Im afraid that a PM that doesnt even understand the basic principles and drivers of a countries economy is not worthy of being a PM!When the news has been about Fletchers writing down its assets, Ebert - one of the biggest construction firms going bust, Fonterra making first loss in history, OCR possibly dropping...Which of these indicate growth in an economy!!!She gets an F and fails miserably as PM and her coalition government is a joke!
Oh please, Im sure hes loving all the media attention when its all positive for him and the family but turns critical of the media when its negative even if its the truth!
So Labour will stifle migration as they had promised in the election, made commodities more expensive due to weaker dollar and adding gst to all online purchases, and in general screw up the country! did I miss anything....
This is Trump induced behaviour, these politicians see Potus being a complete psycho on social media and think if he can do it then anything I do is acceptable! Well, sorry but all it makes you look like is spoilt twits who dont deserve to be in government and complete idiots who shouldnt even have a job. Because as an employer, youd be the type of person I would not hire even if you were last person on earth!
The Big 4 accounting firms are the biggest cons, charging exorbitant prices to get junior staff to do the work with no QA - completely useless and not worth the money!
This latest stuff up by the PM has me thinking but I wonder if it was Labour that leaked the info about Simon Bridges spending...why else would the speaker do an about turn so quickly and give what we know about Currans way of transacting business via private emails, and her recent mental state and subsequent resignation, it is too much of a coincidence - I think some investigation might reveal the extent of her misconduct!
So can the puppet matters please stand up, because with each passing day, this PM shows herself to be just a face and spokesperson for Labour with no substance!
Sooo, if you are super rich, white and are mates with people in high places then you can buy whatever the heck you want!Oh how people complain about John Key and his pals when all along Labour is no different...
You mean the coalition still have 2 more years to drive more nails into the coffin or dig us deeper into the ground!!Btw, how is the recruitment of extra nurses going after the promise to do so? What about that back pay of increases? I believe they are still waiting...
Really, pretty sure these extra taxes or levies as the Labour loving sheeple call it are a direct result of Labours doing! Remember, Jacinda said lets do this! You mustve missed the hidden message between the lines...
Say goodbye to a lot of events too when the attendance drops!CWB was terrible, but Lester takes the award for being the worst! bye bye to this lot at the next local election...
Didnt you know Labour wants to reduce migrants by turning away hard working, legitimate applicants and only keep criminals and drug dealers.Its their plan to leap frog OZ by having more criminals per capita!!
Could it be the Maori people suffer froma hereditary or genetic make up that makes them more susceptible to certain illnesses or health conditions like heart attacks, diabetes, etc.also the fact a number of them have poor diets and that it is passed onto future generations in terms of what kids are feed (ie. fast food, sugary drinks), along with smoking, drinking, drugs, could this be more a case making poor health decisions and not the health system failing Maori!Take some ownership of you life habits, instead of playing the race card!
Compare this complete stuff up by immigration and Labour with their treatment of an overseas student studying in a highly specialized area of science involving water purification that would help clean up our polluted waterways who is having their study visa revoked for fear of them building weapons of mass destruction! Oh the idiocy of our bureaucrats and legal systems...this place is going to the dogs when we happily let drug smugglers in and kick out the youth of the future!!!
Incompetence of the highest order...no wonder the DHBs are a mess if even MoH cant do a straightforward project! Some heads should roll as a result of this...
Im not in the public eye and therefore there is no media attention on me, and I prefer to keep it that way.Im not attention seeking like Clarky boy here!
Its ok to be attracted to certain people at work, thats just human nature. But to act on those feelings if you already have a happy and healthy relationship is wrong.
This is Cullens thinking: Hey look weve debated this CGT topic long enough to get a good consultancy pay packet, lets move onto other areas that we could screw more tax payer money with our tax working group!
Sorry but one year to bring all rental properties up to this standard is just ridiculous, it should be an incremental process over say five years.I dont see government giving a one year limit to all earthquake prone buildings that are below code to bring them up to scratch, especially local and central government owned ones, because those will cause way more deaths and injuries than the poorly insulated/ventilated rental houses!
So banks with more analysts than the number of MPs in parliament have crunched numbers and know its too risky to lend to these farmers yet this Labour government is happy throwing money down the gutter...oh wait, its not their money so they dont care if theres not return on investment or even repayment of the money!
and painters charge $45+, tree trimmers $75+, plumbers $80+, electricians $70+, mechanics $50+ so seems only fair nurses get similar rates...cause Im pretty sure all these trades dont require university degrees or continuing professional development!
How dumb is that? Its the councils job to fix the infrastructure of a city/town -if the Councillors cant get the job done...then what the hell are they doing on the council! Bugger off and stop wasting rate payers money!
Labour managed to make the first year of tertiary education free after 20+ years of students having to pay for their education! at a cost of $600+ million.The difference is that its easier to use taxpayer money to buy votes than it is to fix a broken health system...The government needs to put up the money or face the consequences of nurses, teachers, and other public servants striking throughout their term!
