Instead of the millions being given away in foreign aid we could have bought up places like this and made them into addiction and mental health hospitals.
Labour has backtracked on all their promises made at the election and made a complete and utter mess of Kiwibuild. They gave away our money in foreign aid and pensions to the Islands like a 12 year old teenager with a credit card. They have invited more poverty by encouraging people to breed and paying them to do it with the best start bonus, they have gone back on their promise to cut immigration and keep jobs to Kiwis so we can employ our own and employers can once again start valuing our own people first. They have gone even softer on criminals encouraging them to commit more crime. Jacinda is the puppet fronting Labour,that is all,she is and never ever was a leader of any kind. NZ is a sinking ship with Labour at the wheel going down very fast. We need to stop it by voting them out before the wreck this country further.
Jacinda has not saved Labour if anything she has sunk them to an even worse position politically with her socialist nonsense. The truth is the middle classes who pay the most tax in this country are totally sick of being stung over and over and now they are turning away from wanting to be held to ransom by Labour and this coalition of idiots. Labour will not be in next time that is evident now.This is the most incompetent Govt we have ever had in our history of politics.
By all means do what ever you want in your life Jacinda, but do not expect us tax payers to fun it for you. You have already had 54k of money you were not entitled to while on maternity leave and now we are also expected to pay for the lives of your child and your partner as they follow you around. So much for being a person who was for the people eh?, who didnt want an extravagant lifestyle?, well you pretty much have that now while jetting around the place and now unfairly we will also have to pay for your families life as well. You know very well we are not happy to do this yet you will just continue to do it we know. That will cost you the 2020 election.
Too much welfare dependency in this country and more so under Labour. HNZ is not moving people on who have been these houses for quite a while as they have stopped the yearly assessments according to Phil Twyford. This needs to be started again and long stayers need to go to make room for others who want their turn in these houses.
Well we do look like a laughing stock to other countries so its no wonder they have lost their confidence in us. We are headed by a woman who has no fiancial experience. Jacinda needs to bow out now and realise she is no way a PM and never ever was. Labour spent all our money in foreign aid and pensions for the islands and race tracks for horses along with failed Kiwibuild that the rich will be buying up in droves. They have also encouraged people to breed more kids they cannot afford while flinging more money at them in the hope the social problems will fix themselves. If this keeps up we will be in huge trouble.
Its just a line the radiologists rattle off, I had an ultrasound and xrays on my arm this week. I laughed when they said it to me this week as I am 46,I said If I was I wouldnt not be pleased lol.
Sending Jacinda will only make us look worse and tell the world we have no clue by sending and inexperienced person to represent us.She has no experience in anything other than being a google searcher in a Labour office.
Jacinda has just shown that being a new mother is breeze, you can go back to full time work after 5 weeks and you therefore do not need 6 months maternity leave at all?.....great so we can now scrap the 6 months maternity leave pay then.
Jacinda was just the next one in line for the throne after Andrew left the post. The Winney saw his chance when she announced she was preggers and he never intended to go with National ever.He just wanted to hold this country ransom for a month while he enjoyed his revenge. Labour was the minority that only got into power because a wrinkly old trougher helped them get in only because he wanted his day in the sun.
Look at me look at me!!! Im so great I am superwoman I do it all so easily, even though Im really struggling. I am showing the world I can do it all when really Im just pretending.Gotta try to stay popular even though I am slipping in the polls by the day. I just dont realise that the stupid decisions I am making are screwing up NZ and I am losing voters by the day. Never mind,in my head its all so peachy dandy.
Anyone who had had children knows you are so tired in those first few months and depending on the child it might go on for a year or more. Its about survival and finding time for a shower or a piece of toast when they are asleep. New babies are great they feed and then go back to sleep a lot but when they start to really wake up at about 3 months its gets even more demanding.She looks very tired to me actually and she is doing herself no favours pretending otherwise. I dont believe it either.
I heard a story from my neighbour who attends a church that is predominantly Pacific Island people and she said she had not been tithing lately due to affordability. It is a protestant church.She said the pastor who is an Island man stood up and told the congregation that there werent enough people tithing lately and the envelope with their names on them had been left sitting on the desk empty for a long time. He said he knew people had been getting extra money lately from the Govt for their children and families for WFF so there was money to give. He said this money did not belong to them so should be given to the church. He said he was keeping tabs on who was giving and who wasnt. My neighbour felt scared and pressured to give and felt bad not doing it.This is disgusting and evidence it is going on in certain cultures where they are pressured to give their own money and then take out loans because they now cannot afford to live.Its time churches came under the spotlight involving the money are donated via tithes and offerings and people were prevented form being pressured to give this money that is tax free to the church. I think this pressure is a very common one in this culture where they are brought very religious and feel they have to give no matter what or risk being shamed by the church. It them causes them to borrow money.
