WELLINGTON, NZ – With New Zealand’s economy reeling, the National-led government has got themselves a bargain from IKEA in Dr. Anna Breman, as the new Reserve Bank Governor.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis said local candidates were too expensive, and “going shopping at IKEA made more sense.”
The move has sparked outrage for a foreign hire amid the government’s anti-immigration rhetoric. With inflation stubborn and unemployment nearing 5%.
Migration Replacement Theory expert William McGimpsey questioned why a Swede was chosen over homegrown talent. “They preach local jobs but shop at IKEA for our bank boss.”
National defended Breman’s selection, highlighting her affordability, just like the furniture at IKEA.
At publishing time, Luxon was seen at IKEA again, shopping for a cheaper Finance Minister.
