Im starting to take a dim view of Super. As per recent data, it makes young people poorer and old people richer. Plus Super funds are doing dodgy things like investing in housing funds, driving up housing costs. This circles around to my constant point that business is the only true way to generate wealth.

I used trademe to gauge market rent when setting my rent.
I liked to position myself on the lower side of market rent and get the best, most stable tenant available.
I have dropped the rent on occasion when I've thought rents have come back. Last time was from $450pw down to $425pw for a working mum with two kids. She was a first class tenant and I was happy to reduce the rent rather than risk her feeling she was paying to much by looking at trademe and making comparisons. She stayed for four years, constant rental income for me, no vacancies and my house looked after as if it was hers. Win-win.
jeez, the greens are having a pretty shit run of it lately.

i’m surprised they’re even at school and not staying out all night doing ramraids on vape shops.
I had never thought of "survivorship bias" when it comes to funds. Makes sense though
I read Barefoot Investor a few years ago. Portions of the book are for Australian readers only, but there are some really powerful messages in there about compounding interest, index funds and fund manager fees. Worth reading even if you have a good understanding of financial markets

We just tar all kids from an area as being trouble makers? Esp ones that might actually be going to school.kids in palmerston north. i have a farm there i spend a few days a week at. so many trouble makers. not surprising when gang members are killing each other in their driveways in their cars with their kids is it?

Where do you see solutions coming from?
Is it youth boot camps, or maybe a less secure work environment (ala ACTs new employment relation changes), or maybe the changes to welfare and changing criteria to get into state and emergency housing?
Or is it the new low pay offer to police, while Australia is on a recruitment drive?
Or the austerity in a recession, driving a longer recession and higher unemployment?
not at all, i didn’t say that, i did say i’m surprised kids are even at school. and not out knocking over palmy businesses. i know a lot of business owners there and everyone says the same thing.
i don’t know what the solutions are, youth boot camps?! jesus no. and i would almost certainly disagree with anything ACT say. aside from that end of life choice thing anyway.
all the options you list are from the past few months? youth crime has sky rocketed the last few years.
these kids are not answerable to anyone. they don’t give a fuck. what does more support do? nothing so far.
what does harsh punishment do aside from make better more angry criminals?
whatever happens it’ll take generations to change.
some people are just shitty.
it’s not always poverty or colonization or lack of police.
I was at the HR NZ awards dinner last night and the mood was very much pro te reo, anti-redneck, honour the treaty etc.

No offence but that doesn't address the underlying philosophy at all.

I'd give them commendations tbh.
For spitting on someone?
not a real surprise we have children acting the way they do when we have adults with views like that is it?
He wasn't spat on. The ground in front of him was spat on.
Whole fifferent meaning,
if you know you know.
I don't know the meaning other than disrespectful from a schoolboy to an adult he doesn't even know.
Those condoning this behaviour should be ashamed.
