National misled you over FamilyBoost and you suckers fell for it – how does it feel?

1. Willis is the most incompetent finance minister in history. She’s god damned awful.

   • National sure know how to produce them.

     • ” National sure know how to produce them ”

       And the Hobbits keep voting for them.

   • Don’t elevate her and make her feel important. Everyone in National despises other people who are not of their kin,(ie actually kind; they are short of some letters in their dealings). When Nic is roundly criticised, lacking accolades from lesser mortals, she just draws through a straw on her preferred …ade, bitter lemon.

2. Nicola having another of those ‘ watchu talkin’ bout Willis’ moments.

3. They mislead and lie on a bunch of issues. All these dim wits that defend these muppets out of pure tribal pig headedness, need to be honest with themselves. The people pointing out that the numbers for Luxon and Willis simply didn’t add up weren’t from the “left.” They just use actual analysis and “evidence based” arguments to point out the con being perpetrated, presumably for their sponsors. There’s no basis for saying these guys are heading in the right direction economically. They are absolutely full of it.

4. For some reason chumps swallowed the line hook and sinker at the election .This happened because of the racist bent Kiwis have so the right cashed in big time on that with the lies that Maori were stealing the water and getting special treatment .
   I would like someone to list those special treatment and things that pakeha are not getting that Maori are .To date no one has provided such a list .

5. The Taxpayers Union started a road show in Mangawhia yesterday hi lighting how Willis is borrowing a billion a week and spending more than Grant Robertson was when he was the minister .They have debt clock that shows every man woman and child owes 100k each .So as soon as a new arrival gets off the plane to live here they owe $100k in debt .
   But now doubt the right will spin some shit that its not their fault .The fact that the taxpayer union thinks she is shit says a hell of a lot because they worship her type of neoliberal plonkers .

6. Even though its not ,I think its fucken funny you dumb fucks are getting what you voted for ,INCOMPETENCE .

7. Winston is a snappy dresser isn’t he? All the others in that photo should seek some sartorial advice.
   Luxon never fails to look awful. He must choose his own clothes and just takes anything that fits…sort of.
   You’d think he could afford a tailor, surely he’s ‘entitled’ to one.
   He seems to have a real thing about the wrong clothes, posing in pyjamas, wearing no trousers with his jacket. Who in their right mind would allow themselves to be photographed in such a state of undress?
   There are any number of pics of him looking a mess, even for the coronation.
   Being colour coded in their dress is the silliest thing too. Nobody Willis’ age or with a bald pink pate, looks good in that blue. I’ve always thought pale blue ties were for spivs with white shoes.
   As for seymour’s lolly pnk tie, who is he trying to attract with that? And Bishop – a total non-entity.

   They cannot even dress properly. Why would we think they can govern properly?
   Winston is too gorgeous and the others are more worried about wearing team colours than making sure their clothes fit properly. They all have their priorities wrong.

   • Good points Joy.
     Harcourts real estate blue is the Natzos colour code. Luxon in baggy rented trousers at the Coronation was embarrassing, a real man would put some bronzer on that pale shiny bonce rather than have it glinting at all and sundry.

     And Seymour with his Act Clown look-yellow and pink…

     • You fashionista you TM.

   • Suits are suits, they all pretend their wearers should be taken seriously.
     They have the opposite effect on me.

   • Luxon’s blazer button should be charging him overtime for all the hours it puts in straining at the seam. Winston will love this photo as the perspective makes him look taller than Seymour.

8. National mislead on so many things…John Key’s selloff of power co’s when the country said NO and this horrid affair…

9. Remember when John Key sold off power co’s saying it will make power prices cheaper. And you suckers fell for it. Check out this little story and the last sentence and understand why there are closures…

   “Check out this brilliant TVNZ Marae story about the closure of Winstone Pulp’s two Ruapehu mills last year and the loss of over 200 jobs in the region. Jude Sinai, a senior #WorkersFirst delegate and mill worker for over twenty years, explains the devastating impact on the local community and the ongoing damage to local industries, families, and the wider Ruapehu community. Jude has remained active as a delegate and a key support person for affected workers, continuing to fight for them after the closures. Workers First secured six months of funding for Jude to carry out this vital work under the umbrella of local iwi Ngāti Rangi. We’re proud of his mahi and hope that our Government is truly paying attention to the consequences of runaway electricity prices in New Zealand – it’s destroying our manufacturing industry and leaving hundreds of skilled workers without jobs.”

   • Thank you for that update NaSC.
     It’s a huge area to be left with no reliable industry and few large employers. Seasonal work cannot compensate.
     Shortly after that Luxon was off trying to drum up off-shore investment. i.e. a wee holiday at our expense. Prospects only had to look at his handling of those closures, to know he was talking through his hat. He has no control over the private owners of our power companies. Just as we will have no control over hospitals or schools when they are sold off.

10. Image has been planned with woman dressed as some cartoon woman superwoman dominating the picture and supplicant men alongside. Yahboo sucks is my childish response. Did you get my first response, yours?

