Stop picking up the soap you idiots!

. But I'd be wary of saying we have a problem with giving away all our money to welfare recipients, because we don't have many, even compared to our `big brother'. You've got to have an unemployment benefit if you want to have a country where basic human rights and welfare are looked after adequately.

It's not JUST unemployment - the Gov't hides people like that putting them on the Sickness Benefit etc etc
Fuck the lazy leeches that don't want to work and just exist to fill the Courts.

Make the unemployment as unpleasant as it is in the the US.
No job? = no drivers licence & no car.
Owe reparation for a crime? same again.

I bet there ain't too many dole-bludgers in China either.
NZ is waaay too easy on lay-a-bout 'don't WANT to work' leeches.
Why should I support their hobby?

Rant over, as you were....

I've always said that just about everything in NZ is overpriced. Yes, we're an remote island and bla, bla de bla, but in this global economy there's just no excuse anymore.

Take a look here for example...

Not only is this over the top but the build quality would compare to an Indian shantytown. Another reason to stay clear of NZ made.

EVERYTHING WE BUY IS WAY OVERPRICED!!! Freight is not the problem. $2000 to ship a container from the US. Our dollar has been strong for some time now. It's just kiwi's ripping kiwi's off full stop.

Make a stand sheep! Stop throwing your hard earned cash over the counter. The internet is your friend. Use it!

Well said Finn, I agree 100% with you, I've seen this myself being an immigrant that certain items are hugely overpriced and that service over here isn't really up to scratch. But it is still a million times better than Africa.

scumdog, please run for prime minister, you'd get my vote!!!

Exactly! That bike should be no more than $15,000 brand new which means I should be selling it for around $10 - $12k. Everybody would be better off.

That bike should be set on fire.

P.S. What's a Pitman Arm?

I think you got it from to much fap..fap..fap activity

That's enough from you, jerk.

What's the cost of compliance on building a new house - let's say a $200,000 house in Auckland?

I'd allow $20k all up, what with Resource management,council hassles,plans, etc, etc,etc

I don't know where they get their numbers from, but I get mine from Rawlinsons construction handbook:
House, 1 storey, weatherboard or brick caldding: $1525 to 1775 per sq. m.
House, 2 storey, brick or plaster and weatherboards: $1,775 to 2,050 per sq. m.
House, large (200 to 600 sq.m.) $3,100 to 3,400 per sq. m.

All these plus GST and assume an easy level site for building........

Most of my design work is renovations in the order of $200,000 to 400,000 and I am working off $2,000 to $2,500 per sq. m. That seems reasonably accurate.

Rawlinsons, Perth
House 150 - 350m2 med std, full brick, $1130-1215 per m2
House,150 - 350m2 prestige,full aircon, full brick, $2170 - $2335 per m2

Hmm lets see, I went and looked at a bike for a KB'er, then looked at 12 cars, then took my new car for a thrash up SH17, then my little girl and I wen't out to get lunch, then did about half an hours worth of work on the phone and made $1,200 then wen't for another drive in the car, now I'm back and got a bit more work to do.

Life is good.

Yep, you probably do a shit load more work than me

But that's okay.

let me guess, your new car is a people carrier and your half hour work on the phone was a quick call to WINZ or the treaty commision?

i think you're all shit, otherwise you'd be riding round on a repsol now instead of talking about it and you wouldn't be trying to score a bargain deal on a fucking $500 repsol jacket.
