Fuck the homeless
Those compassionate conservatives of the National Party have a message for the increasing number of homeless who occupy our Brighter Future.
useless nats
Stay on the treadmill suckers!
That is the Nats’ advice to aspiring Auckland house buyers.
Treasury predictions – not good
Brian Fallow in The Herald summarises the take-home messages from the latest Treasury report. National have us on track to disaster.
Routine incompetence
Is this the least competent NZ government ever?
Surplus sunk
The Nats are going to miss the only target they ever cared about hitting – the mythical surplus. Seven wasted years and counting…
Nats useless on economy
The economy is a mess, the Nats have no ideas, and their current policies (e.g. hypothetical tax cuts) are getting laughed out of town. National is useless on the economy, and the sooner we the people wake up to this fact, the better off we will be.
NRT: 2,000 new homes? Yeah, right
