She lied to New Zealand is the bottom line - she didn't even deliver one percent of the promised homes. And they rewarded her by returning her to office with an increased majority.

Can you name one politician of any flavour worldwide who has delivered on 100% of their promises? For that matter any human? It simply isn't possible, unless you make 0 promises...

Her promise was enormous, and her total failure to deliver that promise (about 0.3% of the total promised houses were actually built) constitutes a big, fat lie in my book. She lied to the most vulnerable people in New Zealand society about what she was going to do.

But it's okay because she's somehow like-able and people like Michael want to let her off for that reason.

She didn't specify the time period for the building project.

Strategically done to be a promise that one could drive truck through and not 'technically' break.  Shameless really, like most politicians.

And yet to some, not delivering 100,000 in the first year 2019 is somehow a lie.

It was based upon private ownership for low income households.
Duboius, but reliant upon private property developers, so not a snowflakes chance.
Back to the drawing board, which the electorate actually understood: yet they still voted for Labour.
