Jacinda Ardern is looking at an easy victory in the upcoming NZ election.


Maybe it is time Australia looked at a female PM.


Marisa Payne from The Libs or Penny Wong from the Labor party. Forget the Nats with Bridget McKenzie(ugh) leading the pack.

Ardern is riding high in the polls – as is the Labour party – on the back of her stewardship of the country’s Covid-19 response. Her strong position has been aided by troubles within the opposition National party, which is heading into September’s election with its third leader in as many months.

Hows her economy going over there?


How's anybody's economy going?

Some better than others

Too true.

Arden will win this election with her eyes closed as Scotty will down here.

Both are as popular as they ever been. Unfortunately Dan the man will struggle to scrape home with 250 deaths in his beloved state.

What a legacy. Liberal voters will not be voting for him next time that is a certainty

Resorting to deflection now to other states.



Still waiting on answers from Dan. “I am accountable” Andrews. This is Victoria and deaths are piling up


You, once again, have missed the point.

Nope read it again. Still deflecting and refusing to discuss dans performance

Says a lot though so all good

So I need to comment on Dan Andrews because you demand I do so.

Time to forget about Dan and Scotty.(they are both responsible for mistakes made)


Time to talk about political ideology.


The Liberal party is a party of free enterprise and profit making. The Labor party is much more for the worker and proper regulations.


Take the aged care sector as an example, The Victorian aged care public sector(run by the Victorian government) has currently got 6 COVID19 cases. The private sector by comparison has over 1900 COVID19 cases. (and many more deaths as a result)

The difference?

One is well regulated, well staffed and well trained and the other is a run for profit system.

FACT.

You are correct about the nursing homes. Private ones are 30x more likely to catch C19. Some of their administration may (hopefully) face criminal charges.