All that donation money that has escaped being taxed while we private citizens have to pay tax on our earnings then our savings and again on our home loans. Religion is a huge rort in this country its high time churches were taxed.
He was actually better than Jacinda due to being more decisive and showing he can handle the pace. But he let himself down when he was questioned on Q&A on Sun about the promise of cutting immigration figures to which his answer was Well we need to all learn to live together and figures have dropped a little and kept dodging when Corrin asked him about those figures he quoted during the election. Corrin said but you havent cut immigration as much as you promised and he didnt answer. Sorry Winston wont be voting for you or Jacinda next time dues to your lies and ill kept promises and neither will any person I know. No that we were actually Nat supporters either,I have never even voted National ever but I will in 2020.
Beneficiaries should be banned for taking out credit or loans of any kind while on a benefit,they should be banned from buying for those mobile shops which would put them out of business straight away.
UMM considering how much they collect in tithes and offerings each week they are very cash rich actually. Many churches have E-giving now where you pay your tithe by credit card or you give them direct debit authority to take the money out each week. It is no longer a few coins given volunterily into the plate passed around....then they pay no tax on it and its is used to buy property....what a rort.
Profit to key is cutting leg room on planes while hiking up the ticket prices at AirNZ. He also wasted 26 million on a failed flag referendum.......can we have our money back please John?
With some people it is how they are brought up. Some cultures are not educated on how to save and spend money.Some are taught they must give no matter what even if it means they have to take out loans.
NZ deserves so much more from a leader that actually knows what they are doing instead of one that doesnt. We are a small country and its quite bad that we are in such turmoil over everything in this little place.
Yes we know all about the disabled people you dont have to keep harping on and on about it in each comments section. No one is even saying the disabled shouldnt have these houses at all..
Very 1 and the very party that closed all the mental hospitals in the 90s turning mentally ill patients out onto the streets with no way of looking after themselves. He did nothing about improving health or addiction services either.
So why do we have to have a PM that has her partner and baby in tow everywhere she she goes?. This will require the three of them to travel together everywhere. What employer is ever going to do that for yoU free of charge without a choice on their behalf?....no one would. She will be so distracted all the time,tired and not thinking straight as she has a baby.It is just not realistic for her to think she can do this.We did not vote for someone who is going to be distracted from the job with NZ taking a backseat because of Jacindas personal life choices, who is only able to give less than 50% attention to the PM job. NZ deserves way more than this.
Shops are putting up roller doors because nowthe crims know they wont even go to prison for robbery.That is how sad and soft our justice system is. It doesnt help with the Labour party becoming even softer on them.There is a huge problem with people who are in poverty,who got there by leaving school with little or no education and were bought up by feral parents. Then we have generational welfare dependency. I see it in my neighbourhood where whole families are on benefits who are not working. They are families with at least 3 generations who have no intention of working who happily sit around all day socialising instead of job hunting. This welfare dependency has been getting worse for decades. Having been born to parents who were very poorly educated and left school at 15, only to become substance abuse addicts where we lived in HNZ housing around more of the same people in the 70s and 80s, I can see it has only gotten much worse over time. Our govts have done nothing to ensure parents are educating and looking after their kids at least. They have done nothing about updating our system so that it isnt easy to sit back and breed children while collecting money while living in social housing. They have done nothing to preserve our jobs for Kiwis as they allowed migrants to come here and employers to take advantage of low paid wages to desperate people wanting to stay here. Our Govts are failing us with their stupid ideas. We need to get a lot tougher with criminals in this country instead of slapping them on the hand when they harm other. Our welfare system is a joke an is encouraging poverty by inviting the poor to breed more children which will only lead to more poverty and crime.
Well having a son who has just got his full at 17 it was hard because he had a job where he finished at 9:45pm and depending on annoying customers who didnt have homes to go to that would make him have to work beyond his paid hours making him late home. He did get stopped a couple of times on his restricted and he was only 4kms from home but could prove he had just come from work in his uniform and passed the no alcohol test and producing of your licence. I didnt see the point of being allowed to drive up till 10pm when actually many a time he had to avoid drunk drivers all over their lanes an speeding at that time anyway coming out of the pubs?.
BS on your comment because Labour are behind in the polls actually.You need to get real they could not govern alone and Winston will not be voted in again next time help them either.Wake up lovely!!
