CAN THE ALL BLACKS RESTORE NZ
If the All Blacks win the Rugby World Cup later this year it may just be the impetus to trigger the revival of NZ in general to lead us out of the desert into the promise land or return us to the balmy days when we at or near the top in so many international surveys - from happiness to economic prowess, from education to least corrupt.
I fear we are in a hole that is getting bigger - like that of those potholes in Ward Street, Upper Hutt.
Ardern resigned as PM and left the Labour-Green Government with a major reason perhaps being that she felt she lacked the skilled and professional competen support among her colleagues. Ardern to me needed propping up to be the great leader she showed and was capable of but the problem was, the props were on the earthquake fault line. And since her departure the Government at a cabinet, parliamentary and political levels has only gotten worse. It is virtually in disarray.
So we look to the opposition. Without an iota of a doubt in my mind, there will be a National-ACT government before the end of the year. And do I find that they will be sufficiently engaged at a higher level than what we have now. No.
Maybe the Football Ferns in July and August at the Women's FIFA World Cup will set a platform that will provide a boost to NZ that the All Blacks can finish off come October. Don't hold your breath.
