I'm as critical of our current government as the next guy (probably more), but it's also fair to say that every previous government in the past few decades has also failed on all these fronts (except COVID vaccine rollout, of course, but there's no reason to think that e.g. National would have done any better there).

I am labour voter myself so have only stated objective truth because and I don't have any interest in relativism.

Me neither, just pointing out that these are basically entrenched systemic issues in NZ at this point - failing at them is nothing new.

Your comment is bordering on fatalism.

It really is not possible to discuss legitimate failures of this labour government without one of you "9 long years" losers showing up. Give it a rest, it's been 4 long years already.

[zeb88]

Couldn't agree more. There is a level of cultism around this prime minister and government that it's bordering on populism.

If you had actually read my comment, you would have seen that I wrote every previous government in the past few decades, and also that I'm also critical of our current government.