    Kafka thought about this years/a century ago.
    https://electramagazine.fundacaoedp.pt/en/editions/issue-25/kafka-and-critique-bureaucracy
    Kafka and the Critique of Bureaucracy by Gianluca Cuozzo
    Franz Kafka understood the forms and rules of the exercise of power in the contemporary world with particular lucidity; forms and rules in which violence is concealed, made acceptable because it is entrusted not to the executioner or to a repressive apparatus that makes a direct and threatening show of itself, but to the weapons of writing.

    The shackles of suffering humanity, Kafka declared to the Prague writer Gustav Janouch, ‘are made up of official papers,’ of documents passed hand to hand between legions of officials, often anonymous and insignificant, but whose power is enhanced through dumb submission to the bureaucratic machine. These are written and printed documents of all kinds: official forms, identity cards, indictments and court rulings; but also letters of recommendation, summonses, revocations, validations, fines, simple administrative formalities, and questionnaires for statistical purposes. These papers grow exponentially, and are the means by which the governing bodies exercise their power.

    Essentially the same circumstance had been noted by Max Weber, according to whom the modern management of the bureaucratic machine ‘is based upon written documents (‘files’), which are preserved in their original or duplicate form. There is, therefore, a staff of subaltern officials and scribes of all sorts’ placed in charge of processing, sorting and filing official papers. These officials, as Kafka notes in The Trial, are organised in ranks or legions,… Avenida Brasília, Central Tejo, 1300-598 Lisboa | electra.edit@edp.pt

    It could be that intellectual thought to pay attention to in this century will not come from USA or UK, those abbreviated …doms, whatever they truly were. Perhaps Europe still, which has conflicting and wider views, and South America overlooked in my education.

    Between Artificial Unconsciousness and Machina Sapiens Vania Baldi
    The work of Italian sociologist Vania Baldi, author of Otimizados e Desencontrados. Ética e Crítica na Era da Inconsciência Artificial [Optimised and Disconnected. Ethics and Criticism in the Era of Artificial Unconsciousness] draws on the philosophy and anthropology of technology. In this article, he challenges the unrestricted belief, blind optimism, and ethical negligence regarding the new systems of Artificial Intelligence.
    The new computational ontology
    What are the reasons for analysing and discussing the nature of the loudly trumpeted ‘generative intelligence’ of the new systems of Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Simply questioning the concept of ‘intelligence’ used in the realm of digital services and products, as well as the mediatisation associated with them, could seem like a linguistic caprice or conceptual purism. But when we add the adjective ‘generative’, the perplexity reaches a vaster scope, one where ethical and political concerns join theoretical ones.

    • Another Nigel Molesworth fan!
      Dear old NM would have had something to say about that lot and the illustrator, Ronald Searle would have made mincemeat of them, all well deserved.
      The cover of the ‘Compleet (sic) Molesworth’ actually shows Cluxy in his school days. He based his look on someone and now we know who. His mum bought him a large jacket but he’s almost out-grown it. Time for it to be handed down to Molesworth 2.

11. Our, our, Minister, of finance. Like Maggie stance, is like Maggie, not for turning.
    Looking forward to the Ministers, after advice budget.
    Is not their advice, like Labour, who, who they ridiculed for cost and outside people advise/.

12. Off course they did. Hope in a minimum casual wage economy. hOW long Kiwi, wake up in the day light, understand. the pin number of your account casual and exploited.

13. ” Exactly as TDB warned you! National’s Family Boost that they claimed you would all enjoy turns out to be so complex that it’s meaningless bullshit AND YOU FELL FOR IT CHUMPS! ”

    Not me. I know from watching politicians for many years that if you believe them you are cutting your own throat.

    Political parties like Billionaires , corporates and used car salesmen don’t give a shit about you or your kids as long as they can successfully deceive you and take your hard earned money.

14. This latest debacle is designed to test our resistance and has nothing to do with mistakes or grandiose expectations. The gangster clan that is national are conducting a psychological experiment on us to gauge just how far they can push, shove and bully us into. It’s manipulation and exploitation 101 effectively.
    There’s a deeper darker agenda being tested here in my opinion. I think it’s about us having the sovereignty of our AO/NZ forfeited to foreign money, a deal eagerly offered by a cadre of old crooks well used to the luxury of free primary industry money. BTW. Writing ” Suck. It. Up. Chumps. ” etc is unhelpful. People are afraid. People are shit scared of where the charade that was our politic is dragging them down to. If you’ve got kids, mortgages and HP’s you’re going to be having sleepless nights.
    As for your adoration of Adern? Let me remind you. National, Labour, ACT, NZ First and to a slightly lessor extent The Green Party? Under the disease that’s neoliberalism those parties are all the same thing. They’re all to a greater or lessor extent a means of controlling us to exploit us to enable them, the already hyper rich, to becoming ever more rich.

    • kwtc The things that you write or send at 4 am! Your mind seems so clear, does it last all day? If so perhaps I should sympathise. You have maintained a sceptical and reasoned view all the time I have been coming to this blog and it’s good for us to see the facts and beliefs laid out. Ta very much also maybe, I think we need to have a regular look at Monty Python’s French Taunting and the one on how to ascertain a witch using logic and reason, as similar thoughts to ours have occurred before and remind us that sometimes they get through the net curtains?
