Who is Ms Grizzleguts? No don't tell me, I am about to watch the news shortly. Will try and deduce who you mean by that.

We have one of the highest minimum wages in the world.

It is true...higher than some lower than others.

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

We have one of the highest minimum wages in the world.

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

I watched most of that housing programme last night. What labour wont do is adress the problem with the couple in the car who had 4 kids.

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 is the answer eh? The basics of making a profit is you keep expenses under income. You cant do that when taxes go up and wages go up to Living Wage where there is no increase in productivity.

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.

Not if it's making money

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?
