Welfare rolls up again
The latest welfare stats show:
353,904 people of working age on a benefit
This is 22% higher than in Dec 2017
Those on a benefit for more than 12 months up 26% to 257,865
Maori on welfare up 26%
Pacific Peoples on welfare up 35%
Numbers on job seeker who are work ready up 51%!
Numbers on job seeker for more than 12 months up 49%
Maori on job seeker up 41%
Pacific Peoples on job seeker up 67%
What is most amazing about all this, is that almost without exception every single shop I go into to, had an ad up pleading for staff.

bryce again It was noteworthy that in his first speech, Hipkins failed to use the moniker of “Aotearoa”, referring instead only to “New Zealand” about a dozen times. It seemed deliberateIt’s likely that Labour’s market research is telling them that the Government is being negatively associated with social engineering and “woke politics” relating to gender and ethnicity agendas. Working-class voters in particular are probably less enamoured with such middle-class liberalism. And the term “Aotearoa” has possibly become something of a signifier for what the public sees as Labour’s “woke excesses”.
There’s plenty of survey evidence to back this up. Whenever the public is asked about the use of “Aotearoa” or changing the country’s name, the vast majority are opposed. There’s probably a suspicion that liberal elites are pushing through such language changes without any public debate.
“Whether the implementation of Three Waters is parked or Hipkins strips it back to its original purpose of fixing degraded rivers and beaches and dodgy town water supplies, it will involve tough conversations with Labour’s powerful Māori caucus about co-governance that Ardern was unwilling to have.”
She argues Three Waters “has ripped open a fault line on race relations that polarises an already divided electorate”
former Labour leader David Cunliffe has come out to say: “Expect him to clear the decks of electoral liabilities, fast. Three Waters will be off the table. Likely also, speed limit reductions and the TVNZ/RNZ merger.”
Symbolically such U-turns could be a big deal. Chris Trotter writes on this today: “On the vexed questions of co-governance, decolonisation and indigenisation, the new prime minister need not even repudiate the Māori caucus’s revolutionary ambitions, merely state the obvious truth that they have so far failed to convince their fellow citizens that such radical constitutional changes are either necessary or desirable.Hooton has his own conclusion today about Labour’s chances of winning re-election:
“If;
- any recession is modest or avoided,
- unemployment stays low,
- inflation falls back towards the mandated 1-3 per cent band
- the All Blacks thrash France at the World Cup opener in Paris on September 8,
then Labour should scrape home for a third term.
If any of those go wrong, Mr Hipkins is toast.”

prebble on premium
The most reliable predictor of election results is the right way/wrong way poll. For around 18 months the polls indicate most of us think the country is going the wrong way.
Hipkins can only win an election if he can produce a new agenda to take us in a new direction.
He has no mandate for a new direction.
He can only get a new mandate from an election.
I do not know if Hipkins can win a snap election. I know if he waits until October Labour will be swept away.

Anything he does will either entrench the bad policies of Ardern or be telling us Ardern was wrong. What a cluster fuck Ardern has left. She's the ultimate loser.

Same goes for Luxon. They only policy he announced was canned before Christmas. Don't get me wrong, I can't stand Labour, but National aren't leading, they are waiting for Labour to loose. National haven't put up a vision, a direction or anything. Currently the only statement I'm aware of is that they will repeal three waters. But haven't said what they would replace it with... ACT appear to be the only party that is leading, with actual ideas, policies and a fully costed budget. Noting that typically in NZ 3 parties are needed to form a govt... |
