http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/comment/columnists/66223955/odds-stacked-against-skycity
The odds seem to be stacked against those, like SkyCity, at the bottom of the corporate heap.
I've heard that children of SkyCity executives are turning up at their Auckland private schools without having had a decent cafe breakfast. At playtime the kids have to fill their bottles with tap water.
Even worse, Auckland's rising housing market has forced out some executives from Remuera and Herne Bay into nearby ghetto suburbs such as Meadowbank and Westmere, forcing their children to attend decile 9 schools.
The pain is not just being felt in Auckland.
I hear one or two large-scale dairy farmers have actually been forced to pay a bit of tax this year. The worst thing about corporate inequality is the social stigma that the "have nots" like SkyCity must endure.
When SkyCity politely asked the taxpayer for a top-up they were met with a FeroCity of criticism from Kiwis who couldn't believe the AudaCity of a massively wealthy corporation asking for a government SubCity.
But SkyCity is not just a business. As their television PubliCity shows, it is a community, charity and a business - employing people of different EthniCity - rolled into one.
SkyCity simply uses money it makes from gambling and bars to fund charities to help combat social evils like gambling addiction and alcoholism.
And Prime Minister John Key was dead right to warn New Zealanders that without the state top-up, the convention centre would be an eyesore, which will be rebranded as SkySore.
That's a pity because as any architect knows, some of the world's most beautiful buildings are convention centres.
That's why tourists flock to Guangzhou, Ottawa and Houston just to see them. Imagine Wellington without the gorgeous Winter Show Buildings, Queens Wharf Events Centre or Renouf Foyer in the Michael Fowler Centre.
Sadly, journalist Mike Hosking, who freely admits his previous commercial links with SkyCity in a disclaimer on his column, was the lone voice to demonstrate the public benefits of SkySore.

The assistance Farmers get is the usually the deferral of tax payments and in extreme cases assistance with living costs for their family...not a hand out to build a bigger milking shed.

ANNOUNCEMENT
The English are feeling the pinch in relation to recent terrorist threats and have therefore raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved."
Soon, though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross." The English have not been "A Bit Cross" since the blitz in 1940 when tea supplies nearly ran out. Terrorists have been re-categorized from "Tiresome" to "A Bloody Nuisance." The last time the British issued a "Bloody Nuisance" warning level was in 1588, when threatened by the Spanish Armada.
The Scots have raised their threat level from "Pissed Off" to "Let's get the Bastards." They don't have any other levels. This is the reason they have been used on the front line of the British army for the last 300 years.
The French government announced yesterday that it has raised its terror alert level from "Run" to "Hide." The only two higher levels in France are "Collaborate" and "Surrender." The rise was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed France's white flag factory, effectively paralyzing the country's military capability.
Italy has increased the alert level from "Shout Loudly and Excitedly" to "Elaborate Military Posturing." Two more levels remain: "Ineffective Combat Operations" and "Change Sides."
The Germans have increased their alert state from "Disdainful Arrogance" to "Dress in Uniform and Sing Marching Songs." They also have two higher levels: "Invade a Neighbor" and "Lose."
Belgians, on the other hand, are all on holiday as usual; the only threat they are worried about is NATO pulling out of Brussels.
The Spanish are all excited to see their new submarines ready to deploy. These beautifully designed subs have glass bottoms so the new Spanish navy can get a really good look at the old Spanish navy.
Americans meanwhile and as usual are carrying out pre-emptive strikes, on all of their allies, just in case.
And in the southern hemisphere...
New Zealand has also raised its security levels - from "baaa" to "BAAAA!". Due to continuing defense cutbacks (the airforce being a squadron of spotty teenagers flying paper aeroplanes and the navy some toy boats in the Prime Minister's bath), New Zealand only has one more level of escalation, which is "I hope Australia will come and rescue us".
Australia, meanwhile, has raised its security level from "No worries" to "She'll be right, mate". Three more escalation levels remain: "Crikey!', "I think we'll need to cancel the barbie this weekend" and "The barbie is cancelled". So far no situation has ever warranted use of the final escalation level.

Because "he" is prime minister and the electorate has a right to know where his loyalties lie especially when he makes decisions that could "suggest" conflict of interest!
No other reason unless there is some standing law to the contrary - of which I make no claim to know!

