Increase in benefits & increased minimum wages chewed up by increased cost of living, especially housing.
In desperation, watch this government bring in ever more repressive policies against hard working NZers & wealth creators while piling on ever more benefits to their voter base.
And yes, more distractions by favoring Maoris to retain that voting bloc and stay in power to destroy the future of NZ for future generations.
Those without a brain move to Australia under different assessment than those with high level of skills who choose to move there because of the much higher pay. Registered nurses are a skilled category - they move to Australia NOT under the Trans-Tasman agreement. They move there under a proper 'work visa' that entitles them PR and a direct path to obtaining Australian citizenship.
That does depend upon whether the person intends to permanently move to Australia, and whether they are certain they wish to be tied to their employer. When we moved to Australia, despite our roles being in the high skill category, we elected to go via the SCV route, on the premise that if we intended to stay long-term and pursue citizenship we could always leave and return again using a different visa. In the unlikely event of things turned to custard while we were there would could have always returned to NZ.

50% next year, then 25% (23/24) and 0 24 onwards.
So anyone raising rents on the back of a change that hasn't happened is being disingenuous at best.
They are restricted to raising rents by the self-regulating market imposed limits. That is how the world works. They can't suddenly increase rents because tax rules are changing. But rents will rise in time as the rental pool dries up because of the increased difficulty in making a profit - which will eventually drive rents. Supply and demand - study it.
