Just to correct some False information posted on previous page that obviously wasn’t “fact checked”....,.

A truck driver on $24hr is $87.3k per year....... most drivers work 70 hrs a a week

I'd be pretty pissed off if I had to work 70 hours per week to get such a moderate pay. For those hours I'd be looking at 155k min, more if it was double time after three hours, and not counting the car and other perks.

Well they are Canadians, they are much better behaved. Though if those truckers are breaking laws, they should probs be pulled up on that.

The only Laws they are breaking, are the ones the Government is trying to abuse in order to disperse the Protest.

The Honking will continue, until Freedoms are restored.

Hardly a fair comparison, freedom loving canadian truckers vs an American stirrer group with their beloved guns

It's entirely a fair comparison. And although I could write paragraphs and paragraphs on it - I think this Image sums it up best:

Obviously the middle ground voters that left national in droves. Luxon is a poli greenhorn, there will be consequences for that.

I don't think this is to do with his experience or inexperience as a Politician. I think the problem is with his lack of understanding as to what it actually means to be Conservative. From my Point of View, there are a small handful of Right Wing politicians, Globally, that actually understand what a Conservative should be for or why they should implement a policy.

Case in point: A Conservative stands up and says 'We should lower taxes' and immediately you will hear the prattling from the Media of 'Giving tax cuts to their rich mates blah blah blah' and the typical Conservative Politician is suddenly scrambling for words.

The correct response is to articulate the Conservative view "We in National/Republicans/Tories believe that the person who best knows how to spend your money is the person that earned it. You. We don't want to see your money fritted away on Politician's vanity projects, we want to see you invest it or spend it as you see fit" (or something like that).

Making the case for a Smaller government, Greater individual responsibility AND individual freedom.

At this point I barely care who is running the show, both labor and national will shit all over the majority people, just in different ways. Both are shit.

National *could* be good if they just read a little bit of Conservative Philosophy and understood what the hell they were meant to be doing. Labour on the other hand have fully swallowed the Social Justice pill, there's no hope for them unless they cast out the Marxists/Neo-Marxists in their ranks. But they won't do that.

A lawyer in Ottawa is organising a class action on behalf of residents and businesses against the 'truckers,' their supporters, donors, and anyone else involved, for $306 milion and increasing at $15 million per day.

We need a bit of that in Welington.

Sounds like a protest about a protest.... they must be high on hopium....
You would have to positively identify protestors, successfully articulate what and how long their contribution was and what the damage you sustained....
And then hope you sued someone with means to pay

Sounds a bit like but threatening to get army in to tow protestors cars which just won’t happen due to various legal vagaries....

Once again the smartest people in the room, nz police have ceeded control of the area realising there’s no point in being there. Now if only Jacinda could swallow her pride instead of something else and step outside to talk for five mins this would all be over with.

If the media just fucked off and stopped reporting on it the thing would soon peter out.

They wouldn't have to wank on about all the abuse they get and the Police could move in and crack some heads like the good old days.

Job jobbed.

How’s that housing crisis going Jackie girl, kiwibuild will...,,
We will....
Let’s do this....,

Now just shy 10,000 people in emergency housing and we are in second term of a socialist pro- people party.....

Some interesting trivia here Rodney owner of first motel featured used to be a local mega real estate baron and big business owner so it’s kinda nice he’s sacrificed the bluewater for the cause, prob bring a tear to mashmans eye.
400 people are living here in what is Napier’s version of viaduct harbour just s stonesthrow from fine dining and major nightclub scene albeit with the occasional driveby shooting, well there should only been two so far....
Older members may recall this place being known as the Leapord Inn aka roundhouse back in days of brewery owned pubs.
Across the street are million dollar apartments and you can walk to fishing/swimming spots. I may not too sure how motivated any of The tenants would be to leave here....

Exactly how many state houses did national sell off?

