    Only parasites, beneficiaries and losers being bred by this government in the hundreds of thousands left in Aotearoa by 2050.

    There is a “mass exodus” of people leaving the residential building industry and some businesses have lost up to 80 per cent of their work, says the boss of a leading company.

    The news comes as a building association across the Tasman says Australia “needs to attract around half a million workers” in the next four years.
    Mass exodus of construction workers to Australia.

    ———

    So on the building sites you end up with violent criminals wearing ankle bracelets who are supposed to serving home detentions + legions of unskilled migrant workers.

    (Meanwhile 90,000+ Kiwi ‘job seekers’ are apparently ‘desperately trying to find work’.)

    Speaking of exodus, it will be time to buy Air NZ if there is no change of government this election.

    They will have to lease extra planes to cope with the demand to get out of here!

    The Warehouse looks to close three Christchurch stores

    RNZ
    14:40, Jul 23 2023

    ‘Workers at three major retail stores at a Christchurch shopping centre have been left shocked by a proposal to close all three.

    The Warehouse Group is proposing to close The Warehouse, Warehouse Stationery and Noel Leeming at the Northwood Supa Centa in September, because of a decline in customers.

    First Union southern regional secretary Paul Watson said the closures of the three stores would affect about 90 jobs.’

    Smart move - taking his $100m out of NZ.

    First come, best dressed.

    As more and more rich listers leave NZ for Australia and beyond, there will be more and more sale of assets (especially real restate) from them - so who is going to be dumb enough to buy off them in the years to come?

    Excerpt :

    "One of the country’s biggest private retail real estate investors is quitting New Zealand for Australia - sparking a $100m sell-off.

    Ben Cook boasts a portfolio stretching from Auckland to Central Otago including a string of Countdown supermarkets, and Bunnings in New Lynn, Hamilton and Westgate.

    He also owns iconic Auckland buildings like the Ponsonby Post Office, Farmers on Queen St in the CBD, Northcote’s Engine Room restaurant and Britomart’s red brick Brew on Quay.

    But he is now using his Sydney home as a base and says he doesn’t plan on returning to New Zealand, cutting his holdings in one $50 million-plus auction alone next month."

    ‘It’s four weeks after the fuel tax excise duty cut came to an end and fuel prices have been relatively stable – but be warned, they’re about to climb again.’

    All the best to Tamzyn on her permanent move to Australia.

    The new school curriculum proposed by this clueless government is the last straw for her and good on her to think about getting the best for her school age children.

    Who wants their children to be bred by this government to be half-wits, losers, parasites and beneficiaries?

    The decision to move to Brisbane in September is personal too. Adding and her husband have four school-aged daughters.

    “Seeing the new education curriculum come through was pretty much the straw that broke the camel’s back for me,” she said.

    The curriculum is the last straw for us too. I have read the current draft and it is shocking. If it wasn't for the fact we want our kids to grow up with other kids in the same neighbourhood they would be at private school. That said, if we don't get a change of government, and more importantly, a change of mindset, I feel that we are going to leave NZ. Its not just the education system, but mismanagement of the economy and misappropriation of govt spending, frankly racist policies and justice policies that treat the offenders as the victims

    This from Sir Colin Maiden, one of NZ's most successful businessman and pioneering entrepreneurs :

    "But Sir Colin reserves some of his strongest recommendations for the sector he perhaps knows best, education. For productivity gains, he says, emphasis should be given in schools to the teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

    Sir Colin told the Herald that one of his grandsons had been back living in New Zealand with his Slovenian wife and 8-year-old twins. “They got totally disillusioned with the standard of education,” he says. Kiwi kids, according to his grandson, were “way behind” in maths and even English compared with their Slovenian counterparts of the same age. “They talked to the headmaster about it, and he acknowledged that was the case but they had to, being part of the education system, follow [the curriculum].” That grandson, he says, is “rather pessimistic” about New Zealand’s direction and is now back living in Europe."

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/...A7FSN3O4UFBQE/

    What a damning indictment of how this government has been dumbing down education to bring down standards to the lowest levels rather than lifting education to the highest standards. It's all a case of breeding dumbos so that these useless and clueless Labour politicians (and the elite Maori cabal) can lord it over everyone. In the land of the blind, the one eye person is king - that's Labour's desire for NZers.

    Hipkins and the third police minister in 1 year, Ginny Andersen, are very confident NZ will not lose police officers to Queensland.

    How confident are NZers in their judgement?

    https://www.1news.co.nz/2023/08/08/f...to-queensland/

    30% immediate pay increase (to $98k for new officers) plus $20,000 relocation allowance plus accommodation allowance to relocate to Queensland.

    But best of all, no woke policing by consent. No need to learn teo reo to get promotions.

    Watch the exodus over the next 12 months.

    Kiss Queensland arse, Hipkins & Andersen.
