Or the fact that National have prolonged this manufactured recession through their mass job cuts and cancelling infrastructure projects with no idea of the outcomes. Well, we know now.
So long as it’s unproductive former public servants exiting New Zealand then it’s a great outcome.
It's our kids, a whole generation of the best and brightest. As Luke said in the only Star Wars movie I ever saw, there's nothing for me here now in Tatooine.
Is the trend worse than what it’s been historically in that demographic (I don’t know btw)? Theres plenty of unemployed public servants leaving.
I think so mate, easy to hop the ditch for uni grads and tradies, most of them won't come back.
How are you quantifying unproductive? And why single out public servants?
Unproductive are people getting paid for roles that aren’t required, a good example of that in recent years has been the spike in those employed as public servants down in Wellington.
“I think so” doesn’t cut it - I want the evidence!! Look you’re prob right however I think it’s been an issue for decades, I’d be interested in seeing just how it currently stacks up vs previous periods.
Proof thanks
Yeah just anecdotal really, 2/3 of my daughter's friends from primary schl are in Oz now 20 years later, sample of about 40 kids. She's heading there after graduating midwifery for double the $ and free accomodation, we can't compete. Wouldn't be surprised if that's representative of current trends but I don't know the official data compared to previous decades either. Seems a helluva lot more to me than the traditional OE.
It’s tough having the lucky country as our neighbour.
I think he's saying those are the ones who increase the IQ of both countries, so it's no loss.
At a macro level - those employed as public servants compounded at 4.9% p.a. across Labours 2 term period. Interestingly hasn’t fallen under the current government however a lot of restructuring supposedly.
Pretty sure I know what he's saying
and what bias is behind it...His talking points are straight from Atlas HQ, we're onto him. He's David Seymour isn't he, the jig's up Dave.Pretty sure I know what he's saying
Generalising hate against an easy target of the right is fairly lame though. Finding root cause of your micro complaint might be a better start. After all, neoliberalism has been in charge for 50 years
Generalising hate? What on earth are you on about?
That is so fucking insulting!
