Thought this was an interesting post on KB by David Garrett -"I remember Rodney Hide telling me that at one of his regular meetings with Key, Key said: “We’re not much interested in policy Rodney; we just look after driving the ship more efficiently'
Doubt whether voters will care much, if at all. National does not look to have much 'talent' .Where are these 'big brains' hiding? The leader is a slow learner that gives corporate execs a bad name,the deputy should be renamed 'shriek',and bash the Bishop,...
Neutrality is easily the best option for NZ imo. The world is being divided into a George Bush nightmare...'you are either with us...or against us'...as far as the U.S goes. The BRICS just added 6 new members including Saudi Arabia and Iran. The writing is...
Convicted felon is most definitely...rogue territory. Lucky he still has a knighthood and avoided ...jail.
So Dame Jenny Shipley joins the Natz rogues gallery.She has Sir Douglas Graham,amongst others for....company.
Are you shocked at how the right...'socialise the losses...and privatise...the profits'?
What's Labour's excuse for no CGT? The so called transformational Govt's deeds did not match their words. When people are looking for meat and potato policy,they come up with no GST on fresh/frozen fruit and veges and restricting vape shops to 600! ...

Maybe Luxon could team up with the Vision NZ Party....it could be a match...made in...heaven.
'It may have escaped your notice that nations with the highest rates of inflation never applied QE' Maybe, but I doubt Zimbabwe is a valid comparison for...your argument.
'Yes. But it did not cause any inflation rise, then or now because property value change it is not measured in the inflation statistics.' Unbelievable ...so cause and effect is not relevant if x,y or Z measure is applied. Hopeless.
Indeed they can, to realise you don't know what you're talking ..about.
I'm not encouraging anyone to vote for any particular party. You misinterpret things every time.
Comprehension required. CPI is not the the gold standard of measuring inflation imo and distorts it. I suppose you believed in 'trickle down 'theory ...too.
I have come to the conclusion that you are a wee bit...thick.
'PS For mine, I think you are way out of your depth on these topics.' Too funny...you contradict yourself continually. Here educate yourself,try not to cherry pick segments...in your world inflation is transitory and CPI is the only measure. 'What Causes ...
strange definition is it!-How housing costs are measured in consumer price indexes at Stats NZ | Stats NZ You seem to have veered off course. I'm saying Q.E lead to property inflation. It's been bubbling away for years and has now spilled over. Do not ...
' the only party that understands the real ramifications ' You can 'decry' them all you like -when you are in a position to really address an issue and tip toe around it..you are responsible.imo. Yes I agree TPM also have sound policy re property ...
' Then interest rates had to be lowered to make these huge mortgages 'affordable' No, low interest rates made larger mortgages affordable so people could afford to pay more for property (allowing those with debts to sell). Very good! 'higher interest rates...
Yes Labour have tinkered around the edges to combat the housing problem. Unfortunately they don't have the balls to really address the issue...no CGT .no empty homes levy,no stamp duties....nfi.
Surely an expansion in credit availability ,incentivises banks to make loans and get people spending. There seems an obvious correlation between Q.E and the explosion of property prices around the world. Then interest rates had to be lowered to make these ...
Good riddance .The way he used to gush on when he and 'Mitch' were on radio together,was...embarrassing.
I take issue with this.-'The QE during the GFC did not cause inflation.' How could it..not?It stimulates spending,distorts real,market risk and pricing. ' the world’s leading central banks, including the Federal Reserve, Bank of Japan, European Central ...
Q&A this morning observations. Tame is a very good interviewer. Simeon Brown is one of the Natz most polished performers...regurgitated 'our(insert policy)..will be released...shortly. ACT ,don't bother putting their candidates visage on alot of hoardings...
'Meanwhile get these people on a benefit.' That would be a vote winner and encourage more of the same.
What were Capt Ahab's political posts? Biden is as corrupt,vain,and as much a serial liar as Trump..imo.
Maybe the wrong video? Biden needs to be told what day it is,every time he gets out of..bed.If you really think he has much to do with policies ,you are in a minority imo.
Very good...point.
I can see a contradiction in your argument there. Who do you think these 'elites' vote for?
Generally accepted terms are quite reliable...because they are ...generally accepted. I should have used the word generalisation instead of premise...perhaps.
