Is the KiwiSaver ‘fiscal hole’ a glitch – or the whole point?
The government’s $3bn saving on KiwiSaver changes may come straight out of workers’ future pay – and it’s no accident.

So who's backing Glenn Inwood and funding these groups, local right wing business interests or some offshore political influence? Who's Vlad Barbalich working for, himself?
I'm not sure. The goal posts keep changing and if Chippie doesn't know, how am I supposed to.
However my wife on the other hand professes to being a woman and I sure as hell don't want to argue the case with her.
As for the pay equity, I'll ask the question again, what exactly is the issue and who is missing out on the Thoracic surgeon wages?
You seem to go low and slow when someone asks for an explanation of your thinking on any issue under debate and instead trot out the same old observers (and I use the term kindly) like Keith The Hacker
I understand his stage name was Vlad The Impaler
I heard he won every round of the latest extreme sport, Impale It Straight

Honestly Rick? You can read. You can clearly use the internet. I provided two links at least
with accurate information. I don’t know enough about this issue to offer any firm opinion, regardless of any goading.
I do know from the opposition on here by certain people that it's a cause worth fighting for simply by the level of ignorance shown by those comments.
I'm sure you can also speak to actual women and find out how things are.
Plenty of factual information for you.
I'd wager it's the right leaning groups

being pro trans doesn’t make a trustworthy or competent politician.
hell, it doesn’t even make a decent person.
i mean shit, look at the current wellington mayor.
i agree with you on how horrible and bigoted people can be but just because somebody is female and of colour doesn’t make them infallible or above criticism.
ray chung is a fucking knob, but anybody would be hard pressed to be a worse mayor than tory whanau.
she never stopped drinking, she self diagnosed herself with ADHD for a way out and only sold her car because she couldn’t seem to be to stop herself drinking and driving.
she won lotto and is payed $190k/pa.
and STILL acts like a cunt?!
and you whinge about people with privilege.
anyway only a few more months and we down here can get on with it.
andrew little will be a great mayor for wellington, im sure.
if he can keep his twin sisters idiot wife from continuing to glue herself to the road that is.

What was the prize she collected?
more than every single other NZer that didn’t win lotto.
I just clicked, she won the lotto by landing that salary. Nice marv
hahaha nice one.
i think i remember hearing or reading it was enough to buy her apartment
which is modest. i know the building pretty well.
but still, having a freehold home is more than most have. especially at her age.
and for what it’s worth, i do think she may have been an okay mayor if she had have been a councilor for a few years first, she just seemed to very quickly find herself in the deep end without anything to offer other than racism, bigotry, or literally anything other than her own failings.
you know, kinda like every time latrell mitchell fucks up, or maims someone.
anyway. wellington has been BUSY the last month or so. green shoots they say. pretty good going, heading into winter proper.
i can say and VERY firmly, all of my business interests bar one (which is kind of a basket case anyway) are trading pretty close to (but not quite) winter 2019 so things are definitely looking up.
best we’re doing since before covid.
blame the government or blame tory whanau saying she’s stepping aside, blame the warriors sitting pretty in the top 4.
i don’t know but things are definitely looking up.
down here, anyway.
Good to hear. You get to hear and see much more being down there and I don’t doubt anything you say, but she inherited a shocking water infrastructure issue down there that’s going to take a long time to fix. Consecutive councils to blame
she absolutely did.
but she also lost the room when after consultation decided to pave over everything that needs replacing with bike lanes no one uses.
i run in a lot of them most days. thorndon quay in particular. you’re lucky to see 10-12 people use it most days.
and as for the half million dollar bike rack outside the council building they were already moving out of, well no one uses that either.
add to that her golden mile pipe dream. it just starts to look like someone self obsessed and wanting her name on something with no real idea of consequence.
turns out she found out the hard way.
had to take the ardern fast exit and jump before pushed and absolve self of accountability.

Ah well, I’m sure everyone has their gripes with council and mayors. That water wastage is criminal though
100% on both!
So if you don't know enough about this or any issue why do you continue to post links and articles and so called factual information from a certain viewpoint. Why not post a few links to the BFD, Kiwiblog or Breaking Views to get a different perspective.
And, you're saying my wife is not an actual woman? Haven't shown her this yet. Bit afraid.
Kiwiblog. Eeyew. I choose to stay away from toxic cesspits. It gets bad enough in here.
Oh and the majority of nasty shit happening here, and abroad? It's really, really not the left.
shes not going to be happy!
you could try and boil it down to neoliberalism.
it’s for the rich by the rich.
it’s who they are!
something like that anyway, apparently.
maybe add in atlas if you get stuck.
Bit of pussy at your place if I remember correctly marv. Bald ones tooshes not going to be happy!
