How much tax payer money has been wasted defending poorly written, human rights breaching, shite legislation.
Any $$ saving this Govt claims is probably being pissed away in the court system as they desperately defend dodgy law, crafted from garbage cooker-style policy.

Well, this might contribute to the explanation around why the Wellington night shelter charges $10 per night to house the unhoused. Shouldn’t that $$ be going to shelters and urgent housing? #nzpol

Just a morning thought, but, does #NZpol share my concern that politicians shouldn’t be allowed to force through legislation, especially a bill that’s been rejected three times before, as part of a coalition agreement?

Methinks that because certain MPs are pocketing money and (allegedly) fudging their own system for financial gain, and they probably socialise with other wealthy people who do/have behaved the same way, they assume everyone is doing that. Projecting much. #nzpol

1/2 A Treasury document was released showing that this government has created more debt in 2 years than the last government did in 6 years. It has given away so much money to landlords, tobacco companies, oil & gas corporations, and the wealthy, that there isn’t much left to run the country. #nzpol
Govt's dirty little Treasury Secret is finally out: Will this govt cut healthcare and raise the retirement age?

And yet, the Govt happily want to increase the threshold for reporting donations and loans to $6k because, of ‘inflation’.
