Bit hard to ban advertising when this government is addicted to it. What would Incognito and all the other PR / Comms people do for a living in wellington? [lprent: Banned permanently for extreme stupidity. It violates site policy about attacking authors, ...
Collins will be a great mayor. Wonderful to build a platform of policies built on leaving the city better for future generations. Hopefully decisions are made on 10-15 year horizons now rather than electoral cycle horizons
Yesterday you were claiming it was a million Palestinians in 1948, now it’s 3/4 of that? And there only around 650,000 Jews to do this pushing in 1948? and there are now 1.7million arabs/ Palestinians living in Israel, so they’ve done an atypically bad job...
It’s not. Every fuel company has a pricing team, those figures are either sent to the store using internal comms and then updated from site, or they are centralised and updated at head office. Arguing that waka kotahi needs twice as many comms people when ...
half a billy is a lot of new money to spend on a stat like crime trending down
How is it that waiting lists were completely under control under the last government and targets were being hit, despite apparently being underfunded. Now it's apparently properly funded and everything is blowing out. Can't really see how you can blame ...
Pointing that out that wage earners are paying more tax on higher brackets while effectively earning in lower brackets is stupid because of a ratio difference of 100%? A remarkably stupid observation from one renowned as an idiot
Typical socialist tax maths. 39 less 7% is 36.2 FYI Which doesn’t make inflation suck less
Thanks to this government, and certain overseas factors, someone on $180k this year will effectively only be on $167.4K by next march, but will still pay tax on $180k someone on 70k will only be earning 65.1k effectively in twelve months but will still be ...
I don’t need “polls”, daily experience and chats with all walks of life reveal the same thing. A city completely unimpressed with labour over its lockdowns and now three waters.
Labour can’t win without auckland and they long ago lost auckland
Taxing the wealthy more so this government can engage in more low value schemes with no outcome in mind, just to increase inflation and hurt the poorest more. It's hard to believe that you can give a government a majority and they fuck the country up this ...
So it’s right to continue with the model then?
What are you talking about?
They had me until rent controls. Even then, an overall good platform that acknowledges the problems low income and middle income New Zealanders now face as a result of a combination of poor fiscal and monetary policy and overseas supply chain pressures.
While not dirty politics in the conventional three channel workflow model, wouldn’t campaigning on being, and promising to being once elected, the most open and transparent government ever then blocking all sorts of parliamentary inquiries count as playing...
Compassionate of you to think that 5,000 extra state houses equates to helping the extra 25,000 families on the wait list.
I’m sure the 40,000 children left in poverty thanks to covid appreciate the covid response. like the 160000 aspiring home owners who haven’t benefited from kiwibuild appreciate the 5,000 extra state houses.
Right here you old misogynistic apologiser interesting that 18 months out from the election the labour turd polisher in chief is trying to draw battle lines, when all experienced Polly watchers in NZ know that covid has left and the minor parties are back....
“The OCR is 90 day or 3 month only” the overnight cash rate, or OCR, is the rate banks use to determine interest due to the reserve bank for the exchange of securities for cash before settlement. It sets the floor at which borrowing occurs between ...
Well, MS asked the question in his post. You can take whatever you like as gospel. Labour caucus utterances seem to be yours, and that’s cool. which in no way makes them relevant to the facts of inflation.
Minimum wage up 25%, inflation up 17% in the same time period. you can call my third point unhinged, which it isn’t. It’s just not palatable by you. And that’s because it is “absolutely refuted” by jacinda adern. But its not refutable, Which kind of proves...
Hiking the minimum wage without increasing productivity, capturing all those earning within 25% more than the minimum wage as well, lifting the cost base. Hard to argue this won’t increase prices artificially promoting labour shortages by being unable to ...

It would appear so. The laughable “statement of fact” from the government that all inflation is imported and not at all caused in part by government policies and actions domestically is devoid of truth
How about the fact that the state housing waitlist is up 500% since 2017, which is the year of the election that Jacinda promised to end homelessness and fix the housing issue?
Which is all hypothetical. And doesn't make anyone feel better about central government encroachment on locally owned assets for no visible benefit but vague promises
The problem with Three waters is that there is no single project of national significance or benefit associated with making the change. It's simply centralisation that has been determined by the labour government to be what it thinks is the best model of ...
Nothing like a bit of good fashioned envy politics. you should take it as a compliment to the current government that these people take them and their policies so seriously. but maybe also wonder why there isn’t a left rich in New Zealand. Shouldn’t be ...
For whatever reason my reply is on the next string.
Oh, I read it. I also have first hand knowledge of what ghost the basement neck beard doesn’t. I also know that taking one data point and extrapolating it to equate one of the best post world war 2 socialist stories that is Singapore to equal china and ...
