It obviously wasn’t for causing the most racial division by a PM or any of these:

The Day Jacinda resigned, news was pushed aside of food price inflation data released showing the highest rate of increase in more than 30 years.
Sixty-four percent of Kiwis, across all ages, believe New Zealanders are more divided than ever.

Violent crime is up 30 percent. Retail crime is up 40 percent.
Gang memberships are up over 60 percent and in five of our police districts we have more gang members than we now have police officers.

Number of attacks on police has almost doubled in last 2 years.
3,500 families live in motels paid by the tax payer, and over 400 families live in cars.

Number of Kiwis living in cars has more than quadrupled since 2017.

Gross debt figure is now $722.62 Billion, up 47% from 5 years ago.
Under Jacinda, tax take in 2017 was $69 billion, now it is $107 billion, an increase of $38 billion in tax every year = over $100 million in extra tax every single day! That’s $17,500 in extra tax per household each year.

Average weekly rent in 2017: $400, in 2023 up 50% to $600.
37,000 more kids are in benefit dependant homes than when Labour’s government took power 5 years ago.

Stats NZ data showed a deficit of $10.5 billion between export earnings and import costs for the year ended June, the highest annual deficit since current records began in 1960.

Ram-raids on retailers have soared under Labour, with a more than 500 per cent increase within the first six months of 2022 compared to the same period in 2018.

In a multi nation survey involving 12000 people, NZ is now ranked 51st out of 52 countries for best place to live, no.52 was Kuwait.
This was a Government elected to make housing affordable, help those less well off, reduce child poverty, and give us a kinder, more united society.  On every front, it could not have failed more profoundly.

316 foreign entertainers, including 64 DJs, were fast-tracked through MIQ in 2021.

Taxpayers have spent $1.2 billion on MIQ – $660 for every household in the country.

Labour has taken away all healthcare targets. Every single healthcare metric has gone backwards in the last five years, even though Labour has increased healthcare spending by 68%.

Doctor GP waiting times are now 5th to bottom of OECD countries (38 countries). Access to GP’s is the first thing to go in a failing health system.

Patients waiting for specialists for over a year has gone up 17 fold since 2019.

Emergency Department wait times are now the worst in at least a decade, with more than one in five people waiting at least six hours for treatment.

Ramping hours (Ambulances sitting outside ER waiting to get patients in) went from 3000 hours per in 2019 quarter to 9756 hours per quarter in 2023.

Burglaries crime stats:
49% were under 18 years old, and 51% of those did not face court action. 112 between 0-17 arrested received a family group conference – that’s it.
Most were just formal or informal warnings. 94 didn’t receive any consequence whatsoever.

25% drop in prisoners, just ‘let out’ doing community sentences, while there has been an increase in offending against prisoner officers.

For more than three decades, the Swiss Institute for Management and Development (IMD) has compiled annual rankings of competitiveness for 63 of the world’s most important countries. Back in 2017 when Labour took power, New Zealand ranked #16 – ahead of Australia at #21. Five years on, New Zealand has fallen to #31, while Australia is now ranked #19.

Over the past few years, we have plunged in economic performance, falling from 22nd to 47th place.
Government efficiency has also deteriorated markedly from 7th to 17th place.

Consumer confidence in New Zealand now stands at the lowest level since Westpac’s Consumer Confidence survey began in 1988.
And, perhaps most damningly, for the first time, a majority has a negative 5-year outlook on the economy.

After 6 years of a Labour government, emissions have increased and the importing and burning of coal has more than doubled – all after Jacinda declared climate change is her ‘Nuclear free moment’.

Govt car fleet grown 16% for past 3 years and 1000 of them are petrol or Diesel, their stated ambition on being EV by 2025 is a joke.

Public sector managers have been growing at nearly twice the rate of frontline workers since the current Government came to power.

More than 100,000 students were chronically absent from school.
70% of NZ businesses have no confidence in this government to steer them through the economic down turn.

2023: 19,000 nurses have left the profession in the last 5 years under this Labour government. In 2017 it was under 3000 leaving compared to 5000 leaving in last year – a 60% increase in nurses leaving.

80,000 public submissions opposing Three Waters were not only ignored by Labour, they then tried to sneak entrenchment through.

In December 2022, NZ 13-year-olds recorded their worst-ever score in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study.”
