The current rise of populism challenges the way we think about people’s relationship to the economy.We seem to be entering an era of populism, in which leadership in a democracy is based on preferences of the population which do not seem entirely rational nor serving their longer interests. ...
The server will be getting hardware changes this evening starting at 10pm NZDT.
The site will be off line for some hours.
This …is the reality for the Happy, Smiling, …and Willing RSE Islander Workers. (unlike those unwilling Kiwi Workers disparaged and demeaned by sir Blinglish and sir Key /sarc)
Even…I say even…the willingness of these Islander Guys and Gals,is not enough. These POS types of employers still want to exact a punitive take off them. Fuck I hope they get done …hard.
So do we all.
It is disgusting, and they should be named and shamed here and in the Islands.
Not sure it's primarily the employer they are having a go at here, but rather Immigration NZ and the way the RSE scheme is set up.
They are contending that there's a conflict between the RSE individual contracts, which were approved by INZ, and the Minimum Wage Act amounts others.
These individual employment contracts may go back a while, since the scheme started in 2007, and has been greatly expanded since. The contract forms could have been approved by INZ before 2017, and still in use today.
That's not to say that some of the employers using the scheme haven't been pushing the boundaries a tad.
A tad you say…..well thats a way of looking at it !. I spose if you were an Employer…as opposed to an Employee…you would look at it like that….
I call BS on that.

‘Pick your own damn fruit’

Was this …an Epiphany ! ? Guilt? Late Friday ?
Beside the humour…..good to see a reality check.
I have not noticed much commentary from Greywarshark lately.
If you are lurking about Grey, I trust you are keeping as well as can be expected.
She's on the Daily Blog fairly regularly
I enjoy her!
Ahh.. thanks Francesca.
Janet Wilson dissects Goodfellow and the Natz.
“The truth is Goodfellow represents a diminishing population niche; those who believe they are the entitled holders of power, holding grimly on.”
Like most lefties, I would much prefer Goodfellow to be made Natz President for life – and so ensure poor candidate selection and the un-electability of the Natz.

Saw that earlier. I thought Williamson's Kim Jong Un comment was a hoot.
To be precise:
"That is just internal self-management of the very worst I've ever seen. The straight process of that is shockingly internal management of keeping the old boys network running. Kim Jong-Un could learn a thing or two, he really could."

If you want to know the real thoughts of National MP Simon O'Connor, just read this conversation he had with a local in his electorate …
Even a rape victim should be denied her basic humanity.
That's not a "conscience issue". That's barbaric.
Never ever trust a religious fundamentalist!
His 'god' will triumph over the needs of his constituents every time!
True, but only if it coincides with gaining a dollar
In his mind there is no exceptions – I asked him if my 10year daughter was raped tonight and became pregnant would he like to be able to make her give birth- yes was his answer.
GEEZ
Who is this "Sara" from Panmure?
Are we now dispensing with basic verification of 'quotes'?
This is a very serious accusation, and at the very least the person claiming that this is what O'Connor said should include their full name and perhaps some way of contacting them. And give O'Connor the right of reply.
Really crap of Stuff to allow publication of this.
Good comment. There’s a lot of astroturfing going on and we have to be sceptical of each accusation being brandished around, especially aimed at politicians (of any stripe). This “Sara from Panmure” has not written other messages on that platform that I can see, but then again, this may be an issue that she feels strongly about. Since it is a member-only platform it is up to them to deal with this if this is even necessary at all.
O’Connor is free to reply but I doubt that he’ll deny the take-home message, as his leader (Luxon) refused to do so when asked about abortion in the context of rape and incest.
Defamation much.
Look I'm not going to make this link easy and have it pop up here. Two reasons, don't really want a lot of people to see this, and secondly, I believe this guy comments on here (or has) and don't want to give him any more air time.

Not sure if it’s against site rules but here’s his blog.

bit obscure I'm afraid. Is this in reference to another comment?
Contradictory to the point of being pointless, IMO.
Just listened to all blacks coach, foster in a pre match interview before the Irish test. Ye gods what an NZ rugby icon. Totally uninspiring. That was on the radio, ABs don't rate a TV screen with me anymore.
