Pulling back on government spending has helped bring inflation down quicker IMO (out of recession not so much). It's interesting, I read an article the other day that Andrew Little said they overcooked the economic stimulus which pushed inflation up. A lot of other countries got it wrong also.

Yeah no question the previous mob got it horribly wrong, & agree government spending has been pulled back - however hasn’t that just meant that Wellington specifically has been in free fall? Don’t get me wrong, the current lot are a big improvement on Labour, but it’s mostly just an economic cycle playing out.

Factional War!

What's that about, the realist v idealist split?

Wonder if it was deliberate that something similar happened here around the same time with politicians and affluent people passing kids around in state care

Just what’s known in these articles, and a government apology last year for not believing victims of abuse. Prime minister asked for any witnesses to come forward of a politician pedophile ring, not sure if any have? ACC had to put $3.6 billion aside as compensation

Mind blowing, this creep somehow convinced people that the answer to fascism is paedophilia. And the Berlin authorities approved his "experiments". Wtf is wrong with Germans.
What's the connection between this and the current NZ Green party, dare I ask?

People may not think much of Phil Goff either, but I respect him for having the balls to question trumps bullshit, losing his role in the process

Ideology. Like all Aus and NZ traditional political parties, they have roots in foreign politics, so there’s always factional groups.
NZ have a close relationship with the German greens seeing as the Germans invented the “Green” party - Die Grünen.

Which is also why as Wishart pointed out in his piece, you won’t hear Swarbrick condemning paedophilia. Instead she’s insinuating that they are a protected class within the LGBT community.

Thanks for posting - went to read the article earlier today & then remembered that in a weak protest to the atrocious quality of journalism in this country we recently cancelled our Herald subscription. Very insightful opinion piece however.

Just use x, she’s a very prominent figure for nz politics and writes very well. Oh it’s free, too.
