    You don't understand the nature of the industry, that is obvious. KO don't employ tradesmen, they manage contracts. Building contractors are mostly self employed, not many builders are on wages anymore. Developers are not contractors, they tender the job out, usually split between construction...

    KO should not be building to ' mop up the trades fleeing to Aus'. Nor is it their brief to maintain or expand the building sector. Perhaps they should buy a forest and harvest their own logs as well. Miket12 is pointing out the net increase in new stock units, that is all. KO employ staff to...
  3. General 1995 Home Jersey Signed

    No idea of value. You would be best to auction it on trademe or here maybe. I think there are collectors on this forum that would be interested.

    Will you need to get some sort of license? Hearing stories from a couple of people I know that have been in the business a long time and they can't sell bush pot this year. Don't know if it is cost of living related or people growing a plant or two of their own seeing the penalty if caught is...
  5. Social A Weighty Issue

    I've been told many times I should challenge myself, get out of my comfort zone, try something new. Usually the people urging me on might be good at one thing but fuck all else and don't take their own advice in the areas they lack. It's good to be within my comfort zone, know my limitations...
  6. Recruitment Warriors 2024/2025 Recruitment & Retention

    Less than Matt Lodge and he got a free year. Not the way we do business, low balling the best player in his position.

    The value of props must have tanked in the last 24hours for that figure to be true. I don't believe that is anywhere near the figure he signed for.

    Credit and thanks to the owners and CG for what they have done over the last few years. They could have gone for an establish FG coach but went for AW which has proved a master stroke. The signings since have been excellent, beyond our expectations.

    JFH is neoliberal, you are now converted. Welcome.

    Not a direct answer to your post Rizzah, but might be helpful. There are few greenfield opportunities for KO around Auckland. Most medium to large subdivisions don't want KO among them and covenant against them. KO aquisitions are mainly brownfield developments with KO taking all the units...

    Soccer enforce their offside rule and it works well. One millimeter offside is offside. Missing 38 offsides indicates at least half the game was played with a team offside. Worse still is to the penalise a critical offside play when others have been let go.

    KO are $12-$13billion in debt but the true figure will be revealed when Bill English gets to the bottom of it. You can call bullshit on KO competing with FHB as much as you like but it is the reality and something they are very aware of. It is simple to figure out. KO has big budget for housing...

    KO are up to their neck in debt. Giving them a blank cheque is a dumb idea. They very quickly become the dominant player in the housing market at entry level driving prices up and making it yet more difficult for first home buyers who end up competing with the State.

    People may watch it because of habit but really the content has to improved and Stuff reporting is not great. One or two good columns only.

    Utterly corrupt, that last regime.

    Sounds great in theory, not in practice. Having lived on only tank water, a family will need to be able to store at least 15000 gallons or they will run dry. How do you do that in multi unit developments with no backyard to speak of, or apartments?

    There is here. We only build pretty small stuff. Wouldn't be surprised if supply military, we supply UN.

    It is but the market would be tight in this economy. We are a leader in recreational boats especially alloy pontoon boats. Several established builders exporting world wide, mostly from Invercargill.

    Yep. Get a beer crate, stand on top of it on a street corner and tell the truth.

    Spot on, but I don't trust ANY Govt. Any media platform is an opportunity for politicians.
