I know a number of people who aren't wealthy, worked hard, paid their mortgate off and through no fault of their own are now in possession of 1.5m and up homes, staring down the barrel of retirement. And if this tax goes ahead it will rob them of $15k+ of ...
This is all bullshit. The wealth tax is an inefficient response to Jacinda cravenly ruling out the Capital Gains Tax at the behest of NZ1. Which gives lie to the claim the greens don't care about power. they were in government when this happened and will ...
Another banger from draco records. wait... clanger. Define rich Draco.
If I read that correctly then, not just wealthy individuals but healthy companies as well. good fucking luck getting business to go along with paying 1% on their assets regardless of profit or loss.
You've quoted a monetary policy conspiracy site. Martin wolf is a journalist, learned as such, but you yourself say no one should trust any mainstream media publication as they hold too much power. FT is fucking mainstream. What the governor of the bank of...
starting an article with someone who has more knowledge about the issue than your self with "Having an economics degree is pretty much proof that your wrong.." and then ending it with "Attacking the messenger is typical of people who are scared that their ...
I have an economics degree. I studied MMT. So I studied how money is created in an economy and the value it holds. so I know how ghastly the effect of just printing money because you happen to be the temporary owner of the printing machine makes no sense. ...
This broken record again? many people smarter than you draco don’t subscribe and will not participate in such a stupid scam on economically illiterate people. there is no point asking you to shut up man, but please, shut up man
You won’t have electronic versions of paper invoices? And if they don’t acquiesce you won’t pay? this is what’s causes global catastrophes. Small, punitive actions based on selfish belief multiplied by millions. climate destroyer
Sweden daily death rate is below 10, well below what other european lockdown countries are currently experiencing. France recorded 78 yesterday. Spain 90. Sweden approached covid in the right manner. carefully and withouth panicking into a lockdown. it's ...
Gosmans rebuttal to Advantages talking points are fair and reasonable and should give pause for thought before simply voting labour just because they aren't national
2 points right for each of the parties and this election is wide open. Labour need to offer us more than promises. they need to offer the electorate responsibility for what they promise in order for us to believe and vote for them.
It's not worst case, but it's nothing to be proud of. It shows Labour squandered the gains made since the GFC before covid even begun to be an imposition. Labour haven't delivered on any major policy promise made in 2017, and now they want NZ to vote them ...
Thank you Ad. I do realise that not all countries in Arabia are the same. Al Jazerra, the qatari state owned broadcaster and the Iranian Islamic Republic News Agency, mouthpiece for the Mullahs in Iran have signed cooperation agreements. The Qatari sheik ...
you can't really trust Al Jazeera on anything. the mouthpiece for the failed state of Iran would say anything to create tension between Russia and the USA.
lol. modern timbers.
I don't run to your timetable. my weekends are dedicated to managing small children while trying to get extra income in. couldn't care less about your outrage about my timing.
There is a difference of opinion as to what constitutes shovel ready here. Focusing solely on education and business, plenty of builders could have been used to spend 12m fixing up public schools around tarankai and provided help to far more worthy and far...
@roberguyton While impossible to prove now, it would be fascinating to see the oia email audit regarding James Shaw’s near college age kids and this school. [My understanding is that Shaw has said he has no personal connections with the school. If you have...
That’s a great point Robert. Did other schools know it was available instantly? incognito, it doesn’t align with funding for private schools, but aligns with green policy on developing future green leaders. Could you please now tell me which requires more ...
What amuses me the most about this is how James Shaw’s decision is painted as some hands-tied, gun to his head choose about “shovel ready projects” that need to have money spent on them. How it’s not hypocritical. But rather quite saintly given the ...
the only thing shovel ready about this is James Shaw's political grave. Which is a shame, as i thought he was one of the better politicians in parliament
now that partner will most likely be Marama and Chloe. which may be the blessing the left need
Your passion for lost causes is admirable.
https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12360346 So it was wrong. James Shaw himself admits and the Green Party leadership has called a meeting over it. how many commenters here were prepared to die in the ditch to defend the Green ...
I understand it. it's an economic issue called scarcity. Group A is 10,500 children that have a scarcity of food and go to school hungry, decreasing their learning potential. Group B is 120 children most likely don't go to school hungry, but need 130 new ...
So this money was always earmarked to build safe, warm, dry buildings for the purposes of education to children who already live in safe, warm dry homes and whose parents support green policies. even though government policy is to limit funding of any kind...
So it was always earmarked for spending on private schools for the 1%? completely against all government policies on funding private schools? you can not like teacher aides, but it's pretty callous to say that money couldn't be spent on feeding hungry kids...
Small stuff up? how many teacher aides for low decile high needs children would $11.7 million provide? How many children in low decile schools would receive free lunches to maximise their learning potential for $11.7 million ? 10,500 using the governments ...
David Farrar isn’t wrong. The handling chain of communication required to cast a postal vote and have it counted is completely at odds with security. labour must really be desperate to resolve this election quickly to resort to have its candidates resort ...
Splitting hairs weka. level 3 protests aren’t that different from level 2 protests. Except that the BLM protests far exceeded the cap of 100 and it’s hard to see destiny rallying more than 100
