A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

And so the true nature of the destruction to this country’s economy at the hands of these incompetent ideological clowns is starting to emerge, with reportedly the Govt going into full panic mode over the revelation that the books are in a $20-$30 billion hole.

How this news could emerge just two months after the Budget is mind-boggling. It highlights the complete ineptitude of this Govt, and how they are totally unqualified to hold any position in any office, let alone the highest offices in the land. We have taken a large step towards bankruptcy.

Who could have seen this coming after the fire-hosing of the economy with free money for the past three years, more than doubling govt debt in record time.

Time for the kids to be sent back to the sandpit!
