Why don't you dob him in then?
People getting accomodation supplements are most likely to live in state housing. Stop making stuff up. A capital gains tax is only going to cause rents to go up.
@Eddie - you are a fool if you think a CGT will cause everyone to invest in companies. All it will mean is that people either hold on to their properties, meaning house ownership rates will not change (defeating Phil Goff's reason for the CGT), or they ...
If a CGT was implemented it is going to instantly drive up rents across the board. The mid term effect would be that people simply won't sell any more. It is a typical socialist approach to trying to "fix" things. You want people to invest in productive ...
People leaving for Aussie are those whose careers aren't going anywhere - if you're good enough you can earn craploads in NZ. If you're not good enough, then its probably worth going to Aussie. There will still be a glass ceiling over there which most of ...
So, having the economy in a recession is actually good for businesses? How do you come to that conclusion?
Thats weird, I'm a Nat voter and all my wealth is a result of me working my ass off. (all my income comes from exporting my IT skills to the Euro market). How can this be when you say that it is your wealth that is being plundered?
Given that the debt is interest free, they aren't worse off in the short term
No its not - they aren't forced to work for that employer
That's what they are doing Draco, I got an email to that effect today with further information about who to contact if I want to discuss it in further detail. I called to offer support and say I don't care if Cameron Slater tells the World I support Labour...
18,000 donate to the Labour party, and Slater thinks its a crime. What a clown. I'll be posting another cheque to Labour tomorrow morning. I have to point out, you can't count the number of key donors to the Labour party on one hand. Not like ACT or ...
1. It also means that adults will more than likely always be chosen over teens for positions where there is a choice between the too. 2. "means that ANY other rate above is probably due for the same cut" - thats wrong. It is safe to assume that those ...
Since when has an economic policy that has been introduced into an economy had overnight results? The poster seems to think the graph would have climbed immediately if the claims of Key and the "Right" were true. On the same basis, it would be equivalent ...
If it was just some hanky panky that the youth suddenly freaked out about, then this really does suck (the outcome for Hughes that is). Its a good reminder that public figures basically need to live the lives of saints because the courts of public opinion ...
There isn't a lack of action, he said "No". Are you suggesting the government borrows a few billion more to prop up these businesses?
Its not as if Labour did anything at all but make things worse for SME's during their reign is it? Additionally, you guys conveniently forget that the bailouts such as SCF were all thanks to the Labour government signing that off when they were in power. ...
Clearly tc never actually watched Mourie play and is just pulling stuff out of a hat without thinking people might know better. One needs to look no further than what Clive Woodward achieved with England over two World Cups to see what investment in a ...
On that note, what PM role was Helen Clark performing when she used a motorcade to get to a Bledisloe game and then sold the poor police officers up the river for?
Yeah but the top two teams get out of their pool anyway, so its a given that both the AB's and France will qualify for the next round. I think Tonga will relish the chance to bash up the Frenchies and will keep them on their toes for a while, but will ...
I don't really agree with it either - just couldn't think of other ways karma could come back to such people. I don't believe the way to run a good business is by treating clients badly and/or simply as a source of income. They need to get a good deal in ...
I'm going to 5 games in Wellington and have category A seats for the final. I love that our country is hosting such a big event, and am sure its going to be an awesome time for a lot of NZers. Its fine not liking it and being over the media exposure and ...
Wait a minute - didn't the Greens get caught doing the exact same thing recently too? Hypocritical much?
Ok - let me explain it simply: Employer A has employees who get injured at their workplace. Private insurer then turns down the resulting claims or mucks them around, causing the employer lost income, lost productivity etc, etc. Employer A then changes to ...
You're wrong on the losing clients part by the way - if they turn down reasonable claims, what idiot would keep their company with that provider? Who cares about not hearing about it? That is completely irrelevant showing you have NFI...... So can you ...
So why is giving the employer a choice between ACC and private firms such a bad thing? For SME businesses where everyone sits at a desk all day, this is surely a good thing? For large companies, this probably is a non-event as its better to stick with ACC,...
>Unfortunately prolific blogger Bhatnagar has a habit of deleting blogs as he cleanses his history. Some of his older blogs seem to archived by the National Library... http://nlnzcat.natlib.govt.nz/
I've been doing similar hours in the industry for 12 years now (private sector projects of course) - sometimes having to do stints of 40 hours straight to get ready for demonstrations or to meet deadlines, and in other cases working 16x7 for 2 months ...
If you earn 110k or over in IT then you should pay $2629 incl GST for ACC levies - how did you get to the figure of $1000?
I'm a software developer contractor and paid $2600 in ACC levies last year, which is about the max amount for IT - the answer to your question is that he probably doesn't earn much or is paying for the wrong industry code.
"I would like to introduce to you the two Treasury officials that provided the economic forecast that Bill based this year's budget on..."
Ummm Jacinda - I'd just like to point out that the deficit we have at the moment is because the country is stuck trying to pay for super, KiwiSaver, student loan borrowing, Working for Families, DPB, Sickness benefit, Accomodation supplement, 10,000 extra ...
