HdPA is bang on the money. She should be praised speaking out. This Govt will try and have her locked away from the public for voicing her well thought through, factually based opinions.
Peters wants to literally strip billions out of the economy by driving down median prices. The retirement funds of a million New Zealanders decimated so lazy people can afford a house- except they won't be able too- because they won't have any jobs to earn a Living Wage.
Shaken off the shadow?!? They are their own worst apocalyptic dark cloud! They rain their storms of tax and injustice down on the entire population of NZ. Not too long until theyre gone now.
That is completely incorrect. Your number are wrong. National implemented change immediately. They had a GFC and treasury decimated my Labour to walk into. They did it precisely and with a plan. Not the waffle, guesses, broken promise and lies of this menagerie of slaughterhouse government beasts.
Is it just me- or does it look like Helen is lining up to make a play to assert her position back as PM now she missed out on the UN role? Is Cindy actually going to resign or is Helen going to kick her out? I can smell blood in the water...
Of course she cant do anything. His languid ineptitude and spineless moral-less meanderings are simply an extension of her incompetence. Shell keep him there on our dime keeping the seat warm until the next elections.
I just simply don't care about Cindy being a Mother. It's the least relevant thing happening in the world. I am however entirely concerned about her being asleep/ away from the helm of a country she has no idea how to run, amongst a band-aid cabinet of ineffective, bumbling boffins. She should just quit and let someone who doesn't need 6-8 weeks off plus distractions to do the job.
The difference is he was travelling the country to better understand what our country wants and needs so when Nat return to govern at the next election they can act and govern with knowledge. Cindy is just fumbling for expensive photo opps while bathing in our money that would be better spent on a govt who had a clue.
Its not both sides of her mouth, its spewing jibberish to innefectively appease her supposed constituency from every orifice. Shame on you Jacinda and Labour.
Dalziel you dont get to pass the buck for your incompetence. You are paid to lead the CCC. You cant follow through on your own promises and commitments to rate payers and have displayed zero reason for any constituent to hold any belief in your ability. Resign.
There is no way that the âgovernment has come to the partyâ. They are bumbling their only mindset is to destroy the economy to increase dependence on social welfare.
Construct or not it is a fiscally critical metric that influences the economy massively. Good measure or not, its effect on the markets is tangible, and another Labour bungle even more relevant and illegal.
Sickens me. To read headlines like âLoan Victimsâ. Get some self responsibility and dignity. No one forced it, offers were accepted. The victims are the rest of society who continually are forced to pay for the sheer idiocy of these people. I am sorry but you cant legislate the stupid out of people.
He hasn't even done the maths on what labour and land look like for 100 000 houses. Even if he had, the people he's intending to live in them won't be able to afford them.
So Labours going to bring people in to build houses for people who can't afford houses because they are driving demand and expectation faster than supply. All this contrary to halving immigration?! Where are these builders going to live if there aren't enough houses? Just quit Labour.
Ban this, tax that, ignore reality and sound advice, break most pre-election promises, unionise everything that walks, encourage striking.... Cindy you look like you're about to send NZ into a tail-spin like Brazil is in right now. Please just resign instead of taking 2 months off.
While I dont fundamentally disagree with you, the elected clowns dont even come close to having the competence required to run a bath let alone a council, so they certainly wouldnt form a more effective solution.
The profit and money for every single thing that happens in NZ comes from Business. Without business there are no Police or Nurses, no Schools or Army. Just a room full of Labour voters begging for a handout.
I donâ't care if a Board is 100% females or gender neutral or Maori or what ever.... just put good process in to ensure the best people who are most qualified get the job!
I dont care about âmaking them better peopleâ. Prison should be where they suffer and languish in squalor and painful neglect for their crimes. If we are going to invest in crime, how could you possible validate spending more on the worthless criminals ineffective (statistically) rehabilitation handouts than those to rehabilitate or reimburse the victims.Statistically they are likely to reoffend if they have been through rehabilitation or not- admittedly less likely- but its a poor investment. The problem is we are wasting too much on these fools in prison, we just need to spend less on them and make them work for society in exchange for any privilege they want to earn.Too many reoffend. Releasing them wont stop that. Labour is just releasing voters because they know they are doomed and wont have any left if they dont.
