"Joshing: (adj.) the act of punching some smart little shit's teeth out when he's trying to film a dodgy deal at the pub, he deserved it tho let's face it". -Webby's DictionaryThanks mate. Is that before or after FPAs??
Sorry mate. Only joshing
Hahaha. You're a funny guy w3d.
They would also have to take into account in some households, one person could be semi-retired, or work part-time, or be self employed and not draw a large income. I’m glad I don’t have to work out the figures… to quote my dearly departed mother, “it would do my head in!!!”
All good mate.Thanks mate. Is that before or after FPAs??
Sorry mate. Only joshing
Pisses me off when they do that. My ex brother-in-law was an executive for Auckland Transport. He was constantly taking credit for projects which started before he was employed by them. He also kept going on about public transport, cycle lanes and changes to low emission vehicles. His “company car” was a hybrid….. his private car was a Falcon FPV GT.
Un,fuckin,believable.
That’s what happens when you put all your eggs in chinas basket. They have looked totally inward and as our biggest trading partner, we’re feeling the effects.Yesterday’s 0.3 decline in GDP in just the September quarter makes New Zealand the worst-performing economy in the developed world. And we’re forecast to be worst next year as well
Even then, the result was inflated by record net migration, despite yet another massive brain-drain.
Per person, GDP fell an extraordinary 0.9 per cent in just three months.
On an annual basis, GDP fell 0.6 per cent. That compares with our main trading partners all growing respectably over the same period: Australia up 2.2 per cent; the US up 3.0 per cent; and China up 4.9 per cent.
The mind boggles at how bad the data would have been had the previous Government not also cynically flooded the economy with borrowed cash.
Covidto long ago;cyclonesa year ago;Russia/Ukraine warcan’t use that one anymore either; what about Jacinda/Robertson simply did not understand how the world works…
On a positive note I hear National plans to announce they intend to double exports in 10 years. Thats a plan that will create wealth and fund social services. And one that we can hold them to account on because they will still be in govt then, because of the last 6 lost years!

You conveniently forget that a lot of those businesses would have been completely fucked without hand outs during CovidCovid; cyclones; Russia/ Ukraine war;China?
Maybe that’s just what happens when you adjust all the economic settings to be anti business while business has no resilience after covid.
Sort of like reconfiguring the health system in a pandemic. Daft.
And before you say they couldn’t have known how it was going to turn out - I was very vocal saying exactly this would happen
Businesses all round the world got assistance through covid, with left or right governments.You conveniently forget that a lot of those businesses would have been completely fucked without hand outs during Covid
Did any of your businesses get assistance
If Luxon feels it’s necessary to take credit for a bridge his government wasn’t responsible for, let’s wait for him to also take responsibility for a recession the previous government was responsible for. Politics 101…. accept the good (even when you didn’t do it) and blame everything else on the previous government. And who said Luxon would learn the tricks for being a PM.Surely not
I thought we had just elected the best Government the country will ever see!
The mind boggles at how much rubbish you write. How about cancelling those ferries eh? You know, the ones that National should have implemented 8 years ago and we wouldn't be in this mess. And where's the cost benefit analysis, not to mention assessment of reputation damage? Oh that's right, there is none.Yesterday’s 0.3 decline in GDP in just the September quarter makes New Zealand the worst-performing economy in the developed world.

Yeah great idea. Let's get some unbiased reasonable discussion goingI takes years for policies…
Never mind, I will head over to my Facebook economic group and talk to people with logic and analytical skills
Well Labour were reeming Kiwirail about the cost overruns and would have in all likelihood pulled the pin as well.
I quoted that original post based off a herald article.
