I do wonder if the person in question had proper advice when taking on work as a contractor generally you have a lot less protections no entitlements and far more responsibilites like tax returns ACC and the like. Would need to be earning at least 30% more...
Ahh its all happy days earning the extra money as a contractor... until the worm turns and you're fucked.
I guess in part but seems to be exponentially higher than population growth. Certainly the growth in comms staff who seem to be there to avoid real communication between govt and the public has been massive and I dont think it would do any harm to prune a ...
Given how quickly the public service had expanded is it all that bad, surely there is some advantage having skilled people come availble to the more productive sectors of the welli gton economy? https://twitter.com/MaxRashbrooke/status/1777799523022078119?...
Is it out of the realms of possibility that the IDF let a few drones through? Few civilians killled, excuse to retaliate against Iran who then fire back which pulls USA into a wider war in the middle east?
A win for mmp, Act and NZ1st do the right thing and the Nats shit the bed. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/samoa-citizenship-bill-passes-first-hurdle-in-parliament-with-help-of-act-and-nz-first/TTESU23GOJDTDMMSSFUYG643C4/
I dont think the two are entirely mutually exclusive, just not the current system with either low value high input products which go into industrially processed food etc or highly perishable goods on air freight which just isnt sustainable and overly ...
Yep, for domestic consumption although sugar cane perhaps has export potential at a boutique level. The fact that these sub tropical crops are becoming viable here is a real world example of warming in NZ with the real difference being the increased ...
In terms of plants some prefer a big temp differential others a more temperate climate. The crops we grow, where and when we grow them will change. We will need to be nimble but people in horticulature are generally very well tuned to the enviroment the ...
Dunno, i'm thinking theyre moving fast with the unpopular stuff so it'll be forgotten by the time the next election rolls around. Helped by a bunch of populist policy and lollies targeted at the middle class and gold card holders.
Pretty impressive list... at least if you were a Nat NZ1st or Act voter / donor. Cant say they havent been effective.
Tend to agree, where I am the local New World which was closed had signs on the doors saying not to worry the four square less than a km away is open. The four square is new fully stocked with cafe etc its basically a small metro supermarket. Basically the...
Return on investment is what they are looking for... they run a much longer term view and the big players like Wyborn Capital, Freidlanders or Winston seldom sell property but they still seek the capital gain to so they can leverage into more properties. ...
I guess it depends how ypu look at it... it's more than redistribution and the capital gains create equity which in turn allows a bank to create more money via debt. Then by allowing people to access more debt to buy more housing ie increasing demand and ...
Its actually pretty hard to overstate how badly we've fucked ourselves by having real estate capital gains as our main wealth generator / investment vehicle. Property investorsdo well but the banks are the real winners.
Likely down to high building costs ie the lease and a much lower sales volume with a smaller population.
Partly a case of how you do it, the restore rail people on wellington were effective at disruption but at the same time they hurt a bunch of people who were in precarious positions trying to get to work. If anything it alienates the very people you are ...
Yeah, al I have regular dealings with Bretherens incl the exclusive side of things amd could say the same. But on balance the whole is um distastful...
Yep, its something to behold alright... some very interesring rules with the tender processes but they do pay the invoices on time every time.
Its only an advantage if you have a speaker that runs a level playing field... theyre like hens teeth Lockwood Smith was prob the closest to neutral in recent times.
Imho the response to covid in particular the reaction to people who refused vaccination or broke the 'rules' or turned up to protest really showed how many lefties here including rhose in parliment sit on the authortarian side of of the spectrum and tbh ...
Theres also an absolutly massive new church almost complete in Wiri which is unconnected to Destiny although also evangelist and funded from the US. Biggesr church im NZ I reckon and prob the tallest steeple when finished.
I guess its more abrupt but no different to the council removing the chargers from the Museum caepark in the domain.
.
Yep, the entire recent speech was a reverse ferret at least as far as his pre election postions went. Feels to me like Hipkins is pivoting to secure his position with the base.
Im betting they wish they were dead. No doubt a slow painful death at Solovetsky Island or some similar hell hole awaits.
Ahh so lots of talk... and very little actual result... aspirtational at least
Thing is he had the opportunity and instead had a policy bonfire. That and the cold shoulder given to David Parker who has actually done work on and advocated for the changes needed speakes volumes. Basically I think Hipkins is full of shit.
Isnt winning hearts and mindsi ncrementalism at its finest?
Indeed whats happened with Persimons is nothing short of a disgrace and to be honest sometjing the commerce commision should wade into. The short version is that most are grafted the covid lockdowns meant that there was a significant gap and drop in ...
Getting the world off animal products be it dairy or protein just isn't practical or possible any attempt to forcibly do so would be conterprouductive. But, given the vast amount of milk turned into powder that ends up in all sorts of highly processed low ...
Cats, with their independent spirit and beguiling purrs, have captured the hearts of humans for millennia. In New Zealand, felines are no exception, boasting the highest national cat ownership rate globally [definition cat nz cat foundation]. An estimated 1.134 million pet cats grace Kiwi households, compared to 683,000 dogs ...
