We need a government that addresses need, not greed!

Having policies is what Labour does - see
http://www.labour.org.nz/announced_policies
with more being announced today re transport in Auckland.
Having policies and making sure they are advised to the public and are
understood is a different matter.
Labour have not since Helen Clark resigned made their policies clear to the >>> country, preferring to fire as many leaders as possible as fast as possible
-
it must be a record.
Contrast that with policies ofrom National if you can.
The following articles may also interest you - it seems Phil Twyford
did better with transport construction people than Steven Joyce:
https://thespinoff.co.nz/auckland/05-08-2017/five-signs-the-tide-is-turning-on-housing-and-transport/
and frustration with National's inability to listen to any transport
solutions other than another marginal road come through here:
https://thespinoff.co.nz/auckland/05-08-2017/why-wont-national-fund-the-most-obvious-transport-project-for-auckland/
with Labour announcing light rail to the airport as a policy today.
Labour have promised to increase funding to health - contrast that to
this:
http://www.radionz.co.nz/news/national/336499/southern-dhb-in-a-slow-motion-train-crash
where Colman insists that sacking the Board has worked because the
deficit has been halved!
For most of the policies already announced by Labour there are no
National party equivalent policies . .
Feel free to live with your delusions, you have made it a lifetime habit so >>> far.

Another fact-free post from the rising troll . . .
Think of Kiwibuild - well known, well thought through - all National
can think of doing is further subsidising developers who have sat on
land . . .
You are very fond of calling people trolls when all they are doing is disagreeing with you. A bullying tactic reminiscent of Trump!
Tony
and Helen Clark ;)