I will give you a hint, as you are a bit of a dullard troll.

n January 2015, in his state of the nation speech, John Key announced plans to reduce the government's involvement in providing social housing, with some of the responsibility for providing housing to be passed to community housing providers. As part of the plan, 2,000 state houses would be sold by January 2016, and up to 8,000 properties would be sold by 2017

In addition to the sell offs there were also a lot of state units around Wellington / Hutt Valley that were demolished as "earthquake prone" and then the land sat empty for years until rebuilding started in the last few years But I think very few state rentals among them, mostly in private ownership and even if considered "affordable" they are still out of reach for the previous tenants

Toll r65R is not interested in such facts, as previous state house sales, especially if it ruins the latest fallacy he intends to spew forth.
Norman Mashie election platform a while back was something similar to found housing by making them tinny houses on off ramps

And letÂ’s not forget the ones tenants used as p labs.... labour has continued the sell off and demolition. The social engineers used all sorts of excuses as to why older houses were unfit and some of them prob were.....

But instead of replacing like with like they took away high density two storey housing and built new smaller two bedroom homes single level for all the solo mums.
The days of the 1/4 dream are over for everyone. All of these properties should have been rebuilt as 2-3 storey apartments with a communal green space where every fourth or fifth original house was.
Five years now.... I think even chch rebuild was faster.....

Winz have just built themselves a new three storey ivory tower in Napier with underground parking and bullet proof walls on second floor for HNZ. A massive metaphor for whatÂ’s wrong with govt logic.... visitors to town prob at first mistake it for a new hotel and conference centre....

Just wait when the cruise industry starts again and wealthy camera toting American tourists tour the streets Taking Art Deco pics.... “wow what a that flash new building over there?” Oh it’s like your social services dept, it’s the best idea we had for helping all the homeless people sleeping in the brand new bus station.....

Exactly how many state houses did national sell off?.

That's one part of the problem.

If you add National repeatedly denying there was an overseas buyer problem, and continuing to allow Judith and Jenny's chinese friends to buy houses to sit empty.

A large number of council and state houses were suddenly unavailable to rent due to healthy homes laws, as they couldn't be brought up to standard quick enough.

Continuing changes to rental rules causing private landlords to sell off their rentals. Previous landlord just sold the house features quite highly on rental applications at the moment.

Lower end marginal rentals are being sold rather than brought up to standard, and replaced with housing the previous tenants can't afford.

A large number of younger people have reached the age and critical mass in Kiwisaver to go house shopping.

Pretty much washes up to previous governments have created the problem, and the current government haven't done anything material to fix it, and probably should have admitted up front they were pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick rather than make silly promises.

I could see why you are so i acting as though you are interested in the plight of the poor when you yourself only just barely earn a smidge over minimum wage yourself.



Only 62 of the 700 new state houses in chch Nick Smith promised were built.

National says it’s policy aims to increase supply of new housing but more houses were built every year under the last Labour Government than National were able to build in their first five years in office.
State housing​

Labour increased the state housing stock by 9000 when last in government: National have reduced the number of state houses by 1000 in the last 12 months alone.
There are 2700 vacant state houses, and the waiting lists are at a record high at 5800.
National has used Housing NZ as a cash cow in the middle of the housing crisis: making a net withdrawal of $212 m (2009-2013) and are budgeting to withdraw another $252 m over the next 3 years.

Well let's not ignore the major driver is immigration. We went from 4 million to 5 million in record time, like 10 years.

Forget the racist overtones of talking about it as lots of them were Brits and white south Africans, but 70,000 a year made our Rock Star economy . Where do they all go? Auckland Wellington and Christchurch. And they all need somewhere to live.

Supply and demand. Housing crisis? The fuck!

Who pays for the infrastructure?

Been quiet for last two years and now market sagging. Until the 130,000 are processed for next intake. And where are they going to move?. Cashed up, another skyrocketing of the market will occur.

Just no New Zealanders in the market.

Sitting down all day driving is hardly working though is it? I do that on the way to and from my job every day.

lets not forget that's the average rate He's certainly likely to be in the 50% that actually get less than the average.
I say this based on attitude and the lack of success in life that leads him to be a troll poster . No wonders he' such a anrgy little chap.
