Business Summit Not Doomed...Yet

Well, Helen did make a mess of her little pet business conference. Actually mess is quite a subtle wording of it.

Actually she echoed the very actions of a post world war one Europe that excluded Russia and Germany on the basis that they were 'enemies' the result was another world war years later.

Thankfully the United Nations picked up on this mistake and hopefully given time for Helen Clark's incredibly slow intelligence system to digest the words "get over it" will come to the realisation that you should always listen to your enemies.

But despite Helen's attempts to turn the Business Summit into something resembling the Communist Party 'conference' under Stalin’s rule(which Helen no doubt believes was the best rule). I still see a glimmer of hope for the business conference yet.

Although many key business people have been excluded I don't think Helen Clark will be able to shut up the collective words of business that call for a more flexible Tax policy to encourage growth.

The hope comes if she takes these comments into consideration rather than tossing it away as 'right wing lunacy' and instead reverting to her own unique brand.

The less charitable view is that the government was being deliberately misleading. Are we to think Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is a fool or a liar? It seems rather early on in his term of office to be facing that unpleasant choice... More


 
 
Public Housing Futures: Christmas Comes Early For Landlords

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More


Green Party: Petition To Save Oil & Gas Ban

“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More

PSA: MFAT Must Reverse Decision To Remove Te Reo

MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru.
