    You didn't elect anything Rich! Winston gave your losers mates the elections. Labour came a pathetic SECOND!

    Hosking is correct. He isn't supporting the shower Winston gave us. He's lamenting 20 odd years of failure of both national and local government to deliver. Only a cretin like you Rich believes Labour did any good for the country.

    Oh did you read the bit about the 10,000 kids coming out of poverty. Though that was eighteen months ago and they still haven't assessed the benefits from Nationals increase in benefits yet:)

    Imagine my surprise when I read your link and discover that your post is a bald
    faced lie </sarc>

    Hosking's post is about the public service, not about the National Party. Statist types such as yourself always struggle with the distinction, of course.

    LOL. The current government is so gobsmackingly incompetent they have resorted to filibustering their *own* bills!

    https://www.libertas.digital/blog/2017/12/6/labour-not-just-asleep-at-the-wheel-theyre-not-even-in-the-car

    This is incompetence at a level never seen before. These idiots have no idea what they are doing.

    All quite predictable when you get three parties with little to no experience, squabbling like feral cats in a sack.

    Of course he did. Are you saying that the public sector over the last
    9 years was totally uninfluenced by the Ministers of the Crown who set
    their budgets, policies and priorities? Or are you saying that Hosking
    is wrong and that all is right with the public service?

    Who do you think is responsible for ensuring that we have good health
    services, clean water and that markets are effective?

    Hosking clearly expected better performance in these areas, and is now
    looking for someone to do somethiing about them.
    Regarding water, in other reports we hear that despite clear breaches
    of regulations, the responsible government organisation has not made
    any prosecutions. In one of the worst cases that Hosking mentions
    specifically, the Mayor of the area just happens to have been Lawrence
    Yule - whose name you may recognise as now being a National Party MP .
    . .

    Now you may believe that the Health department would have been better
    off without Coleman - they may also believe that - but they would
    still have had to work within budgets set by the government. DO you
    really believe that the problems Hosking raised have nothing to do
    with the government over the last 9 years. The current government has
    only been in office for about 5 weeks - they are clearly not
    responsible for the problems that arose during National's term in
    government . . .

    Cheap slurs about other posters do not substitute for facts, Tony.

    He did not say it was the fault of the National government as you lied in your heading. He is complaining about officials, not necessarily correctly since he is oftyen over the top.

    Only a well brainwashed (in your case I use the word 'brain'very loosely) could
    believe it didn't include the cock-up that was the nine years of marxist muppetry that lead up to National winning the election in 2008. Besides which only YOU believe Labour
    are perfect. The rest of us (along with Hosking) give National a could have done better'on the report card.

    In fact looking at the pathetic showing of Winston's government I wonder how much worse off if we'd just had another nine years of a Labour government.

    Hoskin never once mentions the National Party or government. That
    article criticizes various parts of the 'Public Service'.

    Its starts at the top - but of course personal responsibility means
    nothing to the likes of Coleman, Collins, Bridges, Brownlee, English,
    etc . . .

    You are correct that the blame game starts at the top - but none of
    those you name run the departments concerned. The thrust of that
    article is incompetent public servants. You have tried to turn this
    into an issue of incompetent political masters. That's a fail.

    Thankfully we agree with Hosking and have elected a different
    government . . .

    Who is 'we' Rich? The current government, for the first time, does
    not include the single most popular party. The current Government
    includes an NZF Minister hell bent on threatening beneficiaries with a work-for-the-dole scheme and a Green policy that is quite the opposite
    of this. Having two minor parties in government with opposing
    viewpoints will make interesting politics for as long as it lasts.

    I never mentioned "öffocials", clearly from a language I am not fluent in. But that aside you are simply wrong, as in deliberately trying to attach responsibility where it does not belong.
    Officials have always gone their own way, "Yes Minister" may have been a comedic farce but is based on the real thing both here and in the UK. And you know that!!
    The title you posted, and to remind you here it is "Hosking laments the mess from 9 years of National" is the worst kind of spin, it was a lie and it was a disgraceful attempt to put down people that are much better than you (those that do not adhere blindly to a failed political dogma).
    You lied as you do so often.
    I had hoped that with your precious parties in government you might actually learn that your behaviour has been disgraceful but no, you are incapable of doing anything so honest.

    Hosking clearly expected better performance in these areas, and is now >>looking for someone to do something about them.
    Regarding water, in other reports we hear that despite clear breaches
    of regulations, the responsible government organisation has not made
    any prosecutions. In one of the worst cases that Hosking mentions >>specifically, the Mayor of the area just happens to have been Lawrence >>Yule - whose name you may recognise as now being a National Party MP .
    . .

    Now you may believe that the Health department would have been better
    off without Coleman - they may also believe that - but they would
    still have had to work within budgets set by the government. DO you >>really believe that the problems Hosking raised have nothing to do
    with the government over the last 9 years. The current government has >>only been in office for about 5 weeks - they are clearly not
    responsible for the problems that arose during National's term in >>government . . .
    Meaningless and off topic

    The involvement of Ministers in the results of departments is
    indisputable - but don't let that stop you blindly hiding from the
    failures of the rejected last National government . . .



    Cheap slurs about other posters do not substitute for facts, Tony.
    Indeed, if you were to practice that suggestion you would never post here
    again
    since you slur cheaply anybody and everybody who is not left wing.
    What a patronising old man you are!

    Tony

    Rich why do you persist in telling lies! Nationals 'rejection'is only due to one of the biggest liars in the New Zealand parliament Winston 'baubles'Peters who demonstrated some of the filthiest politics in New Zealand history. Just as
    a reminder
    National not only won the election . but your glorious Labour party came a pathetic second. WinstonFirst couldn't even hold the seat he took off National three years ago and the Greens damn near disappeared from the political scene due to it's acceptance
    of criminals as party members! National needed ONE party in support to make a government. Labour had to take on TWO party's led by people who make your lying
    in this ng look minor.

    Pooh

    In fact looking at the pathetic showing of Winston's government I wonder how
    much worse off if we'd just had another nine years of a Labour government.

    Well that is why we have elections.

    At present this Government is somewhat different to the last one, in more
    ways than one and after nine years takes some getting use to.

    I find it rather damning for Rich that he has chosen to ignore the fact that National has had to rebuild Christchurch twice as well as all the work needed to restore road and rail after the Kaikoura quakes. On top of that they got us through
    international monetary meltdowns that though the first started while Labour was
    government, Labour not only failed to do anything to lessen the blow but actively did things (WFF, Cullen fund,KiwiRail) that made it harder for National. On top of that he
    seems to think , like so many on the loopy left including Winston's government,
    that money for government comes from some mysterious portal buried in the depths of the Beehive rather than the pockets of a few succesful new Zealanders.
