• Labour's "Wellbeing" Budget - anyone remember that?

    From JohnO@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jul 12 14:26:24 2023
    How has that worked out. Are people feeling more well now?
    I don't think so.
    And Labour's brainless removal of fiscal probity from the budgeting process is now making people the opposite of well. They are fearful for their future. They are pouring out of NZ and into Australia. They have poor access to health. Education is being
    wrecked. People have never, ever been so polarised and divided.

    The election cannot come soon enough. It is a sad shame that the destruction wrought by this incompetent government will take a generation to remedy.

    It is no wonder Ardern bailed. She could see the failure she has presided over and the upcoming electoral train wreck. Still, hers was a very cowardly dick move.

    I well remember that budget - all the others less so. Like all
    budgets it projects spending in the current and future years, but
    prior to each budget there is never any reporting on past budgets and
    progress being made (or not). Both parties are at fault here but the
    headline spend of $1.9 Billion on mental health in the Wellbeing
    Budget is a stand-out failure.

    We also have all that extra spending from the pandemic - but none of
    it went to public health. This Labour government has fixed the
    absurdity of DHBs (20 separate entities with duplicated management
    roles, introduced by Labour) but we are yet to hear about the
    administrators and managers no longer needed.

    The introduction of nationwide co-governance and the attempt to have
    Maori permanently appointed as local body councilors is the killer
    reason Labour have to go.

    The level of invective against our Prime Minister was appalling -
    there was a programme about that recently - and she presided well

    the GFC that National used to excuse failures in nearly every area of government.

    Budget is a stand-out failure.
    The poor training and recruitment levels of the previous government
    were wider than just mental health. Very few have in fact left, but we
    are desperately short as National did not increase training even as
    the need became very evident.


    We also have all that extra spending from the pandemic - but none of
    it went to public health.
    Actually a huge amount went to public health - the vaccinations and
    other measures to limit the spread of Covid were mostly public heath.
    I accept that the payments to businesses were consequential - they
    ensured we had a very low economic loss - and we have gone through the recession stage of recovery later and less severely than other
    countries, and appear to be recovering more quickly.

    This Labour government has fixed the

    Meeting contractual commitments is something that National are trying

    get away with such blatant racism.

    There is not, and has never been, a contract or agreement that allows or encourages co-governance. What is really racist is co-governance itself. Why do you persist in in that deflection?

    Vaccinations is now being wound down. In the town where I live it

    Perhaps you might look at the trends for Government indebtedness since
    2020 Rich, then in current and future years you might look at how much
    interest that said increased debt is costing us.

    It is Labour that are guilty of blatant racism with nationwide
    co-governance (which was never mentioned prior to the last election so
    they have no mandate for it) and an attempt to have unelected Maori on
    the Rotorua District Council (as a model for future local government
    reform). They have so far got away with it Rich. Thankfully they
    backtracked at the last minute on legislation in respect of the RDC,
    and National have promised to repeal the water reforms legislation
    that includes provisions for nationwide co-governance.

    A collective? Spoken like the dyed in the wool communist you are Rich! NZ is several million independant people! Most who are disasistfied with your government because they've been destroying our society and like you hiding behind a tapestry of lies!

    Probably. however the government needs to take responsability for it's own actions that added to the problem instead of denying it! It's called honesty Rich, something lacking in both you and Labour!

    It's a racist policy Rich. Something I know both you and Labour have denied. Probably why so many are opposed to it. The reason of course Rich is because of the tendency for both you and Labour to lie about it!

    Rich you should be well aware that although the water reforms
    legislation has been legislated for we are still in an establishment
    period, and that National has promised to repeal said legislation if
    elected, to be replaced by their water reforms proposals. It is
    typical of you to introduce an irrational concept of 'inconvenience'.

    You are once more answering the wrong person - that is at least very lazy and possibly deliberately ignorant.
    However you have also lied. Finlayson talked about co-management not co-governance. You have had that explained to you several times but continue to lie.
    Co-governance is racist and undemocratic.

