Might be interesting to see how immigration has tracked over the same period

But if you have costs like interest deductibility rules; tenant first rules, significant healthy homes cost, etc that make people not want to be landlords anymore (keep empty or switch to air B&B) then that reduces supply so those changes can push up rent.
Also if you have costs that affect all landlords equally (skyrocketing rates; insurance; mortgage) then if landlords react as a group the price can change without supply and demand as the tenants canāt simply switch to a cheaper option. Ie if costs rise by inflation generally rents will rise by inflation.
āDidnāt look goodā: Parents upset at āunidentifiableā kids' lunches
Parents reported that school lunches were late to arrive and 'went into the rubbish'.
agreed
well, I agree if they act as a group. But in reality, mum and dad landlords don't act as a group. They just try to get the best price and minimise vacancies. It really is a commodity product, and landlords' abilities to influence the market (on their own) is limited and futile to try. Vacancies come up at different times and the best hope is to just get market rent
Fine theoretically if they all band together. But each is beholden to their own situation. If the numbers cease to stack up they either hold their breath for as long as they can with a desired rental rate (and hope not to suffocate) or just sell and find another investment. If they are cashed up and have no finance costs, they can just do a landbank. But these guys wouldn't be affected by interest deductibility anyway

Political games.āDidnāt look goodā: Parents upset at āunidentifiableā kids' lunches

No matter how great it might be we are going to get negative left media saying it wasnāt ready in time; tastes horrible; kids are starving. The anti anything coalition media have an angle, already clearly shown when the changes were announced.
If you didnāt foresee this reaction you donāt understand politics. Expect a trail of articles all week long until the media realise nobody cares about entitled people crying over a free lunch
I know a parent at one of these schools, 2nd day of the food yesterday at a large school in central Auckland. First day of school the day prior, food was half frozen, kids were eating half raw butter chicken. Second day at 2.40pm the lunches still hadn't arrived.Political games.

I understand that there would be teething issues so hopefully this shit is sorted out soon!

I donāt particularly care about how tasty the free lunch is, or whether kids enjoy eating it
But logistically, it really does need to arrive on time and meet food safety from day 1. So people relying on it arenāt stuffed around
Not a major political issue but not a great look for the suppliers

This is where Iām very far left. Prison for food provider execs that do this shit. A bullet for repeat offenders.āDidnāt look goodā: Parents upset at āunidentifiableā kids' lunches

Seen it too many times now in my life, itās just theft. A lot of these companies enter into deals to get paid to collect food scraps.

Yes, but fundamentally centrally planned services never deliver well.
Hospitals, public transport, etc. always struggling to meet demand. And donāt start me on pensioners complaining the govt isnāt paying enoughā¦
If parents provide their kids with lunch it will be what the kids will eat and there dailyā¦

To show Iām politically central, hereās a left issue I support.
Banks shouldnāt be de-banking anyone unless itās illegal.
Our banking institutes are part of a centrally controlled monetary system and everyone should have the opportunity to participate.
I donāt support de-banking petrol stations, mining or even Gloriavale. Access to banking has to be a fundamental right (unless illegal) in an inclusive society.
Go NZ First and stick it to the big banks!
The very definition of fantasy is your first sentence

So you support the ACT liberterian type attitude that banks can decide for themselves? By the rich, for the rich?
Next the banks will be de-banking poor people because they donāt like who they work forā¦ get āem NZ First!
This thread is getting confusing but I will always stick up for middle NZ!

āLabourās Jan Tinettiās attempt to criticise the Governmentās free school lunch programme has backfired after she laid into a burger made when her party was in power.ā
Really highlights the negative at all cost mindset. So predictable from the left
āEmbarrassingā: Tinetti removes social post criticising school lunch made when Labour in power
'I think that this is a hamburger. I am not certain.'

TBF thatās both sides of politics. Laborās intent to use local suppliers is a good one and allows localised quality control. Of course the Natās couldnāt possibly admit that so change must occur.
Butā¦
I see Natās saved $130m streamlining it and so Laborās usual lack of financial discipline cost everyone.

Schools should be able to enter into supply agreements with local cafes / restaurants/ caterers.
There still needs to be some sort of consistent approach though I think. Perhaps an approved national provider list of local cafes/restaurants/caterers. Schools can be given funding per child and its then up to individual schools to manage. Provides flexibility and adaptability that one large national supplier will struggle with usually.
Seems a lot of what Seymour touches ends up looking bit shit. Unfortunately he is needed to form a government. Bit like having to have the Greens if you are on the left.
