Labour govt 2020-23

[whatsup]

What an absolute joke this country has become under this useless & unkind Government ;

“We are a family in CRISIS!
We arrived from Hungary 6 years ago, under the Entrepreneur’s Visa, keen to set up a business
and re-establish our Family in New Zealand.
We have been successful in business:
⦁ The largest catering business on the Kapiti Coast, PartyPerfect.
⦁ A popular destination ANZIL Hungarian Restaurant.
⦁ Distribution of quality cheese and dried meats on local markets.
All of these enterprises have been successful, achieved through hard work.
These businesses all have a great reputations as well as being profitable.
In addition, we have often used our various enterprises in support of local charities within the
community.
AND NOW THE BAD NEWS
During the six years, we have attempted to negotiate towards ‘the light at the end of the tunnel’,
NZ Residency.
Unfortunately our dealings with the Immigration Department we have had a procession of 7 different case officers, each time taking us back to the start, answering the same set of questions. We have been lost in the labyrinth of Immigration.
On November 28th (after 6 years) finally our Application for Residency was rejected and we were
informed, that unless some new path was found we will have to exit New Zealand in 42 days.
Our family are heart broken, we have worked hard, paid tax and we love this country, and this
action is simply NOT FAIR.

Please sign this petition in of support of the battle for our Residency and prove that what we do is viable and needed,
Ivett, Andras and their sons Andor, Szilard and Gergo”

I know those people, have had dinner at that restaurant and had them cater for us in a group event. This is unconscionable from the Immigration Department. This makes my blood boil.

First, sign the petition.

Second, make sure the media, especially TV3, plays the story on prime time.

I have done both above.

Don’t get mad, get going.

This government prefers beneficiaries who breed like rabbits and feed off the state rather than hard working, law abiding and self motivated individuals who want to get ahead in life through their own efforts.

How have you 'made sure the media, especially TV 3, will play the story at prime-time'?

By cc other news media in my email.

That usually works as they are all hungry for such a story at the very same time that Ardern, the clueless & useless spin mistress, hates such stories.

Outcry resulted in this family being allowed to stay in NZ, continue with their excellent restaurant in St Heliers Auckland and create jobs & opportunites for other NZers.

Peter Dunne's view of the Labour's devious maneuverings over the 5 waters entrenchment.

https://honpfd.blogspot.com/2022/11/...sat-under.html

Here's the guts of it

"But things are never that simple. After Cabinet, the Prime Minister announced that the matter was being referred to Parliament’s Business Committee to see whether agreement on the amendment’s future could be reached. Now the Business Committee, which meets weekly and comprises all parties, determines the order of business in the House for the coming week. It does not deal with, let alone, resolve policy issues. Yet, here was the Business Committee, which operates on near-unanimity amongst its members, being asked – quite improperly – to decide a policy issue on behalf of the government. I was a member of the Business Committee for more than twenty years and never saw it used in this way.

The government’s game-plan was immediately clear. It knew National and ACT disagreed with the Greens’ amendment, so there was no prospect of agreement, let alone anything approaching near-unanimity. That would give Labour an excuse to withdraw its support, framing the argument that they had no option because of National and ACT. At the same time, they tried to paint the picture that by opposing the amendment National and ACT were effectively not ruling out water privatisation in the future.

According to Labour’s framing, this laid the fault for what had happened firmly at National’s and ACT’s doors. Under this narrative, it was nothing to do with the Greens who promoted it, nobly trying to save water assets from rapacious National and ACT. Nor was it anything to do Labour that blindly and unthinkingly supported the Greens’ amendment. The strategy is as devious as it is deceitful. And its resolution will consequently be more drawn out, meaning the situation will linger longer in the public mind. "

Clear and transparent? Or as Dunne puts it....devious and deceitful!

Well, I don't know them, but based on the publicly available information do they definitely sound like people we would like to have more of in NZ.

Hard working people paying taxes and creating jobs - no, we can't have that, the islands are already full and Panda wants to be undisturbed at his favorite fishing spot, never mind the catering.

This fits well into the established behaviour pattern of our anti immigration government. But lets not forget, even here are inward looking populists in our country and even on this thread who rejoiced with every nurse, every GP and every essential laborer getting kicked out of NZ. Covid was a real push into the arm for xenophobe mindsets.

We all will pay the bill for this stupid and disgraceful behaviour when our industry is running out of workers, no matter whether we are talking hospitality, tourism, agriculture, education, manufacturing and design, healthcare or age care.

Anyway - I signed the petition. Might be worthwhile if somebody from that area talks as well with the local MP.

Be very surprising if they have not already sought the help of their local MP.

Would be even more surprising if their local MP (see below) is of any help - looks like one of the diversity for diversity sake Labour clueless MPs.
