After Monday’s Covid announcement every Minister in this apology for a Government should do the honourable thing and knock on the front door of Government House. They should say to whomsoever opens the door, “I wish to see the Governor-General. I wish to hand in my warrant as I am a complete and utter failure and don’t deserve to hold the Office I have been given.”
First to the door should be Jacinda Ardern. The announcement from this woman at the ‘podium of truth’, revealed someone who has totally lost control of the Covid situation. If what she announced is what’s going on in her head, I fear for the future. There is no plan, no definite goals, just a few phrases and, within those phrases, silly rules which virtually nobody will obey. It’s a week by week strategy of nothing but hope. New Zealand will not survive on hope.
There is not one Minister in this Government who has achieved anything of note. They have all been what can only be described as political disasters. They lack the intellect to make any useful contribution to their portfolio and therefore to this country. It is frankly too much to expect that people with their backgrounds would have any idea how to run a country.
This would be the most hopeless rudderless Government in the seven decades of my lifetime. They have completely lost the plot due to their obsession with implementing a Marxist type agenda which will be their ruination, but unfortunately also the ruination of the country. Like all leftist agendas, those implementing it do it for one reason and one reason only – CONTROL. Nothing else matters. If the country is ruined, it doesn’t matter. What matters is control of the ‘team of five million’.
I think Ardern is in for a number of rude shocks. She’s just had the first. Covid is outside of Auckland. Probably there is no one more surprised than her. The upside is that is she might get a landslide drubbing in two years time if she chooses to stick around.
Her Ministers, including herself, are totally incapable of making any sensible decisions to do with Covid or any other area of Government. Police have gone woke with a Houdini Minister, Health is in a mess and the joint star of the daily ‘Pulpit of Truth’ could pay more attention to the shambles in his own backyard. Come to think of it the Health Minister doesn’t exactly look like he’s full of the joys of spring either. Education is in a similar mess with standards falling across the board and thousands truanting.
The Finance wizard, who goes by the name of Grant Robertson, thinks he knows more about that area than John Key. He says the economy is in better shape than it was pre-Covid. Perhaps that’s why they want to keep it going. Last Friday he claimed with a straight face that elimination was never their strategy.
Housing is also a disaster. If they could build houses as fast as the misinformation that comes out of the Minister’s mouth we’d have an oversupply. Unfortunately, the opposite is the case and set to get worse due to supply chain problems. Industry will pay a heavy price for Immigration Minister Faafoi’s incompetence. Tourism is dependent on a guy who makes it up as he goes along.
Local Government is no more than a tool by which their water agenda can be implemented. Mahuta is ensuring it’s by Maori for Maori. Transport is in the charge of a man who can’t see his name for the trees. Michael Wood latches onto every unsustainably ridiculous idea that comes along while ignoring what urgently needs to be done.
James Shaw, who has the Climate Change Portfolio, is drowning in hypocrisy and the Media Minister just keeps handing out the cash to the Government’s left-wing ‘fiercely independent’ friends, no doubt at the behest of his leader.
Which brings me to Ardern. The worst Prime Minister this country has ever had the misfortune to be saddled with. She is fast becoming a global embarrassment. As the Minister of Child Poverty (Poverdy) she has proven to be incompetent beyond belief. Figures have skyrocketed. In a word – disgraceful. The position she holds deserves better.
So it’s Government House or bust. Bust will be the situation the country finds itself in if they don’t. Winston Churchill wouldn’t have gone within a bulls roar of this herd. Unfortunately, Winston Peters did and gave us all a bum steer.
