8,000 more smoking deaths, 13,000 more children in poverty, massive cuts to public services looming.
Remember this, every terrible thing this government is doing is all to smash and grab enormous amounts of public money, that could be spent on services for everyone, and give it to landlords.
Nothing but sheer economic vandalism and greed from this government.
We knew that was going to happen and voted for them anyway.
They didn’t advertise that they intended to promote the tobacco industry
Some of us didn’t…😔
What the fuck
This is the “I’ll scratch your back” part of the exchange.
Can we just all agree that the majority of the actions the current gov is focusing their time and effort on are dragging this country backwards?
Is there anyone who’s able to say fuck yea to all actions the coalition are completing?
Like my family is a bit more on the right then me, they definitely voted for one of the three parties, but even they are like “what the fuck” to half the shit that they are doing.
I’d be surprised if they extend their reign at the next election.

You and me maybe but “we all” is a large group and clearly the majority of the country wanted this.
dragging this country backwards
Delivering on campaign promises - no new ideas just “vote for us and we’ll undo the progress the last government made!”
Never seen anything like it. They don’t do anything just undo, undo, undo all day.
To be fair Winston’s slogan was “let’s take our country back” and National’s slogan was something about “getting NZ back on track”… neither of them said to where.
It seems to be back to the 1970s. Or maybe the 1870s.
Oh I have. Pretty typical playbook for conservatives world wide at the moment. They can’t even be creative in their lack of creativity
Culturally perhaps 1970s; but in terms of economics very much back to the 80s/90s neo-liberal reforms.
Luxon’s speech yesterday spinning a $200B hole in transport funding and the rough state of government’s books is a setup for more UK style austerity. The proposed replacements for 3 waters sets things up for privatisation of water assets. The only thing holding that back would be Te Tiriti, oh and what’s happening in that space?
I never thought they would eat MY face!
This is one hell of a slippery slope.
See, what you are forgetting is that socialism is for people who checks notes have all the capital and capitalism is for people who shuffles index cards have no capital to participate with
