    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?
