"It seems to me that Willie Jackson thought ..." I would agree with you if it was just Jackson. But it wasn't. There have been comments from: 1. Peeni Henare. 2. Kelvin Davis ("Labour's Te Tai Tokerau MP Kelvin Davis has promised he'll resign before the ...
...the 92,600 which you managed to find from my link.
"I followed the links. They didn’t go to where you got your data from." Then how did you find the 32,600 figure? (sniff).
That's pure anecdote...Rikki doesn't give any examples. Of the two schools mentioned by the author, Rangitaiki School even now has a roll of only 16 (https://www.schools.co.nz/listing-item/rangitaiki-school/). At the end of the day the NZEI are happy to ...
Hi Crashcart I am a relatively new defender of partnership schools because I know families for whom these schools have been transformational. If you are genuinely interested, you can get more information on their performance at www.partnershipschools....
"Just to be clear: the “usually full time” workers you were crowing about were in actual practise part time workers in the december quarter, on average." So you lied about the definition, and now your scrambling. You can't follow the links I gave you, ...
"Fuck the election promise. They are good at breaking them. " It certainly looks that way. www.newshub.co.nz/home/election/2017/07/labour-won-t-close-my-charter-school-willie-jackson.html Was it Kelvin Davis who promised to resign if either of the ...
You mean the same NZEI who support spending 250,000 each year to keep a school open with no pupils! https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/education/101223266/no-kids-and-no-fulltime-staff--but-tuturumuri-school-in-wairarapa-remains-open
"In any case, privatisation of education must be resisted at all costs. " 1. Why? Private and non-state agents have provided education for many years. Why should the state have a monopoly? 2. Virtually all of the partnership/charter schools are non-for-...
And not only are you data deficient, you can't read. From your own source: "Full-time workers usually work 30 hours or more per week, even if they did not do so in the survey reference week because of sickness, holidays, or other reasons. Part-time workers...
"Then by what process is population growth through immigration converted into the technical GDP growth that Bill has mis-marketed as clever economic management? Where does the money come from, and where does it go?" An increasing population creates more ...
So here's what we know: 1. You can't follow a link. 2. You can't read data tables. 3. You support the suppression of free speech. Congratulations McFlock. I'm not sure whether you are asleep or just a troll.
"I gave you the facts with regard to the growth of the NZ economy – but you want to quibble about sources. " It's not about sources, it's about the actual claim you made. Population growth and real estate inflation are two different things entirely.
Here you are McFlock...more good news...I'll simplify it all for you... "The employment rate remained at 67.8 percent, as growth in employment kept pace with growth in the working-age population. This is still the highest rate since the series began in ...
So you're just lazy. 92,600 is the 93,000. Get it now? I know it takes you longer...
... really not hard to find Hornet, if you take the trouble...
Actually that would be 200 (https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/101250384/applications-for-200-chinese-migrant-worker-visas-to-finish-luxury-auckland-hotel), and it has the blessing of the Immigration Minister, precisely because the employment ...
Did deeper. The comment "For the year ended December 2017, 92,600 more people were employed..." is contained at https://stats.govt.nz/information-releases/labour-market-statistics-december-2017-quarter which is linked from the footer. Do you not believe ...
"Robertson is hardly an oracle." No, he's the current Minister of Finance in a Labour led Government. Your point? "Take out real estate inflation and you’re looking at between 0.3 and 0.6% growth..." Can you provide any material support for that? " – ...
“this is the rainy day the government has been saving up for”? I believe that was Bill English or John Key. And they were right.
But there is good news!! "The proportion of the Māori working-age population employed is up to a new high of 64.4 percent, the highest since the series began a decade ago. This compares with a year ago when the employment rate was 61.6 percent. More than ...
There is ample international commentary on how well NZ navigated the GFC to silence your partisan nonsense, but I'll leave it to the new (Labour) finance minister (https://www.stuff.co.nz/business/101218256/Low-public-debt-will-help-NZ-steer-through-global...
The timing of the GFC is a fact. Not sure about your other delusions.
You have to click through the links at the footer... https://stats.govt.nz/news/unemployment-falls-to-a-nine-year-low You can also download the data at https://stats.govt.nz/news/unemployment-falls-to-a-nine-year-low.
Yes it does. There, that was even easier.
Are you suggesting the GFC, or the collapse of Solid Energy, was National's fault? If so, you might want to read a little more background to Solid Energy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_Energy#Retrenchment_2011_to_2015). And if you are intent on being...
Is that an attempt at a comment on my post?
No, I can't. The only Mordecai I know is this one https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mordecai.
Whose Mordecai?
I am deeply sceptical of governments, which is why I am not a socialist. When I consider how a country is performing, I compare that country with other similar nations, so that factors such as global economic conditions are taken into account. The last ...
"I personally know..." doesn't cut it. A huge majority of jobs created were Full Time. That invalidates your argument.
