Advised to delete all his past social media, didn’t listen and admitted to being naive…

Advised it wasn’t safe to come back to parliament yet, didn’t listen and now has resigned…

But it’s everyone else’s fault!
Unfortunately there’s a lot of people out there like that, weak individuals with no concept of personal responsibility suffering from victim mentality.
 
Sounds like Nicola Willis at the moment
She’s going through a rough trot. I really don’t rate her at all however I do have some sympathy. The GDP numbers are rubbish - as in I highly doubt they are correct, the export data looked inconsistent with what the industry have reported. I guarantee there’ll be a big positive revision of those June quarter numbers.

That’s tough to guarantee with her citing worldwide pressures as the cause. Who’s to say the world will be rosier by then and the same pressures apply, potentially more pressure? Key has come out with the reserve bank as the cause, Willis blaming world issues and tariffs, they need to get on the same playbook of they’re going to blame

Dairy numbers were wrong - volume &’pricing is up. But there’s no doubt things are at best only modestly off the bottom of the economic cycle, it’s still really tough out there & it’s probably more just how you split the March quarter better than expected growth vs the June numbers - they’re both fiction. I agree with Key, the RB was the single biggest problem for what we’re going through, they overheated the economy far too much & then cooled it way below where it needed to go. Total muppets. However industries are slowly starting to see improvement out there. September will look a bit better & the RB are now hellbent on cutting rates - they’ll go too far once again.

They desperately need the economy to show some life soon
 
Some facts:

NZ GDP fell 0.9% in the June Quarter (1.1% per capita)

Willis blames "international pressures".

Australia's GDP rose 0.6% in the same period.

The USA's GDP rose 0.8% in the same period.

The UK's GDP rose 0.3% in the same period.

The OECD average for the same period was 0.4% growth.
