Luxon's 'wet, whiny and inward-looking' supporters

While the Greens and Te Pāti Māori have been running positive campaigns focusing on redistributive tax policies, National's would-be partners have either been catastrophising or reselling last season's snake oil, writes Rob Campbell

With all due respect we have had 6 years of left ‘vision’ and it’s been a cock up. The right have to face economic reality to get the country back on track.

No more dreamers please.

Watching the left want to double down and stuff us up even more is like witnessing the victim of toxic relationships justifying it will be all right if he just changes a little bit… you guys are blind…

I'm old mate, I still think at times that you buy milk by the pint

I put my glass bottle out but haven't received any milk for years, am I doing something wrong?

Nah mate. It's just Rick O'Shay pinching your milk money

Greens and TPM only see improving living standards by taxing those they see as rich with a very low threshold.
They fail to see or accept the obvious and that is education is the key, not only academic education but life skills including contraception.
Personal responsibility or motivating people to achieve is lost in the desire to simply take money from the perceived rich and pass on, no strings attached. This will solve nothing . Those at the bottom can simply carry on living off the backs of others, no need to improve themselves for their kids sake, someone else will pick up the tab for you.
The money will simply run out eventually. The problems will be way bigger and our motivated educated young people will be long gone. Many have already left. TPM and the Greens would be better off inspiring their supporters rather than casting them as victims constantly requiring the charity of others.

'Not going to happen': Luxon rules out deal to get TOP into Parliament

"It's not something we're even interested in entertaining."

www.newshub.co.nz

Thought this might have been an option to keep him out, seems not though.

It’s a bit late in the piece for TOP to extend this option. Clearly the electorate isn’t resonating with their policies, so I’d imagine it wouldn’t be a great solution to invite them into the tent

He's fine and does interesting work.

Being persona non grata to the major parties is actually a good thing.

For sure. Was always a bit sus turning up at the dairy trying to cash in tokens or sell the soft drink bottles you'd pinched from behind the shop the night before. Crime was simple back then.

Yeah mate. I remember the chewing gum and the phone box trick.

Mayor Wayne Brown says campaign promises from National will leave Auckland worse off | Newshub

Brown let the Nats know he wants to take back control.

www.newshub.co.nz

Good times, Everything is going to be great under National.

The NZF and Act cooker MPs are really going to help sort this all out too.

It's funny Brown whining that he wouldn't have the money for the eastern busway if National scrap the Auckland fuel tax yet National's policy is for the government to fund it if they win the election. Perhaps before criticising any parties election policies, Brown would be better served to read what the policies actually was.

Isn't that the Liz Gunn party?
You would be the "Lizard of Tauranga "

Luxon disputes Goldman Sachs and beneficiaries criticisms

Christopher Luxon says he disagrees with Goldman Sachs' finding his policies would increase inflation, and he rejects the suggestion beneficiaries will be left worse off under National.

Goldman Sachs also warned the Liz Truss UK government about the tax cuts during her brief reign too... yikes

So a wealth tax handed back to low income and beneficiaries is not inflationary?

Is that what's actually being campaigned on? Or are you just high on weed?

Dean, you don’t understand. A family buying exercise books from Warehouse Stationery is inflationary…. a school purchasing the same exercise books directly from the supplier and selling them cheaper to another family isn’t.
