@greggiles7309 funny how lairbour came out saying if it wasn't for keys leaving the surplus behind that new zealnad would have been financially fucked from get go with covid. An that was after all their rampant spending prior to covid. How do you get a surplus and leave the biggest debt ever at the same time. Sit down clown an go back to school
Went to Alternative monetary policy tools with Adrian Orr during covid, pumped house prices to an extreme in total opposition to Labour's promises. Interestingly, he also had no formal qualification of recognition in finance, which puts him in common with our current finance minister. He literally wouldn't have been able to get a job as an accountant in the real world. Our political system is seriously flawed.
Thank you Hon. Grant Robertson for job well done to get the country thru Covid and the aftermath the WORLD suffered from. Ignore the badly behaved uneducated anti-vax nut jobs. NZ honours and appreciates your adept leadership and dedication sir! Thank you for your service to the country!
The main issue was there was no accountability, no tax changes like capital gains taxes, no sharing of gst with the councils,to much PC,to many contractors and no outcomes
him and Ardern and Hipkins really stuffed up this country big time , we all now living there nightmare and National trying to pickup the pieces what a disaster took them only 6 years to do it too . Roberson and Arden have ran to the hills .
@@LabourPartyFan That queen of woke left NZ in chaos.Time will tell that last Labour government will be the worse in NZ history along with the worse finance minister.
@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj I think the facts speak for themselves and it was the pervious john key national govt that stuffed up the country? When he came into office the national debt was 29b.... when they were voted out the national debt was 117b. That is a fact.... and his idiot theory was that interest rates were low so, it was the best time to borrow.... WRONG, He gave tax cuts to the wealthy and paid for it by raising GST. That is a fact. He also denied for 6 YEARS that New Zealand did not have a housing crisis until they were about to be voted out. That is a fact Failed to spend enough money on just the basic of maintenance for public hospitals, schools, roads and infrastructure. Sounds like they had good monetary policy back then? Fast forward to this government.... Tax cuts to wealthy land lords while offering the police a substandard pay offer. A roading plan which has a 24b hole. They took away the "Auckland petrol tax" good on them. But I have a sneaky suspicion that they will be raising fuel tax across the whole country to fill the 24b hole as the $100 hike in vehicle rego will not cover it. Cut spending to schools so they can not build additional classrooms etc, etc Sounds like good monetary policies?

@@LabourPartyFansure gave away a lot of money to the warehouse group and co where they don’t actually need it, another typical example of how wasteful labour can be, it wasn’t labour who saved the business, it is at the tax payers expense! And still tax payers are paying an increasing amount of tax money to recover for the debt that labour has done in the past 6 years… enough is enough, the gist of labours policy is to redistribute wealth from the ‘rich’ to the ‘poor’, however… you didn’t get that from the rich instead it is the average middle class people who are suffering the most…
Just happy they only stayed 6 years or the damage would have been irreversible.He is NewZealands worse finance minister, so much waste and no real results all those social engineering ,changing names and ideological centralization put NewZealand and WORKING NewZealanders backwards.
Got us through covid by keeping unemployment at a record low of 3.4%, kept businesses afloat, saved 20,000 lives, gave our economy a credit rating of AAA and had the debt to earnings ratio at only 20% of GDP
Insane how short your memory must be if you think he is the worst finance minister lmao Also, the current one has changed more names than any other NZ govt (Over turning both Key and Ardern changes)

He was a low achiever at school with mediocre grades especially in Maths thus only managing a useless Arts degree and unable to gain a degree in Accounting and Finance or any job experience in finance, he was incredibly given the job of Finance Minister which he was GROSSLY INCOMPETENT and unfit as the economy and its books have revealed 6 years on. Father was a thief who stole 120K from the law firm that he was an accountant for and jailed for 2 years. Guess the apple doesnt fall far from the tree
People were being invested on. People makes a country. The biggest asset we have. Germany does this and they always win nobel prizes and flourish so well. NZ shouldn't expect a wealthy economy from second hand investment on NZ people.

