absolutely incredible policy, & if any are worth being a bottom line for coalition negotiations this would be one hope to see the Greens once again leading the discourse this week because this would almost immediately drive positive change in NZ for a generation www.greens.org.nz/greens_annou...

When you hear Luxon crowing about Treasury forecasts of adding 221,000 jobs over the next four years, know that (a) it's a pathetic level of ambition, and (b) it's highly unlikely to happen without significant changes in policy.

It's also directly targeted at misogynists. It's no accident he wants to reduce spending to 2017 levels and everything to 2017. Much like Winston, he's trying to eradicate the years he spent in Opposition. Except you can't make it 2017 and you win again. The world has changed.

Seymour promises a worse life for anyone who's disabled, further cuts to social services and the material parts of civic life, and will be praised for doing this in search of making the spreadsheet happy.

What is it called when every single economic indicator is worse than 3 years ago? Failmaxxing ? Look what he said before the last election - and why would anyone now believe his growth promises this time? #nzpol
Luxon before the last election : 

But he said the country had gone backward under the Labour government and it needed to "get its mojo back." 
We want to be a government that's going to turn it around and get some ambition and some aspiration and some positivity and optimism in the country going forwardiẠạ

A neat way to keep youth unemployment down. You're not unemployed if you have to stay at school for the whole year. It's not about training, skills, apprenticeships, or an education system that meets the needs of students. It's all about marginal juking numbers to make it look like success.

This govt is saying "Stay in school kids" but also "you're not getting any help into work or access to welfare until you're over 20 so good luck with that" and "oh there's also no jobs"
