I was reading an article by Steven Joyce at the NZ Herald, that was headlined “Hopelessly marooned on a road to nowhere“. I immediately started humming the Talking Heads song Road to Nowhere. Joyce’s article begins with these two paragraphs:

The die is looking increasingly cast for this Government. In a range of crucial policy areas they have resolutely refused to change course in response to changed circumstances, despite people jumping up and down and telling them they are sailing on to the rocks. Now they are in the process of reaping the consequences of their intransigence. And at this late stage it seems there is precious little they can do about it.

The economy is a case in point. Grant Robertson’s refusal to alter his spending plans, his lack of interest in a more welcoming immigration policy to unstick the labour market, his failure to hold back his colleagues’ tsunami of increasing regulation, and his unwillingness to require discipline on government-mandated wage increases, have all contributed to a glum economic prognosis. He has sat on his hands blithely assuring everyone we are in good shape, and now can only watch as the Reserve Bank does what it must do to rein in runaway inflation.

What did the government do to solve this issue?

Nothing. Instead they have made things worse by passing a law which will allow unions to demand industry-wide national awards, so that a small business in Invercargill has to pay the same as a multinational in Auckland.

We really are on the road to nowhere.

Then I remembered that I had written an article about the Talking Heads Government that is taking us on the road to nowhere.

It all started with Gaurav Sharma attempting his own version of ‘Burning Down the House‘:

With all the shenanigans going on, entrenching Three Waters and their previously undeclared intent to bring in co-governance, coupled with Jacinda Ardern‘s propensity to lie and Grant Robertson’s slippery accounting practices, Labour really are ‘Slippery People‘:

We now live in a country where we’re told ‘Don’t Worry About the Government‘:

Now we have Willie Jackson talking about winding back their excesses with co-governance, giving the impression that he is ‘Making Flippy Floppy‘:

Labour is trying to take it out of campaigning talking points. They don’t want anyone to bring it up next year. Out of sight, out of mind. Once the election has finished and Labour get back in, it will be all on.

Ardern’s lying is starting to be noticed, especially from the Podium of Truth. The song ‘And She Was’, starts with the lines “Hey!, And she was lying in the grass”…

Jacinda Ardern is desperately trying to give the impression that ‘The Lady Don’t Mind’ when she “refutes” the premise of the question in parliament:

One thing is certain: both Ardern and Labour, by their continued masking rules and mandates are showing us that they have ‘No Compassion‘ –

It certainly is obvious now to most voters that this government stopped making sense a long, long time ago:

They are obviously the Talking Heads Government, setting us on a road to nowhere exactly as Steven Joyce wrote. Time to drain the ‘Swamp‘:
