What about the substantial growth in Child poverty, massive inflation, lack of housing stock growth (kiwibuild has delivered less than 5% of what was promised) etc. Labour may not be layabouts, but they are a group of busy idiots.
- PostOnce 4y agoDoes it not make very little sense to blame inflation on this particular government when every nation is suffering inflation in the wake of a barely-mitigated global pandemic? Does it not follow that when inflation strikes, poverty increases, because the same wages buy less food? And have Labour not acted strongly against the most damaging parts of poverty, with the new insulation and ventilation policies and subsidies, the winter energy payments, and the free school lunches? We can blame Labour for many things, like failing to act quickly enough to alleviate the housing crisis, but to blame them for global inflation seems like tabloid news and not critical thought.
