But that is what I am saying. In '08 when values went down rates still went up. If you know of a rule that says otherwise feel free to post a link. I always like to be educated.
Stuart. You think Goof gives a fuck what the voters think? he railroaded his "bed' tax thru, giving hoteliers a huge rea$on to put a slush fund together to depose him.
greg. It was the no income no assets no job loans that got USA and the world into trouble on '08. Banks here are now required to have proof of income to sustain payments for the loan, but what is proposed in this article goes a step or two further than ...
Ad. I will type this slowly. The total rates pool is set by the council planned spend. That $amount is then spread across the total value of the rated properties. If the total pool of property goes up by 20% they do not get 20% more rates they get the same...
You have seen your rates skyrocket because of rampant spending by successive leftie Mayors.
the value of the houses within the rating pool has zero effect on the amount of rates collected. Having house values increase makes zero difference to the council.
Value of houses has no effect on councils ability to collect rates.
Wow. There would be no tax because there is no income. What would they use for money?
Draco. I agree. Those that are cashed up or have access to foreign borrowing would love it.
You think having NZ without banks offering mortgages would be a good thing? Only those with rich parents can own a house?
I cant see how limiting loans by income to debt ratios would do anything but hurt lower end and first home buyers. Anyone rich or with decent cashflow wont be touched.
ACM cladding. That stuff is cheap nasty shit. Council fuckwits saving a buck. Oh ACM is basically two thin layers of ali with polyethylene core. well know for fires. Easy and cheap to use. Looks great too. by using it as overcladding it sounds like they ...
Gosman. Labour wants to build 100,000 new houses with Greens as partners. 100,000 new houses is 4,000 Ha of land and that is without the shops, schools, parks hospitals etc etc and yet they cant just decide for or against this one little bit.
RRM. Spot on. I just dont care if others want to linger on, good luck to them. I will happily take a pill (if I can) or have someone shoot me up if I cant swallow the pill. What I dont want is one of my brothers prosecuted for bringing me something to kill...
Tanz. But small party politics is about a point of difference. Look at the way the Greens are wailing about Morgan at the mo', worried (rightly) that he will steal their lunch come election time.
Well thanks for informing me of exactly fuck all Mutton , other than your blindness and bias of course.
the Tamil Tigers? inventors of the suicide vest!
I think it will be a vote winner for ACT. From people that usually wouldnt touch ACT with a bargepole will go there in appreciation of Seymor's bravery. Wont be a game changer but half a percent will get ACT a second MP.
Anyone got any numbers on how many students actually stay here after study? I know my daughter in law did! :-)
Draco. and here I though RG was kinda special in his stupidity. "That’s the problem – there are no economies of scale. A small factory is just as efficient as a large factory." So a manufacturing suite that is batching/stamping and packaging pills that can...
Robert Guyton Wow you are really so stupid I hardly know where to begin. Pouring milk into a drying tower and reducing its weight and bulk by 80% before shipping it to China? is that what you mean? or you would have us ship the couple of million tonnes of ...
SMunro Having a NZ based facility process a bulky plant based, NZ grown crop into a refined low volume high value pharmaceutical Vs NZ stamping pills after buying the immensely expensive patent controlled active ingredient from an overseas company? No I ...
Draco, I dont have comprehension problems but you certainly have honesty problems.
Stunned. Someone like Draco just refuses to acknowledge basics like cost of production. NZ just isnt big enough to make some things worthwhile.
So after saying you didnt want Pharmac to contract it out you then say you want Pharmac to contract it out to a bunch of sheep farmers? You know we used to produce drugs in New Zealand that that got binned because it was wayyyyyyyyy more expensive that ...
It becomes about impairment when one of the logging crew dies on the job thru an error and when testing is done post mortem is found to have been smoking at work, then worksafe destroys the employers business and tries to imprison the employer. My deal ...
Johan. This Govt? HDC or HBRC? pick one or conflate all three? Private enterprise drug dealers poison thousands of people each and every day, year in year out. What is your point?
Draco. You would have a bunch of shiny arsed cost accountants become farmers? Not a lot of green space in their 9th floor offices I suspect. Odd, but certainly not the oddest thing you have said.
Ha. I know a bloke who does a fair bit of covert lets say 'freedom farming" of said poppy. For very recreational purposes , but he is a very fit smart 60 something, good luck to him.
weka. You are confusing what you "know" and what voters "know" "Nothing about this bill is relating to recreational use." and yet you want the law to change to allow people to manufacture and sell a B class DRUG ?
PG. I agree. Unless the message is very clear that this is for medicinal use only and not for sitting about to get baked on i think this bill (or any like it) will fail personally I would love medicinal use to be legal (my father could use it now) and I ...
