Labour / NZ First Government

Taxpayers Union have a view on this living wage ‘initiative’


It is morally questionable to require taxpayers, many of whom don’t earn the living wage, to pay above market wages for government workers.

I'd call it morally reprehensible

[Joshuatree]

Regardless of any motive, its great to see Blue go Green ; sort of.

Nats support climate drive

Who are these Taxpayers Union people? Sounds like a few ACT members.

Assuming you mean Shane Jones, the pompous boof from Winston First, Fonterra has nothing to do with him.

As a politician he has every right to question an almost monopoly organisation that is making exorbitant profits from the NZ public.

Politician. That's going a bit far.

Exorbitant profit last year was down 11%. EBIT was down 15%. I stand corrected. CEO has to go.

Well, he should.

Never mind FP

On the law for nz political averages ( 3 terms in 3 terms out) you have only to endure a left of centre government until 2026.

Doesn't worry me who the govt. is. It's just a matter of modifying your modus operandi to reap the benefits. After all, it is Labour, specifically Bill Rowling, who opened my eyes to the world, and allowed me to acquire a reasonably comfortable life style from a very young age. Nowadays I'm past caring, but socialism as preached by current Labour will not take the country in the right direction. That provides me ample opportunity to taunt their advocates for my own amusement.

What specifically is " the right direction" ?

The opposite of the wrong direction.
