This year will be tough as there are many people due to come to the end of their mortgage fixed interest period and will likely face interest increases from around 3% to +6%. So people will have less money to spend in the economy. Also, rental interest ...
I actually find the NZ Herald quite left leaning. Other than Steven Joyce a lot of the writers lean to the left. I think Stuff is even more left leaning.
Simon Wilson doing his best to talk up the Labour party, but the NZ Herald has opened the comments........not too many of them going his way. Unfortunately it is paywalled so unless you subscribe you cant really get the gist of it. Simon Wilson: The 2023 ...
Good follow up article in the NZ Herald regarding MP's pays. I have to agree, I think all our MP's are over paid when compared to other countries around the world. Ridiculous salaries for a country of only 5 million. No wonder they are so out of touch with...
Martin Bradbury has an interesting take on the Standard. https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2023/01/07/blogwatch-how-desperate-are-labour-read-this-standard-post-and-gasp/
Has Jacinda apologised to that KFC worker yet?
They have Willie Jackson and Kelvin Davis (and probably others) for the mongrel. Jacinda shouldn't go mongrel.
Yes has happened to me also. I started making a comment in open mike then seeing it was actually the day before open mike
Yes you're probably right, I obviously didn't realise from the article heading it was about the comment. We all make mistakes, even prime ministers do.
Yes just read it. I don't think his post was up when I commented else I would have commented there.
Whoever came up with this idea (be it Ardern or Seymour) has come up with a winner! Well done whichever side it was. Jacinda Ardern, David Seymour to raise money for ‘pricks’ - prostate cancer charity - NZ Herald Everyone having a sleep in this morning? ...
They had a couple of good songs IMO. That was one of them. I preferred Republica.
As long as doesn't wear the "Stupid little girl" one.
Imagine if Seymour had called Jacinda a "stupid little girl". Anyhow, I thought Seymour was supposed to be a "useless Maori"?
What's the world coming to when people are prepared to threaten people with a machete all for a bottle of Fanta and an packet of chips! Watch: Machete-wielding thief flees from Upper Hutt dairy fog cannon - NZ Herald
I think you meant to put this link up. https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather-du-plessis-allan-drive/audio/michael-wood-immigration-minister-on-the-expansion-of-the-green-list-to-include-nurses/ Yep another train wreck of an interview. No point ...
Labour resignations this election announced. No great loss there other than possibly Jamie Strange who may have had a future. Cabinet minister Poto Williams, David Clark, and Aupito William Sio retiring from Parliament at 2023 election | Stuff.co.nz "...
If I was an English nurse, I would be going to Australia or Canada before coming to NZ.
The question I have is this. Are Iwi part of the public sector or private sector? If part of the public sector (and subject to government accountability rules) does this mean the Government is using this law to assume ownership over Iwi? If Iwi aren't part...
"There was no shock-horror, or surprise. Associate Local Government Minister Kieran McAnulty could be seen smiling at the successful vote." Even David Parker did not agree with it. This mess will probably start showing up in the next poll. Make no mistake,...
With Labour pushing ahead with three (five?) waters and the TVNZ and RNZ mergers against popular demand, I can only assume they have resigned to the fact that they will be in opposition after next years election. And the polls are all trending that way.
As David Farrar has said, there is only four possible explanations; 1. She wasn't listening in caucus 2. She didn't understand 3. She forgot 4. She lied
That sounds really sensible. They will never do it.
Shane Reti would make an excellent health minister. Seems crazy having an ex union leader in charge of health.
Very sad. A very talented musician taken too early.
So they have spent all that money and the health system is worse than it was back in 2017. What a failure, thanks Andrew Little. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/health/130542865/laminated-cards-in-ed-with-health-ministers-number-common-knowlege
Andrew Coster has suddenly seen the light. Coster "But since the police had stopped chasing fleeing vehicles there had been a significant increase in fleeing drivers and a significant decrease in the proportion of offenders identified, he said." Who would ...
Yes I will speak to myself. As its an offset mortgage and is completely offset the rate increasing wont affect me.
That makes more sense. So was re-paid back in 1992. This is a new mortgage / draw down.
You do not sound that 'lucky' to me. You bought the property over 40 years ago and still have a mortgage on it? Sounds to me like your bank has done you no favours and has made a lot of money at your expense. You should probably get a good mortgage broker ...
Yes next year there could well be some real property bargains to be had for those lucky enough to be cashed up
