A Man with a Quarterly Plan
Boomerang Tax Cuts, ending free prescriptions, cracking down on gangs - again.
They choose the path where no-one goes
They hold no quarter
They hold no quarter
“The Government I lead is one of action and we are already making meaningful changes that will keep Kiwis safe in their homes, workplaces and communities," said the Prime Minister yesterday, telling us he’d be “making Kiwis safer”
This was part of Luxon’s latest quarterly plan which sounded as if he intends to bring the country back from the brink of armageddon, where the last lot left it, or some nonsense that’s believable to the hard at thinking. More on ZB shortly.
I mean seriously, these goals sound like a recovery plan following some sort of catastrophe:
Restore law and order
Rebuild the economy
Sort out the infrastructure
Improve Public Services.
An ambitious plan that would suggest martial law, massive government intervention in the economy, actually doing something about infrastructure, and a stop to setting fire to the public service.
They won’t do any of that though, the real plan is probably more like this:
Mark Mitchell will look stern and wear an increasingly militaristic uniform. Nicola Willis will strangle the economy with austerity measures and wonder why it’s struggling. Our infrastructure will get worse, and the public service will deteriorate until there has to be a fire sale to National’s mates. Hypothetically.
Jason Walls wasn’t having it though, he yelled out “mate it’s been nine months since the election, forget finally coming up with a plan to make Kiwis safe, you could’ve made a baby by now” then he smirked nauseatingly at his own use of risqué language, causing one of the RNZ reporters to throw up into a potted plant.