PAYE is the noose around workers productivity and hard work, and punitive PAYE on overtime and bonuses. GST is charged on the full amount of the Supermarket recipe, its not on individual items. Migrate to Australia if you have any skills. I am ready to retire in four more years.
yes, I left years ago. Kiwis inside the fishbowl don't get what NZ is, which is a tax haven for foreigners masquerading as an extractive economy owned by oligopolies for its day job. People that work there are no different to other resources being extracted, they're there to be extracted too. The govt provides the environment and protection for this process and always has. There is no free market, every sector is dominated by one or two participants producing a high margin duopoly in nearly every sector. The too small argument is trotted out, but that doesn't seem a problem for others, like say, Ireland. It's one big ripoff for the locals, one big holiday for the foreign rich.
@@apexclaimadjusters5816 Americans can take unlimited funds out of NZ. John Key nearly made NZ a Tax Haven. Ruth Richardson buggered workers productivity with her punitive PAYE taxes. So the Three Horsemen are talking a load of Bull about wages rising. I retire in 4 more years.
@@apexclaimadjusters5816 Aussie is too hot, and I dislike using air conditioning to keep cool. That, and the Aussie accent is very grating. Otherwise I'd leave tomorrow
I would never let my grandchildren go to Otago university while Grant Robertson is on the staff . He was not qualified as finance minister and what would he know about education .

He should not be proud of what they did. Taxing and spending does not solve problems, especially for Labour voters because it is the poor who are paying the most in taxes. Labour acted illogically and wasted money everywhere they could.
Wow, compare this with the Dr Shane Reti interview. This one is a puff piece for Labour and Robertson. The other is an aggressive, unprofessional interrogation
You may be right but Hon Robertson is in opposition, is leaving politics after a 15 year career and this is a reflection on his career. Hon Reti is a current minister implementing health policy changes at this time. The context is very different for these interviews.
@@twinning1944 even so, my point is about the interviewer and not the interviewee. Jack gets all hot under the collar when he doesn't get answers that fit with his world view. Interviews are an exchange of information and not supposed to be an aggressive and badgering confrontation.
What are you on about, grant robertson is leaving politics and isn’t a current minister… if you want jack takes previous interviews of Robertson during his time as minister you’ll find it comparable to the reti intervene. Franklyi didn’t think he went far enough with reti
Another politician that gets to walk away, leaving a mess with no consequences. Off to applause and pats on the back. Off to a high paying job. With plenty of ex politician perks. Cheer Grant
Jack Tame, all Government spending is a debt lien, our taxes pay the debt, its on a 10 year cycle. Anything extra is never used to lower any taxes, any. Luxcon plans to make foreign online gambling legal to tax that activity.

Thanks for your service. The decisions you took as a government kept people safe and in work in the face of a global pandemic that could have killed 10s of thousands of kiwis.
You sir are in ko ko land . Coupled with the evil that is jusinda. They have set us back 50 yrs. In that time their friends the Chinese will take full control . 😮
@@ShirleyZhang-bt4dj how so? NZ didn't suffer the death rate or econ damage the US did. Do peoples' life's matter in this calculation? Or is life cheap in your neighborhood?
Respect. Plus, he seems like a cool guy to hang out with. Hey Grant I'd love to get a hot chocolate with you sometime at the Octagon if you're in to that ☕🤎

Being clearer to people should have been something at the top of your to do list when you were in power, too late now, we can't get the time back, nor do we want to ever!
Refreshing to have an MP answer questions directly & to talk straight. Not just here but also in previous interviews. Same with Chippy. Current govt just talks in riddles, no straight answers. Hang on, actually no answers. Luxon: let me be direct, followed by waffle, waffle, waffle. Same for Willis
Red vs blue back and forth bs used to work until it didn't about 10years ago and no adjustments were made except a scape goating coverup which was a flu rebranded into something useful for them. Now look at the cultural and economic mess that has to been cleaned up
Thank you Jack. A well researched interview from someone on their way to being a 4th estate pillar. Learnt a lot from Grant. As a man in the street I could never fully understand the finer workings of economy and commerce, so for the life of me, I can't understand why much of the comment on here bags Grant for his work. If they know as much as I do then they have a bloody cheek.
tell us about our overseas debt....Have a good look at what Otago owes now...and when this clown leaves.... the children will be paying for his time in govt for years and years and years. thanks for nothing...you should be charged as a traitor...
Pretty easy to look that up... But I think in this wording it's pretty obvious that he didn't agree with it. It was well documented that he didn't agree with it, and Chippy was questioned about this multiple times.
Like NZers will be paying for every govt's stewardship. The "we'll be paying for it for years" is a meaningless argument without context. We pay for it with either under-investment (like we've had for generations), overspending (how much is overspending?), protecting jobs/businesses or not... how do we compare to other countries with similar resources???
National, Act, represent business. Both parties made it clear they were going to repeal policy that is advantageous to workers. IE. Fairpay agreements being one.
