I know what you're saying, but lollies cost money. Is there money in the bank this term for stuff like that?

Maybe we could try digging for some treasure? Perhaps in the Taranaki?

If there's one law of nature in NZ politics - I mean, other than that Winston is a vampire - it's that the involvement of Darien Fenton always improves everything!

Sharma suspended from Labour caucus
What Jacinda said last night: “We will essentially have the opportunity to come together as a team. It does not constitute a full caucus unless everyone is invited so of course, for natural justice, Gaurav Sharma would be a part of that meeting." What Jacinda didn't say: I am calling a special meeting before the caucus meeting, and everyone except Guarav Sharma will be attending that meeting, and then we will have the caucus meeting, at a time when I know Sharma can not attend Quote:

Government says immigration tweaks will help relieve workforce pressures
I have no problem with letting more workers in but exemptions to the median wage requirement is some National Party bullshit.

Housing is finally starting to make some progress
'Market well and truly flipped': Supply jumps, house prices fall 43,100 more homes built in the past year (net of demolitions) - all time record. Enough to house about 110,000 people (av household is 2.55). Population up only 12,700 New Zealand's housing deficit shrinking fast. Down to 22,000. Could be gone in early 2023. The Government Housing Programme completed a record 817 homes in June, (200 a week!), bringing total number of homes built to 13,767. 5,300 currently under construction. There are now 10,000 more state and community housing homes than five years ago. Record build rate.

Pretty much how it had to be done, right? Sell the public a story of magically fixing housing (vs there's no housing crisis to fix), cause we're not interested otherwise. And then do the unflattering, sound-bite unfriendly work behind the scenes to slowly turn things around.

Definitely would like to see that happen.
With the two big neo-liberal parties calling the shots I'm not holding my breath.

NZ says no to taxes once again.
Ah well, it's not like the government needs money for anything.

The taxpayer is better with their money than the state.

That explains our high levels of expensive private debt and low levels of cheap public debt.
Better the bathroom is refurbished than the local hospital.

Ugh, you're so shrill.
A few people get a bathroom, the rest of us have to deal with the consequences of missing out on cost-effective healthcare. Are exploited by those who advertise debt as a release from some of that pressure, further concentrating wealth, further exacerbating problems. That bureaucracy is slow, that RoI takes generations to become apparent, these are poor excuses to tolerate the decline we're facing.

I wasn't sure about it at first, but I'm starting to warm up about this RNZ - TVNZ merger.

The thing I'm warming up to is the hilarity of the merger being costed at $368 million in the budget, when the combined valuations of the two companies, according to their annual reports, is $366 million.
a) we all know that there's no way this is only going to cost $368 million b) by the time it's completed, the value of the two companies will be a fraction of what it is now |
