The Green’s like most proto-communists have no idea how to how, they have a blind faith it will work but no clue how to get to their utopia.
I would hope this term in government will wake up some of their supporters but do not have much faith it will.

  They’re always just a few more regulations, restrictions, bans and taxes away from their utopia.

Quotas over competence, only leftist munters can’t see it, let alone admit the abject failure of their ideology.
They won’t be happy until their utopian nightmare of turning NZ into the Haiti of the Sth Pacific becomes reality.

    Good point, since when did the media gain the right to re-name this country? They’re all at it, and it’s cringeworthy.

  When they get their own medical system are they using tohungas?
  They had better, as they seeem to dislike anything based on white privilege, or colonialism!
  This will free up EDs and general practices to an acceptable level.

Sums it up perfectly.
I’m sure some clever photo modifier can add several more as most Ministers have cocked up their portfolios to some extent.

  It doesn’t take any particular skill Ted. All you need to do is to go to one of the many meme generators available online (Google search: free meme generator), and Bob’s your uncle. On the odd occasion when I’ve wanted to do a meme, I’ve used ImgFlip – https://imgflip.com/memegenerator/27596988/Free

Seen those ‘Employee of the Month’ displays in stores? Well, Ms Davidson is ‘Useless Minister of the Month’ for April. There’s vast number of her colleagues vying for the title next month, and the following month, and so on.

Never before have New Zealanders ushered in such an array of dangerously incompetent leaders.

    What the hell has Audrey been drinking?
    I guess Audrey is hoping to get part of the next big payment to the media companies.

Posts like this, while being utterly, utterly correct and brutal are being ignored by the feckless ones. They either:
1). Can’t connect the dots; or
2). Don’t want to connect the dots

Sadly the majority of the population (especially those without penises) are still in their covid cult, (little) Aotearoa housing inflation stupor therefore give zero fucks.

We aren’t even at midnight with respect to this madness let alone dawn.

  A team of fools is usually worse than a single fool.
  Reminds me of a recent quote by Dominic Cummings:
  “You might think somewhere there must be a quiet calm centre like in a James Bond movie where you open the door and that is where the ninjas are who actually know what they are doing. There are no ninjas. There is no door. “

    My god, that is so true.
    
    When the “pandemic” hit in February last year, The Blond and I had just got back from a dive trip (sigh, happy memories). Client (Ministry) dragged me to Wellington for advice. Thusly advised:
    
    1. The MoH will, if they haven’t already (someone should check) activate the longstanding pandemic plans, we need to be guided by those.
    
    2. Switch to Command and Control quickly, heres what that looks like, including the planning streams which you MUST follow otherwise its just daily panic sessions.
    
    Outcome?
    
    1. MoH didn’t, and I still dont know why. Maybe the Royal Commission will tell us…except that’s not happening
    
    2. C&C implemented with no forward planning capability. Daily panic ensues.
    
    I left after 2 weeks of stupidity.

        They were tasked by their Minister to come up with the MIQ systems and processes.
        
        After a month of nothing even the Minister had enough and it was thrown over the fence to MBIE with 48 hours notice.
        
        When MBIE asked where have you got to…

  Weasel words from Davidson, who has been hoist by her own petard. Her delegated authority as Associate Housing Minister makes it clear what her responsibilities are, including:
  
  * Progress on the support and prevention pillars for individuals, families and whanau experiencing or at risk of homelessness
  
  * Responsibility for operational policy relating to transitional housing
  
  She is also required to work closely with other Ministers. In particular, her delegation requires her to work with the Minister for Social Development and Employment on the government’s work to prevent and end homelessness.

  Yes, I also heard the interview last night with Andrew Dickens. What a trainwreck.
  
  She responded to criticism from the Monte Cecilia Housing Trust that she hasn’t been saying or doing anything, claiming that she’s certainly been very vocal in speaking out about the situation and just because we don’t hear her doesn’t mean she isn’t speaking out.
  
  Umm, Marama – if we aren’t hearing you, seems like you’re not being terribly effective when you do “speak out”.
  
  She basically spent the rest of the interview trying to share the blame around – I lost count of the number of times she referred to being part of “a team” and basically tried to throw her colleagues under the bus – and saying oh, people appreciate a minister speaking plainly.
  
  As for solutions? Some airy-fairy stuff about, oh we’re building more houses, and looking to maybe buy a hostel here, an empty building there …
  
  Hopeless.

    @Graham – yes, she may well be hopeless but she has Ms Ardern as her role model.
    And look at how well life has worked out for her.
    Waffle, deflection, ignorance, blind loyalty to socialist/communist mantras and people voted for it in droves.
    You can’t blame Ms Davidson for trying to stick to a winning formula.

Ms Willis directed some very pointed oral questions to the Associate Minister for Housing (Homelessness) (15 April). The Minister was nowhere to be seen but fortunately Ms Woods stepped into the breach. Whew.

I expect there will be many more questions to the Associate Minister for Housing (Homelessness). Witless protection?

One of the reasons house prices went through the roof is that Govt Depts were bidding against 1st home buyers for houses they could then rent out to the idle and indolent!!!!

I believe this dead set useless Minister is still living in a rental with her and her brood.

It’s tokenism at it’s worst! Ardern didn’t need to give the loonie Greens any involvement in this Government! But she can’t imagine how our country would survive without her looking after us so she needs to keep them onside in case she needs them to form a government next time? God forbid!

  Jacinda is thinking ahead – to 2023. Must keep the Greens on board, she may need their help then without too many strings attached. Although as a unionist criticised a breakaway union faction years ago, the Greens would have all the bargaining power of a limp p****.

It astounds me how voters continue to support the most incompetent, inept government in our history. They have made things a hell of a lot worse and have failed to deliver on any of their major policy announcements, with the infrastructure package next in line to be a dud. What the hell is wrong with people? Is it all simply Covid-19 and smiles? Because if it is, we are stuffed as a country.

  The average voting Kiwi, not to be confused with the homeless person and baby factories who generally dont have the energy to vote, have a house that is sky-rocketing in value and financed by a low interest loan; a flash new/near new car with generous repayment terms, a 60 inch TV on interest free hire purchase, the latest mobile phone also on generous repayment plans, and a nice cold beer in their hand. What more could the average voting Kiwi want in the utopia of quantative easing. Life is good…why worry about what a bunch of witless politicians might have to say, think or do!
