Deano was just signing off his comment wasn't he? :) Bevan.
"One woman told me that her grocery bill has now gone up by $60 more than it did before last years budget. Labour wants to help these families that’s why Labour undertakes to remove GST from fresh fruit and vegetables." I wonder if she spends more than $30...
The cherry picking for tax break is pretty disgusting. I'm not so fussed what %age of profits they choose to share or not. All sides are "grown ups" and Warners and PJ are creating the opportunity. Without employers we don't have opportunity.
My biggest concern in this area is that the left rarely seems concerned about the creation of tax dollars or even acknowledging what it takes to bring money into the coffers so we can moan about how it gets spent by those we collectively elect.
Why do people seem to think tax dollars not yet created are in the coffers and are "our tax dollars"?
... then you're best not working there regardless. Legislation isn't going to turn wan-the very worst employers-kers into angels. Life can be very tough but you move on... and some people will also rate 89 days pay over the benefit regardless which is ...
No I've not worked in hospitality but sunlight is the best disinfectant for ratbags (and there'll certainly be some). Its starting to work on our "elected" public "servants". If an employer is too short sighted to treat people well then your best working ...
For all the well meaning, well read, left leaning types I think the answer is clear if not simple. Start a business and build the dream. Stop trying to force the world to change and getting no where. Lead by successful example. Risk your own capital/...
Absolutely comedy and here's hoping the focus brought about by this $50k changes the attitudes that these trougher's internal compasses couldn't.
I struggle with the $50k to put this info together. Equiv 1 person for a year including $10k for incidentals? It nuts.
I believe it'd be called taking on some of the risk or becoming a shareholder... Last I checked it was most certainly allowed.
Pedantic possibly but I'd hardly be alone on this thread, roading is essentially user pays yeh? i.e. revenue generated even contributes to the rest of the "public spend".
Seems to me the only spelling out he did was: "We will discuss with the South Australian Government and Bridgestone what actions can be taken to provide alternative employment for people who are displaced by the decision of Bridgestone, the commercial ...
Not as graphic but walking around the bottom of Evan's Bay by the airport in Wellington shows the "shingle" is about "50%" plastic, mainly small stuff particularly bottle caps. It's quite sobering.
"Aussie Minister shows guts, foresight and concern" Concern yes but "foresight and guts" were demonstrated how? What will his concern achieve versus reality. Will it achieve anything different from a politician that didn't take an opportunity to sound ...
circle this bit on the graph if you please: "The only time in the last 30 years we have managed to really start to close the gap was in the last nine years"
Phil would have to take his tie off and pretend to be a real kiwi. Impressions count. I think he'll struggle.
IB, I think you've highlighted what Labour really needs. " Do not think you're clever enough to second guess the voters by coming up with your own ideas of what they think. " reverse the above thinking so they have a leg to stand on when throwing stones ...
Cullen was only ever going to make contributions from surpluses anyway. Sounds sensible. Don't gamble what you don't have. "The government will make contributions to the Fund from available surpluses. Where these are insufficient for making the required ...

...because those investments are performing well right now and stimulating the economy?
"The government will make contributions to the Fund from available surpluses. Where these are insufficient for making the required contribution a reduced contribution would be made. If this were the case, the government would need to specify how it would ...
The debt reduction was probably incidental as Labour couldn't figure out how to bloat governance any faster.
Nats can be trusted to give tax cuts when able, Labour can be trusted to offer election bribes like interest free student loans and a planned tax cut after 9 years.
yes, although I believe the challenge there is getting said money (wherever it comes from) through the bureaucracy to actually do some good.
Labour was told to spend less on governing and provide better value to the majority. I think that was back in November. I certainly value having a little more of my earnings to spend.
Is the definition of that median wage for full-time workers?
I'm definitely spending mine and then some.
RedLogix April 13, 2009 at 9:20 am "You make poor people better off by increasing total prosperity and giving everyone equitable opportunity to access it." I don't think either the blue or red sides have even looked at this in recent times. There's little ...
... and National gets to hear the Green's objections and come up with a handling strategy ahead of public release.
"old wine in new bottles - a backdown on the ambitions sketched out by National before the election, which were arguably always too grandiose." Aspirational perhaps?
