Re: NZ Politics Thread

I haven't seen enough of Luxon to pick up on his style of interview discussion like some of you have. However, I do wonder how he would have fared during the Covid lockdown era in which he would have had to give daily reports in front of a live televised audience and answer those annoying 'what if'...

Re: Sail GP in Lyttelton Harbour, Christchurch, NZ

The sad truth is few businesses in Lyttelton especially make money out of this .

People are bused in in then bused out .

A few hang around but bugger all .

There’s a very good reason why the locals have rejected it .

Every time I have seen Chloe Swarbrick debate David Seymour she gets destroyed. Her advisers between then give her a rebuttal for next time but once he destroys this she can't think on her feet she just goes quiet and repeats slogans.

Err - no, more jobs doesn’t mean higher wages , especially when collective bargaining is opposed and you have a government committed to limiting the growth of the minimum wage .

Usually what happens is an increase in casual jobs in lower paid occupations.
