Same could probably said for all politician trips regardless of party.

That is something I miss and why I dont watch the news. I have no interest in some air heads opinion. (and some balance would be nice - not just a journalists one sided view.)

If you had listened to the Hosking/Ardern interview this morning you would have heard her say it is surprising how quickly these expenses add up. She wasn't that concerned about it as the system applies to all party's.
And who paid for the mail out Jacinda made some months ago? Just an example. I didn't see you moaning about that. But then you are very selective in what you see.
Do you notice your lack of support on this thread and others where you adopt the same stance when it is out of place.

Int discussion wth XERO managing director Chris Hudson on national radio this morn.
Data on small business insight
Small business , 20 employees or less make up re 29%of gdp
Core platform data from 300,000 subscriptions analysed into 5 metrics
More and more accurate data then the govt has and it will be released every 4 months
XERO are highlighting a part of the economy that hasn't had the light of day for a long time.
Small business doing better than last year, with a 7-10% growth
Hiring over and above the national average
Month on month there is a slight slowing from a gallop to a canter but that could be seasonality, winter construction etc.
Time to being paid has improved 5.1% a very positive metric
A very different story on where business confidence is. A political football being kicked around. Small business is stable, a glass half full positivity. But this is being undermined. The gloomy perceptions being pushed by media and the opposition, putting doubt into small business minds, talking ourselves into a hole. Its actually going well and they are looking to hire more staff but because of what they are hearing through the media maybe they won't hire. talking ourselves into gloominess. false perception can become reality.
Thats what i call being traitor to your country, pushing the fake news ,like some are...

Maybe those same small business owners (probably many are Xero users) should be more honest in answering a few questions on business confidence surveys.

A post worthwhile of Mr Erdogan ... you should be ashamed of yourself. Anybody who disagrees with your incredible one sided views is a traitor - really?
BTW - just in case you want to open your mind ...
Have a look into the state of the construction industry. Lots of SME's. Are they doing well - really?
Have a look at transport. Lots of SME's - and they just start feeling the bite from increased petrol taxes in combination with rapidly increasing petrol prices - courtesy to a government driving our currency down.
Have a look at education - government killing off high performing charter schools and destroying jobs just to make sure the teachers unions get a still better grip to strangle and blackmail the country.
And just wait until all these pay rises come through. Ever thought who is going to pay for them? Yes, correct - another burden for SME's - either direct on the wage-list or indirect with still higher taxes.

See i what i mean a typical miserable half empty glass trying to drag everything down to his negative level and beating them with experience.
A shining example of false perception. the way a traitor thinks.
If you bothered to be open to read the above its about NEW data aboutthe 29% GDP created by small business which is doing well but being pushed into doubt by political falsehoods. Careful what you wish for.