She then went on to tell me if they go back to the Islands to visit family they have to give money.If they do not have the money to take back they have to take out loans as the family expect their family who live overseas to bring money and lots of it. She said she felt great pressure from family if she went home and it wasnt really a holiday go there.She said she tended to keep the visit down to one week to prevent lots of family members approaching asking for money.Giving money to family there is not a choice and you are in trouble if you dont.We have to remember these people have been bought up and educated this way so how can they know any better?.
We now expect more ridiculous decisions that will continue to sink this country into the ground,as the fairy queen floats around in dreamland instead of doing anything of worth that will benefit this country. What happened to the promises of cutting immigration by 30k?, and Kiwibuild homes for low income families?, instead immigration has only gone down a couple of % as Winston admitted this week and Kiwibuild is for the rich and the migrants to buy....all lies wasnt it Labour,as we now know.
Not really, its up to parents to set house rules of obeying the licence rules and being home by a certain time. Its how you bring your children up to respectful mature people.
Lol whatever we all know NZ has dropped down in the world rankings in finance and confidence due to a fairy princess being in charge and the world now thinking we are a compete joke.
I know someone who secured a job and bought a house with 100% finance the next week. She and her partner then went out and bought all the toys and big screen TVs only to discover she got fired a few weeks later for coming to work half drunk a few times while partying to much.They they had a big weeding at home.She revealed she had an alcohol problem along with her husband who was a bit of a loser as well. He was an undischarged bankrupt who worked under the table so he didnt have to pay for his son who was primary school aged. They admitted to having to sell off their toys to pay bills when they didnt have jobs.At first I felt sorry for them until it became clear they were making their own poverty.It has led to poverty where they struggle to pay the mortgage payments and being left with a house where her lawyer had actually advised her not to buy it due to rotting foundations,but she wanted it anyway. They also tore up all the carpet intending to renovate but now there is no money to do this.Now they cannot afford to fix the home and cannot sell it either due to its poor condition.All the while they keep drinking their money away and telling their sad sorry story to anyone who will listen. They even try to scam their friends into giving them money until you find out they are drinking and smoking drugs every weekend.Such stupidity from people in their 50s who should know better.
There is a HNZ house across the street from us. There are 2 parents, a grandfather and 3 school aged kids in this Maori family. The old guy grand dad is always out on the deck there shouting on his mob phone as he applies for stuff on credit he is buying and arguing with people he owes money too. His voice is so loud it carries through the neighbourhood. None of them work they have so many people turning up in cars for coffee everyday which none of those people work either. Then they are always out at the truck that sells stuff all the time,they must owe so much money to those people,yet they do not stop buying form there. Funny they can also afford a car that is quite flash and modern and is a 350gt large thirsty motor,all their mates have Subarus.
Jacinda deliberately crashed Simons day because she is very desperate to retain attention and remain current. She was obviously advised to do it and when.She is giving personal updates because she wants people to know just how busy she is with reading cases full of papers and a baby. But the message is one of confusion as she says she still has no routine after 5 weeks yet is harpiing on she is returning this Thurs as Winston revealed last night on Q&A. If only she could understand that if you miss those precious years with your children,you cannot get them back they are gone. She will regret and realise that when she is voted out in 2020 which is going to happen.
No they just need to be told they are not allowed to do this.No credit while on a benefit because they cannot afford it.Some people have to have restrictions because they do not know how to budget money.
Some people have no clue and d not think about 2morrow. I know a woman in her mid 30s who got a job and went out and bought a 57k vehicle and she was earning leas than 40k. She traded in her nice car that was nearly paid off to buy it and then proceeded to buy 2 more cars because she liked them. She always bought the latest mob phone on contract always having to pay so much each time and then came the trips and expensive lable clothes. She went on with her spending and admitted it totalled up to 100k and where she had to hand over the 57k vehicle to her parents because she couldnt afford the payments.She said she knew about the reasons for being declined a home loan with her family because of too much debt, but instead decided to have a really good time spending as you only live once. She is a reasonable intelligent person but likes to spend too much.
When they were staring each other down nose to nose Whyte was definately the dominant one,he pushed Parker back making him lean backwards. Whyte was definately going to win after that.
Tell that to Kevin Barry who harps on about him all the time. He claimed Parker had put on more muscle when it was plain to see it was all just around his waist.
They also had something called lifetime licences as my Mum had one when she got her bike licence in the 80s. Then they revoked the lifetime licence and you had to pay again to renew them which wasnt fair.
I meant that actually she is quite bright and articulate. Just not very good with money and finance obviously.She also thought she was going to be promoted to manager which also never happened,maybe something to do with going mad with spending?You can be bright but still not make the right choices.It is not about being dumb all of the time.
