No need to panic...the Natz have no talent and no coalition friends. As for consultants...when Joyce was running MBIE payments to consultants reached 2million a week!170K for a big T.V..70K for a foyer sculpture,hell even $400 for a hair straightener...money(taxpayers)=no object. I could go on about how fiscally irresponsible,Key,English,and McCully were in wasting millions and millions but I see you are a dyed in the wool Natz acolyte.

If you are satisfied and dream of running 2nd...maybe you're really Dean Barker. Can you see TAS winning a Grp 1 on the firm in Sydney or Melb this prep?

Boss reckoned Kolding could have gone another furlong holding off the Shark.Funstar flogged Probabeel and MB is a fortuna syndicate horse.

Hilarious..the Nats standard answer is 'we don't have the data'...now they have accurate gang membership data!Pull the other one it plays a quintet by Schubert. National reverting to their default position bash beneficiaries and act tough on crime(except for white collar=their stripe). 'The truth is National have a good record of responsible government that looks after all in society . '=comedy GOLD .

What a fantastic breeding dynasty over many decades-the Belle family.

debateable-'trust the master...this is the day of the tangerine dream'.

It does mean fuckall to the average American.The average American can last about 3 weeks before he is in dire financial straits.

They were not offered on the open market.

Course they were sold to mates!They gave an ex Fay Richwhite hack 2.3million to plan the sales FFS!Some state houses were sold for 38% of valuation with the condition they were to be rented for 25 years. You just said the Sallies and co could not afford them.NZ needs more state houses,not less!You have N.FI. old sock.

I look at the betting pools in Melbourne compared to Sydney and its compelling which City is number one as far as punters are cdoncerned!

Barry your figures and facts' are not accurate but reflect your blind allegiance to National. National maintain the status quo and enrich the few at the expense of the many.That is their raison d'etre'.40,000 empty homes in Auckland alone = the demand deficit. National are good at spin and embedding misconceptions like...they are sound economic managers,safe pair of hands,on the cusp of something special. Handing over public assets to their mates...high country pastoral leases,privatising prisons and utilities...selling off NZ to the highest bidders...and after politics ,directorships at companies that have donated to their election campaigns. A rogues gallery with the latest entrants Key,English,Coleman and Shipley.Should be in jail.

Hitler had a high approval rating too...so what!

National sold state houses,renegged on reforming the RMA and ignored the money laundering of foreign buyers,all which worsened the crisis. Affordability is reflected only by record low interest rates,manipulated as usual to counter the Q.E excesses.A 500K house at 8% vs a million dollar house @4%Unutilised landbanking and empty residences need to be levied to increase supply.Singaporean buyers should be banned as well.They have no land. The housing crisis is like a leaking dam,instead of fixing it,National as usual kicked the can down the road for Labour to take care of.

A crack field but what a fantastic steer...was it the 'handbrake?

The biggest dynamic has been the cost of housing to ordinary NZ'ers. Key and co accelerated the crisis with their denial of its existence. Conveniently RE is left out of the inflation index.Not hard to see why is it? The % the average worker spends on mortgage/rent is obscene and a reflection of never ending QE and Nationals worship of an 'open economy'=NZ 4 SALE.

'the financial crisis of 2007–2008, also known as the global financial crisis and the 2008 financial crisis, was a severe worldwide economic crisis considered by many economists to have been the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s, to which it is often compared'... AND which was caused by the voracious greed of Wall St,John Key's lords and masters ,who he no doubt went to for the billions ,borrowed. Borrowing for tax cuts is pretty fucking stupid. Wage rises for lower paid workers works way,way better as far as economic stimulus goes.

Winx achievements certainly showcased Waller 's training prowess. Early days she was at least twice beaten clearly by a filly called First Seal.While Waller rested Winx to strengthen up...First Seal raced in everything, all conditions and barriers and never ,ever reached her true potential imo.

Tax cuts are now recognised world wide as the tool required to keep an economy going '.....do tell!!Evidence pleas.

Popular poster conspicuous by his absence lately....must be...wallpapering!

Your 1 is just plain,unadulterated b/s. your 2 required around 20billion.He borrowed around 80 (won't say who from..so likely his former masters).He used some borrowings to fund TAX CUTS for the top end of town.Hopeless.

we have a weak and failing PM who has no real answers to help New Zealand. '...too funny Ted...we just had 9 years of a do nothing clusterfuck with one plan...borrow billions!

and John Key's record is- destroying the Kiw Dream of home ownership,trying to turn NZ into a tax haven to benefit his mates,a flag referendum,borrowing 80 billion to indebt NZ's younger generation ,selling NZ'ers assets,and general duplicity and chicanery.

There were 4 women who made claims of sexual assault by Jamie Lee Rossi. Bennett swept them under the carpet! A real scandal atm is National s Chinese spy MP and his recent trip with Bridges to meet senior CPR security officers.And let's not forget the confirmation that Collins coy was involved in the broken fuel pipeline that disrupted supplies.

Your Jacinda derangement syndrome is not good for your blood pressure old sock.

Laughable beatups lead by the ex Taupo truck stop waitress who nevewr DELIBERATELY mislead Social Welfare. Try the JLR sex scandal if you really want some scandal. As for Barely Sober...much ado about nothing. Where was the scrutiny when Key had not been briefed,not been told,..ask Tucker.
