YOU'RE WEEKLY REMINDER OF WHERE YOUR MONEY WENT UNDER THE LAST GOV. ( a few of thousands of examples)

1. Wallaby eradication — $2.7 million to kill 18 wallabies. $153,000 per wallaby and 26,000 labour hours. Cheaper to fly them home business class.

2. Virtual job expos — $835,000. 126 people attended. $6,626 per Zoom attendee.

3. Global health recruitment campaign — $514,000. Result: 3 interviews. $171,000 per interview.

4. Let's Get Wellington Moving — $35m on consultants. Just $250k on actual construction. You read that right.

5. Auckland Light Rail — $229 million. Six years. Not one metre of track. Burning $1.2m/week on consultants at peak.

6. Three Waters — ~$1.2 billion torched on a policy nobody wanted, scrapped before delivering a single pipe. Included $14,500 to write a job description for a CEO who never existed.

7. iReX ferries — $500m+ sunk. Ballooned from $551m to a projected $3 billion+ before cancellation. (NZ First also had fingerprints on the original deal — worth being upfront about.)

8. RAT tests — $531 million sitting in warehouses. Storage at $100,000/day. Approved over a year late.

9. Mongrel Mob meth rehab — $2.75 million. $239k catering. $157k marae hire. $100k hiring a van.

10. Shorter shower campaign — $2.8 million. Printed in 7 languages. To tell you to take shorter showers.

11. Auckland Harbour cycle/walking bridge — $51 million on planning before scrapped. No bridge.

12. Lake Onslow pumped hydro — ~$100 million on feasibility studies. Not a shovel in the ground.

13. Workforce Development Councils — $65 million/year for bodies critics said delivered little tangible value. Disestablished.

14. RNZ/TVNZ merger — $20 million. Abandoned by Labour themselves.

15. Ethnic women in politics research — $842,000. A university grant could've done it for a fraction.

16. "Ulu Cavu Wig Tour" — $73,000 in taxpayer funding for the Arts Minister's husband's tour.

17. Abandoned China immigration office — ~$3 million in rent on an office closed for over a year.

18. Promoting Australian citizenship to Kiwis already in Australia — $10,000. Funding the brain drain with our money.

…and we could keep going.

We should never FORGET Labour. Just a small fraction of their wasteful ways.

@aniobrien They resort to nastiness when they can’t think of anything intelligent to say

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@ZooNealand @theinfinitepooh Part of the reason is that our minimum wage is high and it kicks in at 16. If you have to pay someone in an entry level job a decent wage then you may as well get someone older and more experienced. The supermarkets pay permanent staff quite well these days too.

@ClarksonsFarm1 Keep it classy

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@MarkJHerman You are a giant douche

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@DanielgDan @boydparatene No - it’s my daughter. I have nothing to gain from telling people this info, I’m simply sharing a racist example of what is happening in a NZ tertiary institution.

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@lochiegc @boydparatene Did she have the same old white lady with glasses running her English course? Ask her. My daughter has nothing to gain from telling me this info.

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@f_krissie @JOSH______NZ It did happen and I don’t have proof. My daughter doesn’t want to rock the boat about it for fear of not getting into her course. Believe what you want. I don’t care about likes or attention- I care about fairness and my Country

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@HS_NZL I can’t offer proof. She told me and isn’t a liar. She knows me and knows that by telling me I’ll do something about it. I’ll try to get proof before I go further with it, otherwise it’s the class against the tutor.

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@HS_NZL Why on earth would I just randomly come up with this post. Get a grip

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@benonwine Having a medical pleuridises (directly onto your lung surface) with tetracycline

@roysters23456 @wordsweep299 Are you in Haumoana like me!

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@LordRapihana @paddlesup24 @NixonPunished @RealGangz They were invited to trade and live in NZ. Once Maori were familiar with the customs and advances that the British had, they wanted it, and the protection from their neighbouring tribes that land ownership could offer.

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@richies256 No - it was explained in depth

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@BrynStable @dpfdpf Yep - her ancestors have been here since the mid 1800’s.

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@kathy29983 @hardakeep Haha - loved that reply

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@4evaTrump2028 @BellaForte6 @IrnBoru They’d probably expect her to do karakia every day if she told them that 😂. She’s the only kiwi in the course too

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@CullenKehoe She would probably have to call them kaiako 😅

[WeNZ 🇳🇿 @outragedfortune]

@pgoughy Glad you can see that 😉