When you say "suggest" does that mean that it's not a suggestion, or is it irony, or is it that you have no idea how to use quotation marks?
Notwithstanding that, a look at the Electoral Act would have put your fevered mind at rest. Whereas a person with dual citizenship can stand for parliament, once elected, an MP cannot swear allegiance to any other foreign power.
See the case of Harry Duynhoven in 2003 - he nearly lost his seat.

True - but given his decision to commit New Zealand soldiers and lives to the USA cause it does raise the possibility of a conflict of interest. If DonKey says "NO" to the question - there is no issue. If he says "Yes" there may well be an issue and his loyalty is in question.

Not quite.
Candidates for US citizenship through naturalization are forced to renounce their previous citizenship at the United States naturalization ceremony.
The renouncing of one’s previous citizenship is part of the oath that new US citizens must take, and failing to honor that oath could result in the loss of citizenship in the United States.

ey said that it was “very easy” for most people to underestimate the threat from Nauru’s population of a mere 9,300, tiny economy, insolvent national bank, small-scale phosphate mining, economic reliance on Australia, 21 square kilometre total land area, 97% obesity rate, kidney and heart disease epidemics, and fully functional runway that takes up the entire length of one side of the island.
He said Nauru possessed a military that was ‘highly unpredictable’, in that there was no evidence that it currently exists.
“I think that’s one thing that, in our work, we’ve found to be very suspicious,” said Key. “Frankly, when you look at most nations, you can say ‘okay, we’re not 100% sure about this or that, but we know their general capability, their numbers, that kind of thing, et cetera.’
“When you look at Nauru, you find nothing, and you have to ask: ‘what are they hiding?’”

Couldn't help wondering - Why Cameron Slater went off to Israel following the (Nicky Hager thing) and who paid for his trip? - it just sort of swept along unquestioned!
Strange I thought! So I did a Google:https://aotearoaawiderperspective.wordpress.com/2014/08/18/why-is-israel-paying-cameron-slater-to-come-to-israel-and-did-they-pay-for-david-farrars-trip-too/

Mixed Signals: The Prime Minister’s claim: “I don’t know what ‘mass collection’ even means”, when filtered through the ears of someone who agrees with Mr Key’s portrayal of Nicky Hager as “a screaming left-wing conspiracy theorist”, becomes: “These journalists think they know something about the ‘Five Eyes’ operation, but they don’t. All of this stuff about ‘mass collection’ is just rubbish. I don’t have to respond to the likes of Nicky Hager, Glen Greenwald or Edward Snowden – and neither do you.”
HE PRIME MINISTER doesn’t know what “mass collection” means. This is surprising – given that the Prime Minister has spoken English all his life. And since the phrase has been used repeatedly with reference to the Government Communications Security Bureau’s (GCSB) acknowledged interception of individual and diplomatic metadata on an industrial scale, the Prime Minister’s professed ignorance is rather hard to accept.
What makes the Prime Minister’s unawareness even more puzzling is that he was the Minister in charge of the GCSB in 2009, when its facilities were, at the behest of and with considerable assistance from the US Government, being up-graded to “full-take” capability. It is inconceivable that the Prime Minister was not fully briefed on these expanded intelligence-gathering powers by the then Head of the GCSB, Sir Bruce Fergusson.

Lunatic Fringe? They are currently having an "X-Fuckwit" co-leader competition. Going by the recent debate amongst them... Personally I'd be happy to see the winner in charge of the Composting Toilet Portfolio" and absolutely nothing above that position.
Maori Party? Who?
NZ First? Winnie (certainly could handle the role).
Can't remember if there are any other parties. So a good old fashioned "no" is the answer. National has the helm for the foreseeable future.

It's a job with damned fine career benefits... who wouldn't wanna take advantage of that? Even better when one of the benefits is the ability to direct your own spy agency, army, police force and to a large degree (that I'm still embarassed about given that I'm supposedly the same species) and entire population of zombies.

Fine. Lets feed the kids. And then remove any subsidies their parents receive. Why should Joe average pay to feed their kids twice?