    Correct - and if I recall correctly Findlayson has said that the
    agreements he negotiated are not co-governance as enshrined in the
    Water Reforms legislation that Labour has passed.

    Co-governance is racist and undemocratic.

    That is correct. We have existed for over 180 years without it and
    there is no pressing reason to introduce it now after so long without
    it.

    I take offence at your deliberate slur on both me and on Chris
    Finlayson. He is an honourable man who is more knowledgeable about the
    law and the Treaty of Waitangi than most people, and definitely far
    better informed than you. He performed well as Treaty Minister in the
    Key / English Governments, and he is definitely not a racist. It is
    sad to see a political party descend to divisiveness to attract the
    bigotted and unthinking racist scum to try to boost their support. It
    is noticeable that many past National Party leaders and senior past
    politicians are not saying very much at present; racism is not a
    viable stance to take for a party that would like to think it can be
    elected to government.

    Your telling nz.general your opinions is no recommendation to anyone
    capable of elementary thinking; it is certainly far from any proof; it
    is not surprising that you are unable to show any articles supporting
    your racist views.

    Clearly you did not read the articles; I realise that you will not
    believe any posts from others to nz.general, but your unwillingness to
    even read evidence that you are wrong identifies you as a nasty troll.
    Take your racist views elsewhere, Tony.

    I take offence at your deliberate slur on both me and on Chris
    Finlayson.
    You are a very silly child. I did not slur Finlayson in any way at all. I did however call you out on your lies.
    Co-governance and co-management are very different things. But you know that don't you?
    He is an honourable man who is more knowledgeable about the
    law and the Treaty of Waitangi than most people, and definitely far
    better informed than you. He performed well as Treaty Minister in the
    Key / English Governments, and he is definitely not a racist.
    No he is not, but you are.
    It is
    sad to see a political party descend to divisiveness to attract the
    bigotted and unthinking racist scum to try to boost their support. It
    is noticeable that many past National Party leaders and senior past >politicians are not saying very much at present; racism is not a
    viable stance to take for a party that would like to think it can be
    elected to government.
    Totally off topic.

    Your telling nz.general your opinions is no recommendation to anyone
    capable of elementary thinking; it is certainly far from any proof; it
    is not surprising that you are unable to show any articles supporting
    your racist views.
    I am not a racist, but you are!

    Clearly you did not read the articles; I realise that you will not
    believe any posts from others to nz.general, but your unwillingness to
    even read evidence that you are wrong identifies you as a nasty troll.
    Take your racist views elsewhere, Tony.
    Rich you are deluded. Nobody here believes a word you post. And none of your posts showed that Finlayson supported co-governance which is a racist and undemocratic belief.
    Your faux offence is a slur on the good people of this country and your precious racist government is about to come to an end, hopefully for a decade or two - and you with it if there is any justice.

    . . . What has been pushed through that has affected you?

    So what damage do you think has been caused by ''pushing it though""?
    The National Party has in the past actively sought to honour the >>>principles of the Treaty of Waitangi, and Chris Finlayson actively >>>supported co-governance as part of the way of getting through those >>>settlements.
    You are once more answering the wrong person - that is at least very lazy and
    possibly deliberately ignorant.
    However you have also lied. Finlayson talked about co-management not >>co-governance. You have had that explained to you several times but continue to
    lie.

    Correct - and if I recall correctly Findlayson has said that the
    agreements he negotiated are not co-governance as enshrined in the
    Water Reforms legislation that Labour has passed.

    From what I read, not a great amount, co-management was much more like the Maori acting like a advocater for the environment. River is not in a good
    state of health, it needs some loving care and it has some spirtual
    importance to us Maori.

    Compared with, we have the power, so this is what you will do and you will
    pay us (elites this many $). Something like a river tax for the white priviledge.



    Co-governance is racist and undemocratic.

    That is correct. We have existed for over 180 years without it and
    there is no pressing reason to introduce it now after so long without
    it.
