This was National’s pre election blurb…
Doesn’t mention austerity, increased unemployment, business insolvency, health care disaster, public service pain, migration loss, hammering the vulnerable, kissing tRump’s butt, ignoring climate change and more.
It was never about the people… was it Luxon!

Recently a golf club in Rotorua was criticised for lighting a fire that burn green waste in an open fire season.
Below apparently are the rules or the game🤔
Has there ever been a fire’s smoke that has remained in the property🤔
Offensive and objectionable smoke..so subjective and unworkable🤦

This is some of the advice you receive when you ask AI how to improve the economy and it’s certainly not what our govt are doing. 😱 No mention of rewarding financial supporters with favourable contracts and appointments or tax breaks for selected sectors that coincide with MP’s business activities!!

Winston waffling again..
Particularly interested in the last paragraph referring to a pragmatic approach to maintaining services during an upgrade.
Result, bin the Awatere and suspend rail freight for 4 years plus!
Great start!!
$13.4 mill spent and…
just another gravy “train”

The height of incompetence and vested interest!
Peters & Willis argue 3-4bill too much for major infrastructure investment to link our 2 islands. Brown was happy to spend 1 billion on Northland roads, a coalition deal with Peters🤔
No bloody ferries ordered yet, 4+ yrs waiting! & 2yrs to get here!

Ive have wondered for a while over landlord interest tax deductibility🤔
Table mortgage structure, always heavily weighted interest component at early stages on repayments.
Say $2000 a month in repayments, of that, $1800 is interest…
Tax benefits on the $1800 would be huge, or am I imagining this