I don't know what you think that means.
But: More than half of NZ families receive more in subsidies than they pay in tax. That's fucking ridiculous, and it's time the hand-outs for middle NZ stopped. And let's face it, if you taxed them less they wouldn't need subsidies, would they?

there's ALOT of tax being avoided, maybee you've chosen to ignore the IRD's "tax evasion" stats each year & that's before you get into legalised tax evasion (but hey that's alright cause it's legal right)
This is from a study done by Victoria University
Benefit fraud cost New Zealand $22 million in 2010, or around $5 for each New Zealander. While it is difficult to get accurate figures for tax evasion, the Tax Justice Network estimates New Zealand missed out on more than $7.4 billion of tax revenue in 2011, or around $1,500 per New Zealander.

But we don't have that, we have unqualified people getting paid a decent amount well in excess of commensurate & still forcing other's to their own ideal (or more their backers). So you're still not making a valid or even good argument

I don't mind paying taxes for some people to just get by in a world that does not provide enough jobs for the population, irrespective of how they live their lives. Ya get what ya pay for.
As many as possible. Screw the consequences. Triffic solution man.
The world doesn't exist to provide employment. Those who choose to live their lives without bludging on others, however usually manage to produce enough of something marketable to feed their kids. Usually more.

That's the only quantifiable fraud your study could find, wasn't it?
The rest, they said was pure guesswork, no?
So if there is a great deal of tax related fraud but high income earners pay almost all of the net tax then why would you blame them for avoiding tax? Or for evading it for that matter?
Seems to me they pay far, far more than their fair share already, why not blame low income earners for failing to provide at least as much tax as they spend?

http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/news/politics/67439973/Scheme-can-t-pay-back-loans
The Government's flagship health cost-cutting scheme has taken out millions of dollars worth of taxpayer-funded loans, despite concerns it could not pay a cent back, new documents reveal.
Once dubbed a government "ponzi scheme" by district health boards (DHBs), Health Benefits Limited (HBL) has been granted more than $10 million in loans by the Government. HBL was also given three separate extensions to the deadline to pay the money back, amid concerns the original deadline would leave the crown entity insolvent.
HBL was set up by former health minister Tony Ryall in 2010 to save DHBs $750 million over six years by establishing shared contracts for key hospital services.
But documents show the group took out an initial $8m "short-term credit facility", or a low-interest loan, from the Government in July 2013 so it could develop three detailed business cases for its food services and linen and laundry services and its National Infrastructure Platform programmes.
In a June 2013 letter HBL chairman Ted van Arkel told the Government the loan would be an "interim step" while the group worked with both the Ministry of Health and Treasury to establish a "long-term capital structure".

Production. Meaning advances in living standards and potential for human societies. Specifically; regulation such that entrepreneurial, productive and hard work are rewarded.
Aye, those who choose to live their lives without bludging accept that there is a price to pay for being "self-reliant". Yet still get shat on when their shit hits the fan in some way... unless they're insured yo.
The correct price to pay for being self reliant is simply that you earn what you spend. That includes insurance against a rainy day. There’s nothing remotely reasonable about expecting self-reliant people to support those that can’t be bothered.

Nope, paying tax is not a requirement of earning something, and in fact you can even earn money without incurring tax obligations.
Correct. How is that relevant to self reliance?
And perfect world or not a self reliant person could consider insurance a valid part of that ethos. Either he insures himself and maybe he uses it's provisions or not, or he doesn't and manages without, either way is still self reliance.

No, it proves the job is high powered, too much critical decision making to be a jack of all trades.
I'm saying less money == worse people, there is a difference between that and more money == better people. Pay penuts, get monkeys is the adage, but feel free to show me how paying less leaves only the useful, because I have only ever seen the opposite.
more than not havin it
You said all the critical thinking is done by "underlings" & just reinforcing they're unqualified for the position. You won't listen to anything that isn't "scientific peer reviewed" but you're willing to follow & obey the decisions of someone with no knowledge of that which they are in charge... seems pretty fucking hypocritical to me
What a load of shit. Have you worked in any multinational corporation???

But relatively, if we are to worry about funding not getting to kids, surely a packet of ciggies per bene is going to be a better focus than mp's wages; just trying to put things in perspective for you.
No, I said the specifics were known by underlings. Do you think the manager of telecos etc could go out and wire a junction box?
You still don't understand how the scientific peer review works (or even its purpose) it would seem. Carry on in rebellious ignorance, and I'll carry on happily towing the line with my enlightenment :sunny:

How a junction box is wired has little to do with business decisions. I'd rather have somebody specialised in business than the tech aspects running the business, and vice versa.
No, you don't and it doesn't. Peer reviewed showed what the evidence shows; just as management's underlings show how the business/country is running. I'm not an expert in many fields, and that is precisely why I look to peer reviewed works for an interpretation of the evidence; as management should look to workers and lower management to interpret that which they manage. That you consider these ideas to be hypocritical just shows how completely you misunderstand how one or the other works.

