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.
Every day, ‘Christian’ Luxon continues to show his true colours and his blatant racism! He truly is an empty-headed and cruel despot with not one iota of understanding or compassion for anyone hurting. While Trump is the worst “thing” to happen to the USA, Luxon is our “cross to bear”. His CoC-ups have crashed our economy; caused a yawning division between the ‘haves’ and ‘have-nots’; and are hell bent on ripping off the already “ripped off” in a show of petulance and power. Shame on you Luxon. Simple maths, if you take away an already low-paid working person’s income you leave them with NOTHING, not even hope. Everything your CoC touches is knee-jerking, cruel and sadistic. You are only interested in ‘photo-shoots’ and blabbing incoherent garbage. While your lot stay in “control?” NZ will never recover from your government’s actions. Someone out there knows where those evicted from emergency housing went – can’t rely on our one-eyed dim-witted media to tell us, so please where are they?
…National promise today what tomorrow never brings.
Should be their electoral slogan for accuracy …
Thank you for consistently showing up with excellence and genuine care
That survey result is funny – the Nat’s only wins are on the two things where the public think force and violence are required.
It’s always best to play to your strengths. National have once again shown that hoary old cliche about them being “sound economic managers” and “a safe pair of hands for the economy” is a steaming load, so it’s good they’ve got the state-sanctioned bullying of those least able to defend themselves to fall back on.
When all else falls, slapping a beneficiary always gets you a round of applause from the usual suspects.
The only reason “national” is shown as being most capable to manage law and order is because they use it as a weapon of fear to be instilled in society and then preach that they are the only ones who can solve the issue. Now Goldsmith is saying there is a drop in serious crime – https://www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/360893019/government-says-violent-crime-down-are-they-right
What a load of typical propaganda nonsense. Talk about lies, damn lies and then statistics. It is all about manipulating the statistics to convince society they are achieving something when in fact, the opposite is true.
People who support Luxon, Seymour, Peters and Trump, are the feral MAGA hat wearing, misogynistic, brainwashed , down the rabbit hole conspiracy theorists who also support the far-right facist religious organisations which are currently influencing the in-power regimes here in NZ. Just look at the influence and conduct of the despicable Destiny Church and Gloriavale cults, yet the current CoC does nothing to restrain them and their brutal controllers.
Whilst the salivate over the fictional crime stats they have creamed their panties over the KiwiSaver policy. The irony is the employee will be forced into using more of their discretionary money, the employer will offer lower wages to compensate their contribution, all the while the Government has or will eventually contribute zero. They will spin this to make it sound viable and the gullible who voted them in last time off the back of tax cut promises will fall for it all over again.
Might help with fucking homelessness is there weren’t dickhead landlords that didn’t know tenancy law.
Case in point, landlord is an international sportsman who owns 4 property’s and drives a Jag SUV.
Tenant issues a 14 days notice due to rot, water ingress and mold in one room and a major ceiling leak in another who then issues a 7 days notice within one hour after the 14 day notice was sent to vacate because it needs to be re-roofed and is “uninhabitable”
One landlord and 5 property managers CC in the eviction notice doesn’t think it illegal under tenancy law.
Welcome to National.
