What a load of rubbish. Supporting and encouraging parents to have kids. Not for me thanks. And the winter benefit is just a huge waste. Really its just raising Super. Might as well take the money from the hospitals to pay for it. Ugh

National are fiddling after 9 years and will continue to allow a small % of farmers to intensify and pollute our environment. Labour would like to make NZ Clean and green, AGAIN. ONLY ONE CHOICE TOMORROW IMO.

Alternatively you could go to Seek (https://www.seek.co.nz/investor/employment-report) and see job ads are up.
It will be the post election numbers that will be interesting especially if Labour takes us back to the 1970's

Long and interesting article in the Irish Times about the invention of Baileys Irish Cream in 1973. Two guys went looking for a cream drink based on a bottle of Irish whiskey and a jar of cream. It took a lot of hard work and the addition of chocolate. The name came from over the door of small scruffy establishment next door to one they were entering and the preceding initials, from another firm. The sales of this stuff is now into the billions of bottles but the interesting part of the success story is that, as a new export product it was exempt from tax for ten years. Maybe if we could accept that major tax incentives can benefit a country we might make some progress.
