We do so need almost a sub-forum for such things, but this will have to do.
Proven-to-be-false, empty-headed and vacuous predictions are scattered all over the PT Forums. Mostly to do with interest rates, boom and bust cycles, growth / stagnation in certain localities and house prices. General health / malaise for the NZ economy comes after them.
One of the hardest to prove / disprove and easiest to be forgotten (and don't the enunciators know that!) is the proverbial 'political promise.'
Here's one from today.

bring $82m into the Marlborough-Kaikoura region by 2027
Oh? From where?
creating up to 400 jobs.
How will that be verified, in the days / weeks / months / years ahead?
It won't, of course.
And don't the W'gton woodenheads know that!
Anyone heard of Ashburton? Ashburton's 500 job vacancies will cost local economy $16m this year
I know! Let's re-locate Ashburton to the Kaikoura coast. Now! There's a great political idea.
It's all about creating expectations. None of which are ever likely to happen.
