Can we just pull back to last week?
It was announced based on August data that the vast number of Emergency Housing applications in NZ had been denied.
600 odd requests, over 400 denied.
Jesus wept.
This follows a clear pattern with the National Party.
They announce some draconian knee jerk policy reaction, that everyone in the secotr wars will produce counter productive negative outcomes and they always looked surprised.
EVERYONE told them that their changes to Emergency Housing would generate more homeless.
EVERYONE told them cutting back on Food Banks would make desperate people hungry.
EVERYONE told them the welfare sanctions wouldn’t work.
EVERYONE told them that denying compensation for being abused a s child if you had gone to prison was contrary to what the Royal Inquiry recommended.
EVERYONE told them cancelling the IRex Ferries was fucking stupid and would end up costing us more.
EVERYONE told them that shutting down Labour’s infrastructure pipeline would see workers leave NZ for Australia.
EVERYONE told them scrapping the EV market would cause negative outcomes.
In each case the Government were warned and they did it anyway and now scramble to fix the  problem they have helped create!
National are creating the very homelessness that they now want to arrest
No wonder Kiwis simply don’t trust National with any of the big issues…
…National promise today what tomorrow never brings.
They have manipulated your petty bigotries with alt-right culture war bullshit while they pursue a NZ for their donor’s interests, not yours.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
But I arrested Luxon first, so
And
