Typical, trash the joint then resign.

"She left her Country for her Country's good??"

That UN job must have come through, or am I just being overly cynical??

Waddaya reckon TA??

Couldn't handle the job, fucked up royally, decided to pull the plug while she's still PM rather than get tossed out on a blue wave.

She's guaranteed a massive National majority in the election, and while I'm not a fan, they'd struggle to do worse.

The only positive is that the truly appalling Grant Robertson won't take the job on. He's a lying, hypocritical sack of shit.

Very good summary here: https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/1310180 ... f-all-that

Thanks for that assessment, it's hard to convince anyone here that she hasn't been called to more important work by god himself or something,
According to Aussie media (other than SKY of course) she's the shining light of how to 'do' the great Reset and save the planet and sprinkle prosperity and happiness on all of her people and why can't we have someone as good as that to 'run' our Country. Perish the bloody thought, we've got one now!
Albo is doing his best to send us broke and ensure we get blackouts all next winter.

I think he's been using Cindy's operating manual!

But that's our problem, I'll leave you to sort out yours. good luck with it.

Thanks for that Stuff link too, hard to find anything here that doesn't 'deify' her.

Seems she was extremely popular everywhere except in the country she was in charge of.

She doesn't begin to compare to the lunacy of Trump though, does she?

Not even remotely.

No!

She wasn't any kind of loony, she was just clueless.

Great at showing empathy, absolutely worthless at showing brains or courage. She cried about house price increases under National, when they rose by 40% in five years, then said not a word as Labour let them increase by 80% in her first 5 years. The rich have been enriched by 6 years of Labour government under her watch, while the poor have been impoverished.

She sold herself as a champion of the poor and was going to solve child poverty, yet it hasn't improved at all.

The worst joke was they were going to fix the housing crisis by building 100,000 social houses in 4 years.

They managed 400.

If you want a good look at the level of cluelessness of Labour, and the social damage they've caused, check this out: https://www.tvnz.co.nz/shows/sunday/clips/golden-mile

Wrong time zone, won't play here. Damn. I thought it might give a clue on Albo's next move. He seems to be channelling her.

Bugger!

It's a beautiful expose of the housing crisis and goes like this:

Families can't find anywhere to live. Government pays $1M a day to house them in motels, but of course, it needs to be overseen. Clever Maori agencies set up agencies to manage the operations in various cities. They skim off the cream and most of the milk, leaving the families living in maggot and cockroach-infested scumholes where complaints are likely to be met with mum getting raped.

Just standard poor people shit that nobody should be concerned about.
