RE: TIL the New Zealand Prime Minister just resigned! It happened less than an hour ago.

in #news8 years ago (edited)

Hey @kiwideb just seen your post about John Key, I did one too, I was more on the safe side glad you put your opion.
Had to laugh how he put at the end he would stay on as MP of Helensville till the end of his time because he didn't want to cost them any extra money where was that with the 26 mil waste with the flag and everything else.
A question why can't Prime Ministers & MP's be held responsible for budget blow outs and over spending like a business employee would?

Sort:  

Too right!
I've heard some theories about what the whole flag fiasco was about. One being it was to distract people from the TPPA.

That would sound about right and also the weapons deal that nearly went unnoticed

$26M wasted on getting a new flag ... that's tax-payer money that could have been used to get the homeless off the streets and give them a proper meal!

That was just one of the wastes, wasn't the debt he put NZ in as much as his personal net worth $170 million.
Building houses for the homeless would of been a better use of the money, but they have been building leaky homes and apartment blocks for housing nz which then become abandon after 3 years, that is a waste of money also, then you have more homeless people, NZ needs to look at what they are building with and how, hemp is the best alternative or even shipping containers, only if done right.
