    Personally, I think the productivity task force is a waste of time and money. The simple fact is that Auz has more shit to sell than we do. Until we overcome that stark fact, nothing much will change.

      But TS, it must change. Natact has made it a platform for years and blamed the left for the problem. Now having highlighted the problem – again, they must do something effective or loose credibility and someone might notice!

      Australia doesn’t have hundreds of thousands of welfare beneficiaries and career criminals whose expectation of entitlement is that everyone else has to work and pay exorbitant taxes in order to support their lifestyle choices.

      New Zealand does.

      Raising productivity is a simple proposition; we need to remove the expectation of entitlement amongst the indolent and disestablish the welfare state. The Labour electorate must start to produce more than it consumes and desist from criminality. It’s that simple.

        Borisk, no. By the equivalent definition that you’re using for NZ, Australia has millions of them.

        I don’t think you go far enough.

        We should decriminalise slavery, import some free workforce and drive down wages and raise productivity even quicker.

          I wouldn’t go that far but we do need some strategies to reeducate the Labour electorate and insulate decent society from their depredations.

          -The welfare state needs to be dismantled. Taking from the overburdened in order to give to the undeserving is 100 years of failed socialism.

          -An end to the universal franchise. Only those who contribute to society should have a voice in how society is governed. No-one convicted of a crime or receiving a benefit should be entitled to vote.

          -Introduction of corporal punishment. Wet-bus ticket slaps on the wrist for heinous violent crime was the failed approach of the Clark regime. Corporal punishment for serious offences is required to minimise the recidivism rate of violent Labour electorate offenders.

          -Repatriation of undesirables. For nine long years under the Clark regime, immigration was used as another mechanism for social engineering. The illiterate, the diseased and the unskilled of the third world were given preferential immigration status at the expense of desirable immigrants from the first world. All of these “visa for a Labour vote” beneficiaries and criminals should have their visa statuses revoked and should be repatriated to their countries of origin.

            Ah, the fascist solution! Did you used to be a BNP member before you migrated here Borisk?

            Go back to wherever you crawled out from.

            Oh, and I know it’s the wrong thread, but take Winston with you.

            “The illiterate, the diseased and the unskilled of the third world were given preferential immigration status at the expense of desirable immigrants from the first world.”

            Actually it seemed to be more like getting qualified immigrants rather than the trash of blighty that idiots like Peter Brown wanted.

              Read it and weep;

              http://www.winz.govt.nz/about-work-and-income/contact-us/language-lines/index.html

              There are more than 80 full-time WINZ staff dedicated to the mammoth task of distributing welfare to the tens of thousands of Clark-regime immigrants who cannot communicate in English and have no salable skills.

              Note the languages are all third-world languages. Note the absence of languages spoken in the first world. Where is German, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, Dutch?

              Decent Kiwis have spent the last decade attempting to cope with crippling taxation that was flushed down the welfare toilet. Now those same decent Kiwis are losing their jobs and have to compete for welfare with those who were enticed here merely to advance the Clarkist dream of creating a peasant-worker collective in New Zealand.

            Like all those dirty refugees which per head of population Australia takes in more than us.

        I agree – JK and the rest of his ilk need those millions taken off them.

    Borisk
    Let me guess who gets to decide who is undesirable,illiterate, diseased and unskilled, who is overburdened and undeserving, what is decent and contributing, what is a benefit and a regime, what is desirable.

    I tell you, Borisk. I’m on for this if I get to decide. And amongst the first for illiteracy will be…….

    Total beneficiaries in Australia 1.9 million (June 2008)
    population: 19 million
    % of population on a benefit 10%

    Total beneficiaries in New Zealand: 258,317 (June 2008)
    population: 4.6 million
    % of population on a benefit 18%

    However, our numbers have been declining, while Australias have been increasing over the same 6 year period.

      Thanks J. Couldn’t be arsed digging out numbers for people whose argument isn’t based in reason anyhow, but you’ve gone above and beyond.

      You might want to re-check your figures, as these ones don’t add up – 258,317 looks more like 6% of 4,600,000 than 18%.

      • Jasper 8.2.1
        23 July 2009 at 6:57 pm

        Math was never my strong point.

        In any case, seems like Australias got far higher beneficiary numbers than NZ

    Can I take a straw poll, my fellow ‘decent kiwis’.

    Having (as in, there is a gun to your head, if need be) to choose among someone who has had a rough time as of late and is now on a benefit, a petty criminal who may or may not come clean this time, a genuine refugee who is HIV+, or a fascist git, who would you rather deport?

    • Jasper 9.1
      23 July 2009 at 4:53 pm

      Id deport the refugee with HIV to be honest… far more dangerous to the community in the long term. HIV requires you to tell the sexual partner. People dont and complacency is rife amongst condom use.

      Petty criminal – may or may not change their ways. Ambiguous question there.

      Fascit Git – Are generally loudmouthed, and unless they get media traction a la McSnicker, no one listens to them – except the poor folk on NatRad.

      BTW: Whats the dealio with the /’ that keeps coming up everytime theres an apostrophe?

      • Daveski 9.1.1
        23 July 2009 at 6:56 pm

        The apostrophe can do strange things to databases and really bad things if people want to try and use some nasty SQL to blat your db.

        The backslash deals with the apostrophe in a safe … I’m assuming this only happens when someone forgets the anti-spam word and LP has put a nice function in their to tell you to copy your post so you don’t lose it.

        Like this 🙂

      Seein’ as how it’s a hypothetical, I’d choose the bullet. 🙂

      In a life boat scenario with the same players, I’d put it to the vote, and vote for the f8scist.

    • Spectator 9.3
      23 July 2009 at 6:40 pm

      I’d deport the fascist git, s/he would be the one most likely to malfunction and start murdering people.

    Can I take a straw poll, my fellow ‘decent kiwis’.

    Sorry, you don’t qualify. The Labour electorate is variously; the beneficiaries, the criminals, the unskilled immigrants; those prepared to mortgage New Zealand’s national interest in order to promote the interests of international socialism. Universally; those that take what decent Kiwis make

    ..or a fascist git, who would you rather deport?

    “Facist” is the term that the anti-Kiwi hate parties of the ultra-Left, with their masturbatory totalitarian dreams for New Zealand society, use to describe proponents of liberal democracy.

      I consider myself to be incredibly far to the left and I believe in private property, a free market, democracy, and that human kind needn’t have any government.

      Weird, I thought it referred to people who actually espouse facs*st ideas. Like yourself.

      Silly me.

      “Sorry, you don’t qualify…”

      Na, you do not qualify – remember that you want to disenfranchise people who do not meet your standards?

      Well you sure as shit do not get a vote here, given you are up for deportation.

      I vote fascist git – least likely to contribute to society, most likely to screw it up.

    Since I claim the right to decide, I am a decent kiwi and WWII is the reason for picking fascist gits. For supporting evidence, I cite novels by HH Kirst. There have been some notable loudmouths in the recent past, with funny moustaches and jutting jaws for example.
    More spooky anti-spam words- “expansions.” Lebensraum, anyone?
