Our real minimum in ppp terms is above Canada's but below Australia's.

And still they bang on about the "living wage" which has only increased wage costs with no increase in productivity

I have no problem with them having four kids. But why does it now become my problem when they figure out a roof over their heads might be handy.
Because one day you could get into the same position, and in any case a society is judged on how it looks after the most powerless.
Decently paid jobs are the problem in general, for that we need good profit margins for businesses, and that means innovation. National doesn't quite know what that means.
Ardern calling National out on the lies and fearmongering.

Innovation can allow productivity, and it allows a margin. Then employers don't need to pay just above the minimum wage. Taxes are generally applied to profits, and GST is tax neutral to a business. I guess I am talking about exporting businesses, an ideal where foreign exchange is being brought in. Allied to those, the service businesses they'll need.

Only if you believe in phallocentrism.
Truly powerful men and women look after the suffering, those down on their luck, the weak and needy.

Increasing the living wage with static productivity, redistributes wealth reversing the trend in the gini disparity. Is stagnating productivity the result of inefficient and ineffective investment of capital in NZ?