So the guy who brokers my deals, finances, investments, needs to know how to code in 5 diferent languages, operate your standard workshop gear, and advanced CNC stuff? what fucking point is there in that?

I tell him how long shit will take, and how much it will cost, and he figures out just how profitable it would be; works extremely well.
The country needs running by managers, not bin-men. Same as businesses, no it isn't a business in the traditional sense, but increasing profits/production (GDP) does lead to increases in standards of living just the same as for business.

Yeh, he selects what jobs are most worth doing. Yup, I'm on wages but with all the OT it certainly works out that way. The pay peanuts thing is again, relative, my line of work 6 figures is what you need to pay to get the good guys. For many other jobs (including a number we contract out to) even half that figure would not be considered peanuts.

John Key 2008 regarding allegations of improper donation of Winton Peters legal costs
National Party Leader John Key says Winston Peters would be unacceptable as a Minister in a government led by him unless Mr Peters can provide a credible explanation on the Owen Glenn saga.
"Labour Party donor Owen Glenn's letter to the Privileges Committee completely contradicts Winston Peters' version of events about the substantial $100,000 donation made by Mr Glenn to Mr Peters' legal costs.
"Mr Glenn's letter represents a direct challenge to Mr Peters' credibility, from the only other person in the world in a position to know the facts.
"From Parliament's point of view, the Privileges Committee provides an appropriate vehicle to resolve the points of conflict and to hold individuals to account. But from the Prime Minister's and the Government's point of view, that is not enough.
"Governments and Ministers must enjoy the confidence of the Parliament and, ultimately, the public. Faced with today's revelations, it is no longer acceptable for Mr Peters to offer bluster and insults where simple, courteous, honest answers are required.
"It is no longer acceptable or credible for Helen Clark to assert a facade of confidence in her Foreign Affairs Minister and to fail to ask the plain questions of him that she has a duty to the public to ask.
"Faced with today's revelations, Helen Clark must stand Mr Peters down as a Minister. That is what I would do if I were Prime Minister.
Handling of John Banks Kim Dot Com donations
Note Kim Dotcom himself told the New Zealand Herald and TV3's Campbell Live program about his own donations, saying that the $50,000 was split at Banks' request, that the cheques were written out in the presence of Banks, and that Banks called him a few days later to thank him
John Key 2012-13
Prime Minister John Key has staunchly backed John Banks since allegations regarding his mishandling of donations first surfaced.
Key on April 30, 2012 saying he had sought assurances from Banks that he had acted lawfully:
- "I've asked directly the question, I've been given an assurance by Mr Banks that he complied with all the local government regulations and laws and I accept him at his word."
Key on September 16 2012 on accepting Banks' word:
- "I accept his word, I accept the law is very ambiguous, and I accept that the Labour Party is using this as a politically motivated attempt to get to the Government.''
Key on September 16 2012 on whether lying was a sackable offence for ministers:
- "The test for whether someone can be a minister is whether they enjoy my confidence. If a minister tells me this is my position and this is what I've done, I accept their word in good faith unless it's proven otherwise."
Key on September 17 2012, rejecting calls for Banks to be sacked:
"I accept him at his word, no charges have been laid and he's not going to be found guilty of anything. There is no case to be held against Mr Banks, he hasn't broken the law."
Key in Parliament on September 18 2012 when questioned about why he would not read the police report:
"Because I don't need to. The test is whether I can rely on the member's word. He'd given me an assurance he met the law.
Key on October 16 2013 after Banks stood down as minister pending trial:
"He could have argued that he was going to guts it out because he claims strongly that he's innocent, but realistically for a minister to be in the Government and defending potentially a fraud charge, I think, you know, he made the right decision to offer his resignation."
Key on October 16, 2013 in regards to Bank's future if he escaped conviction::
if Mr Banks is successful on appeal or proved to be not guilty at trial, it is my intention to reinstate him as a Minister.
A statement from Key's office on June 4 following the guilty verdict:
"The Prime Minister has this afternoon acknowledged Justice Wylie's decision that ACT MP John Banks is guilty of filing a false electoral return. Mr Key, who is currently in Niue on the Pacific Mission, says he cannot comment while the matter is still before the court."

