I think that’s why they’re seeing the polling they are. The wastage over such cancelled projects has been significant and all their criticisms come across as hypocrisy. Think voters are considering what’s worse, borrowing or wasting

Whatever housing optimism you speak of must have completely bypassed Fletcher Building based on what they were seeing… although seriously would anyone be that surprised?11 of 16 industries mate
And the big 3 - rural sector, tourism and housing ARE NZ.
I was saying to Mike I have been active in the property market and 3 places I put offers on were multi listing scenarios, which was unheard of last year. Anecdotally, things are picking up with the lower interest rates.
Yeah look that prob makes sense. Retirement sector were calling out increased sales. Will take a while for new residential builds to pick up however.
However, we need to stop relying on the housing market as the dominant form of economic engine. RIGHT????

Free Press regrets to inform you that the DEI brigade missed a large oppressed group. This group has disastrous education statistics, lives years less than the national average, in part because of their high suicide rates, and is far more likely to be arrested, charged, sentenced, and imprisoned.
Trading houses amongst ourselves is not a healthy economy. It's no wonder we are in the position we are, we have braindead economics.11 of 16 industries mate

Ps I’m very efficient and purposefully operate where my turnover per employee (GDP per person) is substantial

Nah, I’ve started 11 businesses in 5 different industries over the years.
Entrepreneurship will make NZ’s economy great again. Like it or not, the wealth generated from property funds businesses in lots of cases.
Some of those points might have merit regarding terrible male stats in crime and suicide, but it does look like ACT are engaging in the same divisive culture wars they accuse others of, albeit disguised as some sort of pushback.

Labour got rid of the 2 cents! Nasty People!
Mate….. I’m old enough to remember when 4c would buy a pint of milk and 2c a bag of mixed lollies at the dairy.Labour got rid of the 2 cents! Nasty People!
I remember the 1p
My mother would sometimes give us 20c to buy fish and chips at lunchtime…. but we’d have to bring her back the change.
"The retail price of a pint of milk doubled in February 1976 to 8 cents from 4 cents." Stats NZ.
The beginning of neoliberalism
No, it wasn’t because of inflation but because the government gave the farmers a huge subsidy for milk in order for it to be cheap to export. 1976 was when Muldoon reduced the subsidy.
