By "Hardworking" Catherine means "pushing more laws through under urgency than any NZ government ever before with no/minimal chance for public input oversight". But, hey, they and their big corporate donors are sorted, they're OK... Dodgy, undemocratic shit.
Does he mean National has built HALF the classrooms Labour did, or National will only spend HALF as much on classrooms as Labour, leaving them cold, leaking and not fit for purpose / harmful to ākonga?!

Does the Prime Minister stand by the actions of his ministers? Oh. Right...
Mark Mitchel says there is "nothing stopping FENZ from getting (their) own helicopter"?! Is this guy THAT out of touch?! FENZ appliances BREAK DOWN on a regular basis. There is WEEKLY FIREFIGHTER STRIKE ACTION driven by underfunding & unsafe work conditions?! But, sure, "hAvE a hELicHoPpEr"!
Socialise the residents' costs, Privatize the commercial landlords' profits...
"Conservative" & "Libertarian" MPs wasting thousands & thousands of other peoples' tax dollars day after day. Grift, misappropriation, wealth transfer, corporate welfare. But it's beneficiaries struggling to feed & house their families that are "bludgers" "welfare queens" & "in the wrong"?! GTFO!
Stuff's "new"(I thought they had tried and scrapped "Neighbourly"?) Neighbourly News COMPLETELY IGNORES Hawke's Bay!? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...
