Sabine 2.1.1.3.1.1
Well see i don t think it is factually incorrect.
Both increased rates, to some extend. Both have not done enough. The labour party has campaigned on not doing anything else for beneficiaries and got voted in on this promise among others – those dear cross over fiscal conservatives votes came in handy winning an all out majority..
So yes, in my personal opinion, they are both the same when it comes to increasing the benefits of all beneficiaries to such an extend that it would be at the very lest 480.00 per week (covid relieve for full timer after tax). Missing in action and hiding behind meaningless feel good rethoric.
Our economy s swooping upwards - but the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic continues to loom large
Our economy s swooping upwards - but the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic continues to loom large 29 January 2021
Treasury s today released its interim Financial Statements for the year to November - the latest stocktake of the Government s books.
It shows a 4.3 billion dollar deficit - almost two billion better than forecast in December s Half-year Economic and Fiscal Update.
Net core crown debt is at 30.9 percent of GDP.

In May, Stuff published an explanatory feature on the historic Covid-19 Budget, announced by Finance Minster Grant Robertson. The feature included this quick guide to a Budget deficit.
New Zealand has relatively soft landing from the pandemic, according to the latest Crown accounts. The accounts, which take in the five months ending on 30 November 2020 still show an OBEGAL deficit of $4.3 billion, but that’s a whole $1.9b better than the deficit forecast in Treasury s most recent set of forecasts, the Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update, or HYEFU. Those forecasts were also finished on November 30, 2020, meaning that by the time they were published in December, they were already billions of dollars off target. However, this could change as the year goes on and expenses ramp up.

OPINION:
OMC s name was meant to be ironic. Everyone knew Ōtara had no millionaires, let alone enough for a club. November s $1.01 million sale of 1 Tate Place has predictably been labelled how bizarre . Yet the price paid for the 95 square metre, one-bathroom, three-bedroom, weatherboard house on less than a fifth of an acre was not the first in Ōtara above $1m and most certainly will not be the last.
Nevertheless, Ōtara may remain millionaire-free, with only around a third of houses in the Panmure-Ōtāhuhu electorate, of which it is part, being owner-occupied. The electorate s median household income is in the $50,000 to $70,000 range.
