigning from the stress and constant change doesn’t need to happen.
5 years of shit with Covid and the worst recession in 30 years has taken its toll.

What’s happened is democracy has become to capitalist heavy in my view

Maybe. Think it’s more there is little resilience in people and the economy for constant changes. labour and now National have both tried to be transformational… in a severe economic recession on top of a once in a century pandemic (with all the stress and emotional damage).
Another example: The stats on the number of people that can’t afford a car WOF is simply staggering. There is real poverty out there. Now they have bought in cars that drive down streets, read number plates and give tickets electronically if you don’t have a WoF
Right policy, badly wrong timing. Just going to nail people that are already down and out.
Interesting that McCarten wrote to the speaker with regard to putting him in front of the Privileges Committee to explain his behaviour
Desperate right winger who regularly posts rubbish: "LOOK!!! OVER THERE - A DEAD CAT!!!!"

How do you get that?Poor economic management
Government finances worse than expected as tax take falls
Treasury says the overall financial outlook is mixed, continuing trends from recent months.
"Corporate tax and other individuals' tax revenue were both below forecast (by $0.3 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively) driven by weaker than expected provisional tax, partly offset by stronger-than-forecast terminal tax," Treasury said.
‘Net debt was lower than expected at $186.5b’
As the article says, a mixed bag.

Driving Lower cow numbers her hectare, converting prime land to tree, cow taxes, farmers protesting in the cities recently…
Are we shocked this has resulted in higher prices and made it unaffordable for the middle class?
Biggest con. And the people that want NZ to adhere to it don’t actually want to pay for it themselves, but want others to pay