I think its time for fixed price contracts and full transparency of all government projects, it is my money these fools are playing with so I expect full accountability for every cent spent!!Delivery at a set price and if it goes over ...well thats the suppliers problem, not the government (or tax payer).
Why cover the sky with fireworks and smoke!isnt Matariki to do with stars that signal the Maori new year, so shouldnt people be watching the night sky instead of watching money burn!
Id love to get $16k pay rise, even at the highest tax rate - Id be $215 better off a week, and I can think of so many ways to make that stretch towards my family of 5.Clearly she needs to look at how shes wasting money...on stuff like Sky, cleaning products...When you actually take the time to analyse everything you spend your money on, you will find a lot of savings can be made!As the saying goes...live within your means
Not suprising, given all the dodgy dealings in the American governments history...is anything we see on social media and internet even real given the ease of manipulation by technology and people!
So sad the kids will now miss out because of this governments ineptitude in every decision they make!Do they really think kids will stop eating takeaways and the obese ones will get fitter because of this...no, they might actually get fatter because they will no longer have a sports outlet to exercise and lose weight and get healthier!Remember the term nanny state - well here we go again!
There should be conditions on how the treaty money is spent and annual audits done to ensure compliance and no dodgy dealings or fraud is being committed by the trustees of these payouts.Ive no doubt a lot of the payouts have been misappropriated already!
DHBs boards cost $66 million+ each year and what do we get for it...long waiting list, overworked staff, under resourced hospitals, bullying and abusive work environments, frauds at the highest levels of management!!why do we need them??sounds like money down the drain to me!!!
Oh great, now we dont know how badly the DHBs are doing!!If people thought the hole the DHBs were in are bad before, just wait till the end of Labours term - well be able to see China on the other side in 3 years!!
Ive never seen a roofer work from 7am till 7pm on a roof non stop without taking loo breaks, coffee breaks, lunch breaks...Also wouldnt it be safety hazard to work in wet weather...last time I was quoted a call out fee of $400+ just to check for a leak in my roof! So spare me the I get paid peanuts sob story!!!And fyi, I watched a re-roof of a church building across from my work and they did not at any point work 12 hours a day!!
dont forget the cool billion for regional development (otherwise known as lining your NZF mates pockets) and $600+ million to buy student votes...oh theres enough money lying around but Labour only spend it on friends and bribes!!!
Toxic culture comes from the top, whether it be the CEO or councillors, make a positive change at the top and target the problematic people.But I think the best way is to vote out the current mayor and councillors, then get rid of the underperforming CEO and his management team. Time to cut out the dead wood!!
And whos going to buy them when insurance companies wont take on new risks due to the earthquake prone risk of Wellington. No insurance, no bank loan, no buyers!
There should be parity of the rates to services provided. The WCC and GWRC have continually increased rates even though they fail to maintain basic infrastructure, for example, all those water leaks around the city left unpaired while telling people to conserve water during a dry spell!
Labour...the government that keeps on taking and screwing the productive people...while handing out welfare to the lazy ones and keeping criminals in the country!
Haha, what a joke! ACC is confident there is only a small number of claims but cant produce the info to back it up! just another bunch of overpaid incompetent pencil pushers!!! lol
So no restrictions on capital gains but I cant claim losses unless its against capital gains instead of income...how is that fair unless I can do the reverse and say you cant tax my capital gains until Ive had some losses, whenever that might be!
Also raise the age a person can go for a drivers licence to 18 years old! Teenagers are not intellectually or emotional mature right to handle a motor vehicle. Also need compulsory third party insurance and keep a it on the registration record to track non compliance!Until the government grows a pair and toughen up the laws these deaths on our roads wil only continue to go up!
and now we have Labour adding another $700 million write off each year for free tertiary education with no bonding for these students to stay and contribute to the economy or society after they graduate!
There was no issues or very few at least, most of it is a personal dislike of the previous operators! Just as it was with kiwirail, it is well known by insiders of GWRCs dislike of kiwirail, thats why Fran Wilde was ousted as she was an advocate for kiwirail. instead the service is now in foreign hands.
Wow, doesnt these salaries look outrageous and then throw in all the perks for travel, limos, accom etc and their total packages are double the salaries!Yet they have the audacity to say there is no more money for the nurses, teachers, police or firefighters!
We can afford heating, but we still tell our kids to put on extra layers or blankets instead of turning on the heating unless its absolutely freezing. They need to learn that we should use what is free to us instead of needlessly wasting money.Same goes for those who buy their kids fizzy drinks or juices etc when tap water is perfectly fine and free!
if I was your boss and said youre getting the rate of inflation for your pay rise, would you stay...if not, then pack your bags and leave the country...easy for you to do???
Poorly performing CEO and management more like it!Its not like we are in GFC situation so blaming it on the projects just reflects badly on the people steering the ship!I think these companies are just getting lazy and greedy, and it is the hard workers caught in the fallout from mismanagement!!
I think itll take 6 months to a year before they can resolve the issues, all they are doing at the moment is applying band aid fixes.I feel sorry for those who rely on the buses, Wellington buses have gone from one of the best to one of the worst in the country.
