Not impressed with leaders
Indeed loan sharks are contemptible and all kudos that something is being done about such parasites.
But let’s state the obvious here: the cost of living has increased rapidly since the Labour/Winston First and Watermelon coalition of losers unjustifiably took control. The most vulnerable are even more dependent on fast money as ‘‘the Government of the working people’’ spreads its toxins.
There is a criminally huge increase in fuel tax. It hasn’t fully hit home yet but it will reflect on the cost of all goods as higher freight costs bite. All imported goods are becoming more expensive as our Kiwi dollar has lost value after years of stability. Goods that I sell are now approximately 20 per cent higher in price than they were 18 months ago under a competent Government.
Such price rises will be typical across many or most imported goods, on which we rely so heavily. Of course everyone’s take home salaries are going up by 20 per cent. But there is less hit on the hypocritical highly paid ‘‘socialists’’ contaminating the Beehive
Keen to splash cash around into areas where it’s a bottomless pit, this naive ‘‘Government’’ for the vanity of its incompetent leader is hellbent on shutting down industries that generate huge revenue, notably Taranaki oil and gas.
Ardern is as much an embarrassment on the world stage as another bumptious and arrogant former Labour primemoneywaster. She buys into climate alarmism when there’s solid evidence that climate change is cyclical and that man doesn’t have as much influence as emotively stated. But why get in the way of political capital, preaching to the young and naive that buy into this one-sided claptrap that the left have embraced?
And now there’s a (familiar) pending ‘‘full and final settlement’’ for an historically ‘‘aggrieved’’ group that has already had ‘‘full and final settlements’’ in 1946 and then 1995. Clearly, hardworking taxpayers in NZ are being duped by those unproductive by choice and those who think history owes them a living in perpetuity.
Notwithstanding also that our inept leader is amongst the highest paid leaders in the western world, despite misleading her potential employers by not disclosing her pregnancy.
Had she been a decent person she would have disclosed same to the electorate in advance.
