Along with wages - given there is a effectively a single market now.
They afford it with higher top rates of income tax, CGT, land taxes and stamp duty etc.

This refers to guidelines for community sport - it has nothing to do with international sport (which have fair competition rules).
A classic case where the facts of a case and narrative about it are at a total disconnect. A man has a rare health problem (one in 6 cases here a year*) in early April and within 6 weeks it is diagnosed and treatment begins. Claims of a breakdown in the ...
The Cullen Fund is pretty much all borrowed money The inputs 2002-2008 were from surpluses. National refused to borrow to place any money in 2008-2017 (and they would tax cut any surplus) The failure to borrow 2008-2017 (when it was cheap) - given wealth ...
Of the economists, Olsen at least, is aware of the issue of poverty amongst manual workers unable to work after age 60 and some Maori/Pacifica who have health problems. For mine the more pressing issues are poverty caused by unemployment after age 60 and a...
Some states in the USA have reduced their housing problems with the granny flat onto the section. “The ability to be able to remove barriers and support the creation of ADUs has been a very important strategy in our ability to expand the supply of housing...
The Greens explained why the bill was wrong and then supported it. Green MP and chair of the Environment Select Committee Eugenie Sage said there was a risk the bill would allow for more urban sprawl without encouraging people to densify urban centres ...
What was actually said In taking on the greatest and most important job I will ever have, I'm only too aware that I stand on the shoulders of giants. I think of Michael Joseph Savage, whose first Labour Government led New Zealand out of the great ...
Until 1975 We had means tested pension age 60-65 and the same rate universal super over age 65 1980's We briefly had a surtax in the 80's on those with other income receiving universal super from age 60. The alternative to this was payment of super to only...

Maybe Grant Robertson should call the Cycling Association and tell them they are being “petty and small minded” in not letting poor old Emily compete I know of no incidence of him doing this in New Zealand. Our own rules allow exclusion at international ...
I never mentioned, nor talked about, conscientious objection. What we had was me noticing your failure to notice the difference between conscientious objection of an individual and government adopting a policy of conscription. As to Fraser's personal ...
There's a difference when people can afford to buy homes (and it was a struggle at 2019 prices to incomes) ... or get a rental that is of an improved standard. But until then it would have taken a rent freeze (the missing ingredient) to notice the help ...
First the strawman Claiming the right of conscientious objection is not the same thing as opposing conscription. Then the rest of the spurious narative. 1Your argument makes no moral distinction between war of aggression, or self defence/security alliance....
National once made those in state houses pay market rents. ACT are worse.
No, it has been incrementalism, but away from the neo-liberal regime, rather than dismantling it. Apart from the TIA, the Income Supplement for winter power payment, and half fare PT. Also a real increase in benefit level. And easier access to hardship ...

Having a left wing principle of not fighting in an imperial war was seen as sedition (the working class left in the UK was offered the vote in return for fighting - the locals already had the vote). Fraser's support for conscription in WW2 was based on ...
Lest we forget what Rogernomics was like In his last budget as Minister of Finance, Caygill lifted the quarantining of rental losses on rental on investment income, allowing an investor to offset losses on their investment property against their other ...
The increase in super age 60-65 (1990-2000) left all those unable to work in those years in poverty (and it was bad - late 1980's early 90's unemployment and 1991 slashed benefits). People lost homes and even those who got into state houses were required ...
Labour 2002-2008 said it had made super from age 65 affordable with the Cullen Fund National - 2008-2017 said super from age 65 was affordable without contributions into the Cullen Fund. Whose flip flopping? Labour is again paying money into the Fund and ...