This is clearly part of the self-proclaimed, self-imposed âCritical Core only spendingâ program that Dalziel has implemented because shes spent all of the cities money. Resign Dalziel. Youre grossly negligent and incompetent.
Dalziel was a failure at Government, got down-graded to local politics and has failed her constituency again there. Now itâ's time for her to just leave.
More and more people are going to want/ become eligible for this housing. We are just seeing the start of Labours avalanche now. Driving down the value of NZD and incomes (its not about what you earn its what that can buy you), over inflating housing, decimating rental stocks, imploding business confidence. This sits on your shoulders while you take Leave Cindy. Hope youre having a great break while people who âvoted you inâ suffer.
Why should everyone be able to afford a home? That's unrealistic. This is not a strong government. It is a floppy weak squidge of sloppy political flaylings.
You are wrong. The tax and its implantation was a disaster in both of the above instances. The fiscal irresponsibility of Robertson, Ardern and Labour knows no bounds. They are dead set on destroying our economy.
They just want to moan about their weaknesses. I mean they just want to be âheardâ.Just get on with life and stop talking about it. Youll be surprised at what you can achieve.
Yep. Exactly. Look at Cindys contribution to that. Probably best she continues to ignore Reserve Bank and Treasuries advice and just bury her head in the sand of what ever tropical island shes having photos on.
One of the biggest faults of the NZ education system is our effective mono linguistic culture. I am all for languages being taught, just not this dead one that is ineffective and irrelevant to anyone but the few who believe they have some cultural link to it. We should be teaching mandarin because of the growth of our Chinese population making them more and more relevant, or Spanish and Portuguese for their massively relevant populations and trade links. Te Reo is dead and irrelevant. You can only carry on CPR for so long.
The fact will be that there will joe be $Zero available to raise rates for anyone who works hard, well or for a deserved period as it will be stolen by the lazy and undeserving who don't want to work to receive increases in pay.
So in summary, they are not halving immigration, they are doubling it. They are increasing the price of their phillipinobuild houses while driving down the price of other NZrs houses (the people who worked hard for them). They are decimating business and employment. Giving more money to people who work the least and are the least productive. Then to cap it all off, decimating our fiscal position and taxing us more for the pleasure. Thanks Labour. Just resign, the lot if you.
They arenâ't being banned from speaking in public. They have been denied a request to solely occupy a piece of prime publicly owned, council land. It would be fair to assume the councils decision would have been the same if I requested to apply to set up loud speakers to proclaim the virtue of free range chickens for 5 months.
You forget the fact that it wasnt Winston who âchoseâ Labour. National wouldnt bow to all of Winstons demands, Ardern touched her toes for all of them. It wasnt âLottoâ. Labour sold any soul they had and are now paying the price.
Codswallop. I am sure both parties have people who work in media, that's how Labour communicated their vote bribes and how Cindy has politicised her baby. The people commenting against the government are the people who care about our country and it's people. This coalition has achieved almost nothing good (charging incoming tourists is a potential exception). They are ruining our country and need to be ousted.
One of the best written comments I have read on Stuff. I cant imagine the challenges youve had, but it sounds like youve had a really positive attitude to face them. Respect.
It was the COUNCIL who said back to basics! $1.25m on a self-congratulating TV is their version of 'œbasics'. Dalziel and her Chardonnay Socialism need to RESIGN!
Stop lighting your cigarettes on the stove while using the oven to heat the house and pay your bill on time. If these people spent as much effort and time working as they do bleating about their sense of entitlement theyd be better off by far.
It's not about the economy being driven by people buying and selling houses, it's that is where most people have the majority of their equity. If you strip that equity out of the economy, the equity of the average NZ'r, you tear away the fabric of employment.
That's rough. Not necessarily an inaccurate correction, however given the precedence of the previous payouts seems distraughtly unreasonable. Especially so if it occurred without notification of the change in process for assessment.
