The achievements of the Government’s first 100 days
Tomorrow is 100 days since the new Government was annointed by Winston. They will no doubt be doing a release highlighting all the working groups they have set up. I’ve compiled my own list of some of their achievements in their first 100 days:
- Announced a target for reducing child poverty that would be less than National achieved since 2011
- Killed off the Kermadecs marine sanctuary
- Delayed fishing monitoring which protects Maui’s dolphins
- Jeopardised EU trade deal with move towards a deal with Russia
- Introduced a law to allow party leaders to expel MPs from Parliament
- Refused a law change to allow parents to share paid parental leave
- Appointed fewer women Ministers than under National
- Undermined Stats NZ neutrality
- Upset Australia on Manus Island
- Gossiped about Trump creating global headlines
- Lied over the Speaker’s election
- PM said capitalism was a blatant failure
- Appointed a Minister for Children who is pro smacking
- Appointed a Minister of Defence who wears unauthorised medals, even after being told not to
- A Deputy PM who is suing media for exposing his welfare overpayments
- Police Minister announced then backtracked on recruiting foreign police
- Revenue Minister announced then backtracked on GST on small imports
- Government claimed credit for ISDS exemption in TPP which actually were negotiated by National
- An Acting PM unable to answer questions in House, and who is now hidden from public view
- A Government that had to filibuster their own bills as they have no legislation ready
Just imagine how much more they can achieve in the next 100 days!
