Surely someone should ponder on how we built loads of infra and improved quality of life massively while reducing govt debt and holding private debt low through the mid 20th century? Then maybe ponder on how we paid for 'growth' and govt debt reduction from the 1980s onward.

Nice. Check out Kerre Woodham’s kind words about me and my work as her local councillor - and for reminding people about all the great services and community assets council provides. Yes it’s a massive job but it’s a rewarding one, especially if you’re willing to put the work in.

Today, supported by the PM, Amazon Web Services NZ boss Manuel Bohnet made one of the clumsiest and most embarrassing attempts in a long time to spin good news from a fiasco. At @NewsroomNZ, I report the reality behind the '$7.5b investment' in the cloud. newsroom.co.nz/2025/09/02/ama…

There are many reasons to be sad about the loss of so much media culture and competence lately but one of the reasons is that there is not one single article about this headlined "BELL ENDS" rnz.co.nz/news/political…

@NZNationalParty And, so again, enough with the opportunistic lying already. Here's a 'snap back to reality' (you might remember the song).

@NZNationalParty Only two OECD countries spent more during COVID? Really? It's bad enough quoting from that woefully out of date IMF report from 2021 - but going full blast misinformation on top of that stinks.

I've reviewed the new Treasury Long Term Insights Briefing. Like shoulder pads & telethons, the Treasury thinks the 80s are back in style for fiscal policy. I'm not sure - let's actively shape our future economy, rather than passively watch it shape us. craigrenney.substack.com/p/shoulder-pad…

As an addendum here's the deficit spend of oecd countries from 2020 to 2022. See how the USA is up near the top of the graph and the IMF one? Where's NZ? Indeed.

The IMF produced a report in 2021 analysing what budget *commitments* OECD Govts had annnounced in relation to Covid. Here's the key things they included from NZ budgets. A few things to note here... [2/n]

Here's the gotcha chart that Treasury have placed at the heart of their ideological rant about the need for Govt know it's place and generally stand back and let, errrm, RBNZ handle things during the next crisis! Let's look at what the IMF were reporting on here... [1/n]

The double-down on stupid recession of 2024/25 is clearly visible in the companies data. Also clear from the latest data that we remain at elevated levels of stress.

@henrycooke A lot of margin for political disagreement as well despite talk of bipartisanship over infra… feels like only the preliminary case has been made on all this, so far. The political capital yet to be spent.

@henrycooke Definitely, and already the Govt backed off tolling the Tararua highway within months for this. But that was already near completion. For new roads, they’ll have to work at winning the argument. Same with the RUCs. A lot of concerns to get through - privatisation and privacy etc.

@henrycooke That’s the point, it appears. Being the RUC system can integrate with tolls and time-of-use charging and appear in your inbox like a power bill. At least that’s how it was described today. More tolling certainly the direction of travel.
