Add in the 71 other times National pulled the same stunt and that balloons out to about half a billion.
The problem is that National stands for crony capitalism, property speculators, bankers and Farmers. They have ruled for those interests and when they attempt to throw mud, it flies back in their faces.
National can’t achieve much if they are still parroting the same flawed neoliberal mythology to a culture irreversibly changed by Covid.

After the Russian revolution communist parties strengthened in the UK and USA scaring hell out of the wealthy ruling “elite” and so the viscous campaign of push-back began. Communist sympathetic organisations were infiltrated and the witch hunt included public propaganda against the revolution and all it stood for.
