National - FFS!

The point is it costs a very large sum of dosh so just do away with all the aniversary days to make up for it, they mean diddly squat.

And the sooner the better.

Soon will take quite a while.

Once people have something they dont want to give it up again.

And don’t the Māoris know that which is why they are going for everything they can get with Ardern.

And Ardern is bending backwards and forwards, whichever way they want, as long as she gets to stay in power to perpetuate her disasters on NZ.

And whose stab in the dark is $450m of additional costs? Luxon?

It was published in the media as the cost to the economy of a national holiday.

Do they add in the amount spent by people having a day off?
Also, a lot of so-called lost production is actually made up later by having happier staff.

Thankyou for the article, as for reading and comprehension like I said a stab in the dark. A $178m range and double the $200m forecast by the EMA back in September.
Luxon of course quoted the top figure.

Haha - as I suspected all along, your head is too full of Ardern’s spins going round and round in your indoctrinated head to read properly.

Read again after you take a few deep breaths and your head stops spinning:

“Last year the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment calculated the impact on 534,930 businesses giving their staff an extra day off to be between $377m and $448m - or between 0.35 and 0.42 per cent of 2019's wage bill of $107 billion.

That figure is double the $200m the Employers and Manufacturers Association (EMA) forecast when Labour made its Matariki election promise in September.”

Regardless of the $ number which either way is very large, it's this that really underpins the discontent:

"It's the first time the Government has revealed the potential cost of adding a 12th public holiday to the calendar despite receiving the advice last term."

Transparency, honesty, truth. All lacking, can't believe a word they say.

[dln]

Just think how much we could save by cancelling ALL public holidays!

Racist nonsense!
