Saying the economy’s bad because of privatisation is like blaming your haircut for global warming. Lazy and completely missing the bigger picture.
Repeating misinformation doesn’t make it real. Nothings been privatised after 2 years.
Stay out of those biased lefty rabbit holes mate

Repeat this across every govt department. It’s been said before the public department PR people outnumber the people employed in media.
Arguably democracy is broken when govt PR people outnumber the media.
Drain the swamp? You can see how Trump got a foothold when govt gets out of control.

Don't stoop to their level mate.
Sooooo, the plan to save the construction industry is to uncancel a load of non-infrasteucture projects that this government cancelled when they came to power and award them to an Australian contractor

Did we ever have a boom time like 2021?
And then biggest recession in 30 years… is it linked?

The recession was manufactured remember? By the reserve bank
Key Periods and Drivers
- Mid-2010s (Around 2016-2017):
- Drivers: Strong government housing programmes, a chronic shortage of housing, the Canterbury rebuild after the earthquakes, significant population growth due to record net migration, and reforms to the Unit Titles Act.
- Key Aspects: This was described as the biggest ever building boom in terms of investment and activity, with record levels of both residential and commercial building.
- Drivers: Continued demand for housing and commercial spaces, particularly in Auckland, and investment in large projects like the SkyCity International Convention Centre.
- Key Aspects: Auckland saw a massive surge in commercial construction, leading to record building work for the city and contributing to record national levels of construction investment.
- Drivers: Strong government housing programmes, a chronic shortage of housing, the Canterbury rebuild after the earthquakes, significant population growth due to record net migration, and reforms to the Unit Titles Act.
- Auckland:
Consistently accounts for a large portion of New Zealand's construction work, seeing boom periods with significant residential, commercial, and skyscraper construction.
- Canterbury:
The significant rebuild and repair efforts following the 2010/2011 earthquakes created a major boom in the region.
- Other Regions:
While Auckland is often highlighted, booms have also been noted in other high-growth areas like Hamilton and the Queenstown-Lakes district

Leftist media:
Running the numbers on public service PR
It's not news that people doing PR and communications for the state heavily outnumber the journalists who report on the agencies employing them. And journalists know most of those on 'the dark side' get fatter paypackets than they do. But the numbers crunched by RNZ's Phil Pennington shows the...

And the Herald:
'Bloated bureaucracy’: Communications staff increase by 50 per cent since Labour took over
Communications staff working in the core public service have tipped over the 500 mark.
So nice try at rewriting history Mt8… but I produce evidence.

We will see Winston contrasting the rest of the coalition more and more as we head towards the election and I predict he will come across as fed up and can’t see eye to eye by the election.Stuff

Doesn’t happen much but I have to agree with Winston on this one
Then he could go either way as the king maker again. History repeats…

And 2015 saw 13,636, so year upon year a rise under both governments. Unfortunately a sector that employs over 10% of the population needs some stimulating
Interesting that the senior doctors and dentists in the public health system are going on strike for 48 hours for better "pay and conditions". Better conditions... that I understand but better salaries?
The Health Department has said that they have made an offer of $160 million for the current 5,500 senior doctors and dentists.... so an "average" salary increase of $29,000 per doctor/dentist. But, the senior doctors and dentists are saying that amounts to a drop in salary from what they are currently getting when you take inflation into account.
So, a 3% inflation rate for the current year, that means that to get the average $29,000 increase, they're already getting an average of $970,000 PA, just from their jobs in the public system. Those who also moonlight in the private system, will be earning a huge amount more.
Sorry, but this year, they'll be wanting an increase almost as much as I'll earn this year because of how slack the building industry currently is.
I have absolutely no sympathy for them.

You don’t seriously believe the average pay for senior doctors & dentists is nearly $1m do you?

Yeah, the construction sector contraction is almost 20% since the clown coalition took over.
Nope, the governor was kicked to touch by an interfering ruling government who didn't like it when he pushed back. There's more to come there
