MEDIAWATCH: Liam Dann starts backpedaling on the green shoots of recovery champagne
Oh Jesus, this is priceless.
Here was Liam Dann at the end of last year when the Right were pimping the green shoots of recovery…
Pop the bubbly, the economic recovery is here (finally) – Liam Dann
…now as the reality of that bullshit fades, here he is today…
CPI preview: Stubborn inflation could mean interest rates rise sooner than forecast
…those green shoots of recovery are really the dried snot of desperation.
Where’s your champagne now Liam?
The economy IS NOT getting better despite Luxon’s ‘Growth, growth, growth’ mantra.
The only growth has been in meth consumption, unemployment, liquidations, food banks and the departure lounge of every International Airport in the country!
The Economy is NOT going to get better, as Bernard Hickey points out…
The problem for Luxon is his Government is relying on a 1990s and mid-2000s strategy of businesses and households stepping forward to spend their savings and borrow more to invest and spend in shops, car dealerships and in the housing market. Back then, the private sector replaced the Government’s stimulus because spenders were younger and less-indebted, interest rates were cut by more, and businesses used to borrow from banks to expand. Neither have done that since 2019.
…after 2 years National have nothing to show the people other than crony capitalism and culture war revenge fantasies masquerading as social policy.
The Economy is in far more serious shape than free market cheerleaders will admit.
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.
As mentioned in an earlier post the economy is going to get much worse despite the usual idiots proclaiming otherwise. Labour will be required to clean up Nationals mess( again).
Does Labour have a Clark/Cullen combination that can do that job?
They still have the idiots that ran things so badly last time they got voted out .Nothing new to offer nothing bold
Trevor those idiots still did a much better job than these idiots. Nicola Willis is hopeless. Robertson was certainly better than her. How the hell can you use words like “bold” and support this mob?
A monkey and Gorilla can do that job compared to what’s been served up over the past couple of years.
Yes they do,Barbara is on to it watch this space .
” The only growth has been in meth consumption, unemployment, liquidations, food banks and the departure lounge of every International Airport in the country! ”
Bomber great response.
Any chance of getting that on billboards and bus stops ?
” …after 2 years National have nothing to show the people other than crony capitalism and culture war revenge fantasies masquerading as social policy ”
Of course.
Now Hipkins , Sepuloni and the rest of the LINO caucus and strategists , what have your business corporate donors said you can promise the great unwashed to take to the election campaign ?
We are breathless with boredom and apathy.
The danger of Labour’s Feeble Incrementalism: They just need to sit back, promise nothing and implement a less cruel management team. Never underestimate Labour’s capacity to become very middle class incremental on the big issues. This is why they need to have a searing negotiation process via Greens + Māori Party post the election, they will never do the things needed on their own.

That paragraph above is why I GAVE UP ON LABOUR in 2018.
IN 2026 i am voting two ticks green in chch central which is an open book seeing Dr Duncan webb is leaving.
Strategic voting is a must in 2026 think beyond your traditional two ticks labour.
WHO IS GOING TO HOLD A GUN TO LABOURS HEAD TO BRING IN THE NEEDED CHANGES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seat vote Labour sure where Labour can take the seat.
Party vote Green .
That will give the Greens the hand gun needed .
The answer is the Green’s complete party policy. https://www.greens.org.nz/policy_complete_party
Kiwi’s need to ditch the FPTP line of thinking and embrace what MMP allows to force changes from the two legacy centrist parties.
WAKE UP FOLKS.
The only cork that is being blown out is reserved for the top and its enablers as they celebrate their continued political and economic suppression of the majority of our people with no opposition or fightback.
