3 and a bit weeks to come up with this amazing plan to give $50 to very few, starting 7th April.

I truly do not know why we are paying them & do not think we fully comprehend how lucky we were to have Jacinda Ardern in charge when Covid hit.

Who will be eligible to get an extra $50 a week as part of the fuel crisis package? About 143,000 households would start seeing the full benefit in their bank accounts next month.

So workers without families don’t also need to get to and from work Nicola?

Make it make sense, your “concepts of a plan” supports so few, considering the vast implications of the current crisis.

“We can’t reduce the fuel tax, that would mean some people will get the discount when they don’t need it”

"We have to be careful not to raise an expectation that we will blunt all of the pain"

WHY

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE CAREFUL NOT TO DO THAT

ISN'T BLUNTING THE PAIN YOUR JOB AS GOVERNMENT

Phew. That was close. Good thing we had that spare $70mill not being used on public services, aye? #nzpol

My osteopath emailed this morning to say they’re cancelling a planned price increase because of the rising cost of living.

They’ve now done more to help the situation than the government has. #nzpol
