Grandpa Hager’s Latest Work of Fiction
The denials and corrections are piling up. Nicky Hager’s Dirty Work is a work of fiction and a thin one at that.
Taxpayers Union
Quick Hit: 880,000 Costumes
TPU puts a red price tag on $880k from the Major Events Fund for a World of WearableArt exhibition. Upston sells visitors and Kiwi creativity. Major Events Fund. Minor accountability. Eight hundred and 80 thousand costumes. One line on the invoice.
Hager Should’ve Called His Book ‘A Swing and a Miss’
Hundreds packed Unity for Hager’s Dirty Work. Election-week damp squib. The poll charts still say noise, and the day-after receipts say fiction – plus their best unpaid fundraiser.
Quick Hit: Two Hundred And One Billion
Taxpayers’ Union Bribe-O-Meter puts Opportunity at $201 billion over four years. Another $407m Industry Energy Resilience this week. Hope has an invoice. $201 billion. Still other people’s money.
Quick Hit: Ten Point Eight Million. And The Veto.
Greens still sell KiwiMart at $10.8m a store with the library costing locked. Same week Seymour brings the aisle veto and National leaves ComCom out. Soft communism with a locked drawer. Campaign promise with coalition scissors.
