I'll happily scrounge together the money to buy shares in the SOE's.
He's also being a good guy and doing things he wouldn't have to, setting up loyalty schemes for New Zealanders, the Treasury is actively trying to get as many locals investing as possible.
So how about you just buy a few thousand dollars worth instead of bitching about a right wing government committing right wing actions.
The treasury ( operating under world bank rules is doing a great job , actually it is ! ) ,,but the "guidelines laid down by Imf/wb aka America from the Chicago school , is all about making a few people rich ,,,it does nothing for the avrage joe ( who may not want to be rich) , and if you buy into the idea that hard work and a little bit of luck you to can become rich ,...well... good luck
Most people in NZ I would say are not as secure as they could be ...
Actually I dont envy JK position , he must do as he is told by the bank ( world or treasury either or !) and at the same time give the people what they want .... now international fiance is all about Money ,,,,NOT your child’s education
Under the SOE model according to the interviewee on National radio ,since 1991 your electricity prices are 400 400 % greater than what they should be under the old electricity board ... 400%
that’s disgraceful
that was under both national AND labour .......so why both parties ??? could it be a higher power is calling the shots ???
