Kerre has been shrinking Leightons market dramatically.

Soon redTed will  be the only listener.

Shows how out of touch you are. The highest rating radio show for years is Alan Jones. That’s why he’s paid multi millions to do the job. The Jacinta “sock in her mouth” is a hiccup. Jones will outlast Jacinta. Who would have thought a Leftie progressive woman would support a repressive regime by covering her head ? Madness but it won’t last. NZ’ers are not that stupid. Just as Aussies weren’t that stupid to elect Shorten.

Jones on final warning and forced to apologise ,as advertisers pull contracts.

At Jones age he won't be worried about final warnings.

Arden is stupid thinking she can try imitate others in the wider world who are far more influential & credible to dress in certain attire.

It's clear that useless predecessor Helen Clark is in the background driving much of the rubbish behavior we are all been subjected to.

Parliament needs a massive cull of all the crap and get it's act sorted out or all hell will break loose, then again maybe it is, seems to have gone very quiet about the Sexual and other Harassment issues but then that's not surprising as the Clark office was full of bullies and they don't like to admit their behaviours are unacceptable.

The way the lefties fawn over The Royal Family when they are here raises questions of ethics and respect to the family itself and why they visit us locals.

Unfortunately for us Jones is spot on , I don't know what's going on between Sky TV and Taxcindas lot BUT somehow they have influence over sky .

Remember the Christ CH massacre , CH 85 went off the screen for a full week , total censorship  at the request of cindys lot , I can't believe sky didn't tell them to piss off but they just folded .

Correct! He has the highest listening audience in Australia and they’re not going anywhere. A few sponsors leaving will make way for others. He doesn’t give a s##t and that’s why he’s the best.

Jacinda Will Struggle to Keep Her Head Above Water

By Christie

The media has fallen out of love with Jacinda. It’s about time. John Armstrong has some harsh words about our princess and her government, and it is music to my ears.

The glitter of Jacinda Ardern’s crown no longer sparkles or glistens quite so gloriously as it did not that many months ago. The Prime Minister’s political wizardry likewise no longer casts quite the spell over her opponents it once did.

She no longer walks on water. Her struggle from now on will be to keep her head above the water. She’s been swamped by the backwash from her mishandling of matters mundane. Her legacy is at risk of being a long list of monuments to failure.

Her political epitaph might turn out to be all about what she did not achieve rather than what she did achieve.

Being prime minister is a tough job, which cannot be done with slogans and hugs.

 

It is all a far cry from the assumption that she only needs to turn up at next year’s general election in order to win it. It is a far cry from the talk of her picking up the Nobel Peace, something which would place her in the esteemed company of the likes of Nelson Mandela, Yasser Arafat, Mother Theresa and Barack Obama.

Barack Obama got the Nobel Prize for being the first black president. The respect and standing of the award have gone downhill ever since.

The last three or four months have witnessed a significant shift in stance on the part of those Ardern-watchers. Not only has the criticism of the government become more severe, Ardern’s performance has received some pretty torrid reviews.

They were prompted by her failure to put the squeeze on New Zealand First and force Labour’s coalition partner to give ground and give its backing to a capital gains tax even in its most limited form.

The “failure of delivery” theme gained further traction in subsequent months, especially in the wake of the fiasco that was KiwiBuild.

Bold promises and action plans are one thing, but at some point, the voters expect some action. We are still waiting.

New Zealand’s political history is littered with the corpses of Labour governments which over-estimated the public’s appetite for change and under-estimated the potency of the streak of conservatism which runs deep in New Zealand’s conformist society.

Ardern’s Administration has been notable for being a roller coaster-like ride, one which has seen the throttle set at maximum speed in a mad-cap rush to reform just about anything that comes within its radar — and a whole lot more which does not.

They always say that Labour governments are the ones that get things done. This Labour government is breaking the mould in spectacular fashion.

With the next general election little more than a year away, the Prime Minister has to find the right formula which slows the forces driving her Government at break-neck speed, but which does not result in it stalling and further exacerbating the problem of delivery.

In that regard, next Wednesday’s unveiling of the KiwiBuild “reset” is crucial not just in terms of what the Government thinks it can achieve in such a critical portfolio over the next 12 months.

The reset will be a measure of the willingness of Ardern and her senior ministers to curb its wider ambition across the whole of government so that it is in sync with the capacity of the bureaucracy to meet realistic targets.

We will have to wait and see, but there is no realistic chance of saving Kiwibuild. The regulation process is too long, and there are just not enough builders to make a difference; the construction industry is at full throttle already. Then there is the fact that quite a few Kiwibuild houses remain unsold. There is little point in building houses that nobody wants.

The window that opened following the 2017 election and which enabled Labour and its two support partners to blame National for everything that was going wrong in the Universe has closed.

‘Nine years of neglect’, anyone?

It is National which is asking the awkward questions. It is Labour which is now failing to supply adequate answers. In that vein, Ardern is vulnerable to the charge that a fair chunk of what she utters is political flannel. She is exceptionally good at making the meaningless sound meaningful.

TVNZ

I disagree. I think she is exceptionally good at making the meaningless sound meaningless. A true master in fact.

A leader who talks rubbish most of the time. Ministers who destroy profitable industries, and fail to grant permits to sustainable energy projects. Green ministers who call people who just want to get to work on time ‘car fascists’. A government that has plenty of money, but no idea what to do with it. We are being governed by clowns. Just how exactly did this happen?

Oh. That’s right. Winston made it happen.

first National stalwart John Roughan and now the grand daddy partisan of them all,silly old John Armstrong!

Do me a ...favour!

Oh, I don't know about that. What a lovely picture of the Prime Minister comforting Issac Luke after his last game for the Warriors on the weekend. She's got the personal touch. Plenty of voters like that.

TV3 , BRIDGING finance = a loan .

Chorus to keep afloat so what  , doing that would be a positive thing wouldn't it , the alternative would be disaster for communication .

Lets get this clear , no escaping it , this is real ,  life or death for many .  Cindys new  spend  on CANCER is for the whole of NZ and is about the same amount of MONEY  she is spending on 29 DEAD people at pike river .

Like all investments re cancer (at the behest of Drug coy PR spin)for decades will achieve absolutely nothing except an expensive 'feelgood' factor.

The money announced is not solely for cancer either but is also for other Pharmac drugs for various illness's.

Forget the drug company's Thomas , they are here to stay , without them life expectancy would be 50 at best for us males . I recon you are right about the cindy feelgood factor , the cancer part of the first 20 Mill will go on setting this thing up . 

A person I know has cancer , he was referred to the hospital by his GP , some time later he received a letter from the hospital , Quote , you are on the serious list and you can expect to see a specialist within 4 MONTHS , what actually happened was he had an incident and was promoted up the list , it still took 3 weeks .

The situation is all hospital boards are out of money yet we are paying more tax , cindy has no idea what she is doing , all ideas but no substance , useless.

So?No evidence exists to say any treatment they may get will prolong their life in any meaningful way.

The Treasury tried to tell Julie Anne Genter her Car Tax would be totally ineffective at reducing emissions and would unfairly penalise Kiwis while giving discounts to the well-off.

She didn't listen and now Kiwis will be stuck paying the bill