TPPA threat aside - Where would we be had we elected the alternatives on offer at the time? :confused:

Creative accounting, bullshit and a globe full of easily appeased dipshits that believe that the richer your country is, the better the country looks after it's civilians. Does it really matter who is in power if the outcome is being dictated?

Key claimed his government would :-
Reverse the drift to Australia
Improve the economy etc
Well!
Drift is reversed
Economy is better than Australia
$ Dollar value equity or better than Australia
Employment has improved.
TPPA threat aside - Where would we be had we elected the alternatives on offer at the time? :confused:
:facepalm:
How's the wage parity going between Aus and NZ? The Drift hasn't reversed, we still have thousands more kiwis leaving to Aus than staying, it's just that our net arrivals (new migrants - Chinese, Indian, Fillipino ) are now slightly more than those leaving.
A year before getting into power he claimed he would make us like Ireland.... and we're following that tract - a hands off economy that tanked over due to an inflated housing boom. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_property_bubble
The housing bubble of Auckland hasn't stopped, and exports to China are beginning to wane off and be less profitable (the same reason why Australia's economy is tanking = less Chinese demand for raw materials). The housing boom and slow Christchurch rebuild is contributing to GDP growth. GDP is such a pointless measure for basing the success of one's "economic performance" given that Crime contributes to it positively - how are the resolution rates going for property crimes and reported crimes? Response rates for 111 calls? Surely these will do even better when more Police stations are shut down.:facepalm:
IMF has warning us for the last couple of years about the major threats to our economy - reliance on China, over inflated housing market. What's been done?
http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/industries/10139965/IMF-warns-NZ-about-housing-bubble
The only thing rock hard about our economy is the erections of a few rose tinted John Key fans who fail to comprehend what decreasing milk prices, increasing numbers of suicides and attempted suicides amongst dairy farmers, hundreds of forestry job losses nationwide, building companies and contractors collapsing in Christchurch despite the "rebuild" are indicators of.

Got a big tax refund today, which I'll likely spend on another old BMW.
Maybe I'll pay beneficaries to stand as trials markers and some as obstacles to ride over...

Role of the media
Throughout the bubble, newspapers and media played a vital role in hyping property. No national newspaper was without a glossy property supplement and weekend papers were often equally filled with property ads, reviews of new developments, stories of successful purchases, makeovers, and a gamut of columnists relating their property experiences. TV and radio schedules were filled with further property porn - house-hunting programs and house makeover programs were regular features on every channel. Even in July 2007, Irish Independent journalist/comedian Brendan O'Connor urged people to buy property, even as the bubble was clearly bursting.[39] In April 2011, journalist Vincent Browne admitted that the Irish media had played an important role in adding to the frenzy of the Irish property bubble.[40

This isn't working for you?
The housing bubble of Auckland hasn't stopped, and exports to China are beginning to wane off and be less profitable (the same reason why Australia's economy is tanking = less Chinese demand for raw materials).
Outside of a bit of timber we're selling fuck all raw materials to China, we're selling mostly high-end dairy products and wool. Which isn't a bad market to be in now that China's massive infrastructure bubble is dwindling and the new Chinese middle class have some money to spend. In fact we're doing very nicely out of it.
Sorry, you'll have to look elsewhere for your doom shit.

We already pay them... for something. Not sure there's much traction to be had there, though to be honest.

Well while Im waiting for it to trickle down
Perhaps you can show me the benefits
When I last drove through nrth canty to see the folks . .the pine trees were gone and huge areas of irrigated fast growing grass . . Or what ever they use now . . Was both an eyesore and a crime against nature Imho

Can't be fucked. Just go look for evidence your standard of living is massively better than it's ever been, it's difficult to miss.

News: grass is probably closer to "natural" than the American pine trees planted there 50 years ago to make work for dole bludgers.
Oh well as long as the goose spits out those golden eggs at an increasingly faster rate
And it will. As long as productivity continues to be rewarded and whining ingrates crying about how hard it all is in the face of spectacularly easy living conditions are ignored as the lunatic twats they are.

If you're that concerned about the wider community, why do you spend so much time talking shit on the interweb when you could be helping out somewhere?
