    They’re not the ones in power any more. If they had been covering up something, don’t you think at least one of the partners in the current coalition Government would have an interest in uncovering it?

    They are far too busy fisxing the shit they inherited. There is increasing interest in this topic from many other places - much more to uncover yet.

    Shouldn’t this be part of it? That is, if there is really something to it, and not complete hot air.

    Not sure of your meaning, but I am sure that you agree that this government was left with a shit load of problems to fix. Clearly they were, as witnessed by the election results.

    Surely, preventable deaths happening under Labour’s watch would be a

    I am sorry you are confused Tony. You must feel posting something of
    value as the unattainable holy grail of your life, but sadly you are
    not there yet - and your last post above was merely off-topic.

    Read the subject of the thread Tony. During the time Labour were in
    government, excess deaths were negative - the precautions taken
    actually reduced new Zealand deaths.
    See: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-cumulative-per-100k-economist?tab=chart&facet=none&country=AUS~NZL~CAN~USA~GBR~NOR~SWE

    That line for New Zealand was below zero for a long time, but has been
    just over the zero level since the beginning of 2023. It may rise as
    the government apparently purposes to impose a charge for the vaccine
    from June - which may hit those on benefits or the minimum wage hard;
    and some may not feel they can afford it - excess deaths may occur as
    a result.






    But now Covid appears here to stay under NAct1st -

    If there really is some kind of conspiracy to cover up Covid-19 deaths, or vaccine deaths, or conspiracy-to-cause-deaths, or death-plague-by-zombie deaths, or whatever it is you think Labour were covering up, you would now
    have to admit that National, ACT and NZ First are all part of the

    Tony hates facts, especially incontrovertible facts that are agreed internationally, that are based on solid evidence and that show that
    through listening to the science and the facts, Labour made the
    correct decisions relating to both Covid and to the economic impact of
    Covid.

    See: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-deaths-cumulative-per-100k-economist?tab=chart&facet=none&country=AUS~NZL~CAN~USA~GBR~NOR~SWE

    In Tony's mind National is "Right" and Labour / Green are always
    WRONG! Except that now he is finding that he has been lied to by
    Luxon. Every decision is making life better for the wealthy and worse
    for everyone else. Even worse, and I am guessing that Tony is retired,
    he is finding that under National it is getting harder to maintain his
    standard of living - yes NZ Super is being increased with average
    earnings, but they are not keeping up with inflation. The "Squeezed
    middle" are still being squeezed, but they don't get mentioned any
    more - only the top tax rate is being dropped, but costs are rising
    faster than wages; poverty in increasing again, and the government are
    making that harder as well by bashing bennies - it is after all
    beneficiaries that are at fault if they lose their jobs. So Tony is a
    little bitter about life; and all he has are empty slogans.

    My guess is also that despite his bluster, Tony does keep up with
    vaccinations - and pleased that the government is continuing to pay
    for them for him at least - although he may know someone that will now
    have to pay - the government may not be making them free for Community
    card holders . . .

    So we can expect more wild rants from Tony about Labour having got it
    all wrong, while meantime ACT/Nat/NZ! - the Atlas acolytes - will make
    sure donors get a good return on donation capital supplied . . .

    Why did you use a word like “lying”, then? Is that not a claim of a deliberate act to cover up something? Can you coordinate something like

    Fair comment David, but it is interesting to see the self-delusion
    fostered by the big money spent on propaganda; I am quite proud of New
    Zealand for having resisted so much, but naturally disappointed that
    the government turned out so much worse than many had anticipated. I
    suspect Tony is having second thoughts about much of the idiocy being
    put forward - the "Squeezed middle" is starting to get a bit upset
    about things getting worse so quickly. I have been posting to
    nz.general for a very long time, and I find the unrestricted nature of
    the group to have value beyond the carefully managed "discussions" on

    Lie removed. The "Squeezed
    middle" are still being squeezed, but they don't get mentioned any
    more - only the top tax rate is being dropped, but costs are rising
    faster than wages; poverty in increasing again, and the government are
    making that harder as well by bashing bennies - it is after all
    beneficiaries that are at fault if they lose their jobs. So Tony is a
    little bitter about life; and all he has are empty slogans.

    Lie removed

    Why did you use a word like “lying”, then? Is that not a claim of a >deliberate act to cover up something? Can you coordinate something like

    I have not in this thread or any other thread stated that there is a
    conspiracy. That is a fact, and my having to repeat it tells us a lot more about you than me.

    Fair comment David, but it is interesting to see the self-delusion
    fostered by the big money spent on propaganda; I am quite proud of New >Zealand for having resisted so much, but naturally disappointed that
    the government turned out so much worse than many had anticipated. I
    suspect Tony is having second thoughts about much of the idiocy being

    I sincerely wish that you would take David's advice.
    It would relieve you of the compulsion to lie so much, your defamatory comments would be reduced and the world would be a happier and more sane place.
    Do it.

    No, but the response to it from many quarters has been very much
    political. Evidence being this entire thread.

    After you, Tony . . . . or can you not take your own prescription?

    I suspect hat because the thread was started by JohnO. Tony believes
    that he can support the Subject without being responsible. I confirm
    that Tony is not responsible, in every sense of that word.

    Wow, so you do read the newspapers after all. Well done, it was political from day one and used by the government of the day to control the population - and they revelled in it.