I remember doing economics in 4th form in the 80s where we had to have a pretend income if we didnt have one and say what our expenses would be and what we would spend on entertainment after we have paid everything. It was very basic but was a good thinking exercise. Back then there wasnt the credit available and new gadgets as there are now.
How Parkers parents can be happy to see their son get his head punched so many times and not realise how dangerous it actually is, is beyond me. Considering many fighter get early onset dementia and permanent head injuries from boxing.
Lots of people live independently at 15 for many reasons and its not safe to be waiting at a bus stop late at night these days,better to be in your car driving home safely if you have one.
If you can drive in the dark up to 10 at night,you can drive the rest of the hours of darkness provided you are not drinking at all and not speeding and obeying all road rules.
Well its going to be even more than the 22% when the foreign buyers start buying up the Kiwibuild homes like they are allowed to do soon. Labour has a perfect chance to fix this problem but no they have stuffed up Kiwibuild big time and the only way for then to recoup the money they have miss budgeted and miscounted for is to allow foreigners to buy up the houses. Labour have really failed Kiwis this time and shown themselves up to be sellout liars full of incompetence who will continue to wreck this country.....they will be out next time for sure.
Why did Labour have to haemorrhag so much cash in foreign aid,pensions for the islands and race horse tracks in the beginning before seeing what we needed it for first?. They gifted our millions away when it should have been spent on fixing this country first.
How can the Govt stop them?, make it a condition of signing up for the benefit that they agree to not applying credit while on the benefit.If they need help with necessities like a washing machine or such they can go to WINZ to get approval which is what they do now for appliances.

Well having a son who has just got his full at 17 it was hard because he had a job where he finished at 9:45pm and depending on annoying customers who didnt have homes to go to that would make him have to work beyond his paid hours making him late home. He did get stopped a couple of times on his restricted and he was only 4kms from home but could prove he had just come from work in his uniform and passed the no alcohol test and producing of your licence. I didnt see the point of being allowed to drive up till 10pm when actually many a time he had to avoid drunk drivers all over their lanes an speeding at that time anyway coming out of the pubs?.
It's been fun Peters, but now Ardern's back it's time to get down to business
Yep and the nice big salary along with all the perks. We have to pay for the kid and her partner to travel every where now too.
Politicians rate Winston Peters' time as PM
Kiwibuild is complete and utter failure and is pandering to the rich, face it. Jacinda has never had her mind on the job and never ever will now.
It's been fun Peters, but now Ardern's back it's time to get down to business
BS on your comment because Labour are behind in the polls actually.You need to get real they could not govern alone and Winston will not be voted in again next time help them either.Wake up lovely!!
Govt minister reveals how high-interest loans hurt his close family and their kids
She then went on to tell me if they go back to the Islands to visit family they have to give money.If they do not have the money to take back they have to take out loans as the family expect their family who live overseas to bring money and lots of it. She said she felt great pressure from family if she went home and it wasnt really a holiday go there.She said she tended to keep the visit down to one week to prevent lots of family members approaching asking for money.Giving money to family there is not a choice and you are in trouble if you dont.We have to remember these people have been bought up and educated this way so how can they know any better?.
It's been fun Peters, but now Ardern's back it's time to get down to business
We now expect more ridiculous decisions that will continue to sink this country into the ground,as the fairy queen floats around in dreamland instead of doing anything of worth that will benefit this country. What happened to the promises of cutting immigration by 30k?, and Kiwibuild homes for low income families?, instead immigration has only gone down a couple of % as Winston admitted this week and Kiwibuild is for the rich and the migrants to buy....all lies wasnt it Labour,as we now know.

They do have other options.They can go to banks or legit finance companies not the loan shark ones.

Not really, its up to parents to set house rules of obeying the licence rules and being home by a certain time. Its how you bring your children up to respectful mature people.

'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
I know someone who secured a job and bought a house with 100% finance the next week. She and her partner then went out and bought all the toys and big screen TVs only to discover she got fired a few weeks later for coming to work half drunk a few times while partying to much.They they had a big weeding at home.She revealed she had an alcohol problem along with her husband who was a bit of a loser as well. He was an undischarged bankrupt who worked under the table so he didnt have to pay for his son who was primary school aged. They admitted to having to sell off their toys to pay bills when they didnt have jobs.At first I felt sorry for them until it became clear they were making their own poverty.It has led to poverty where they struggle to pay the mortgage payments and being left with a house where her lawyer had actually advised her not to buy it due to rotting foundations,but she wanted it anyway. They also tore up all the carpet intending to renovate but now there is no money to do this.Now they cannot afford to fix the home and cannot sell it either due to its poor condition.All the while they keep drinking their money away and telling their sad sorry story to anyone who will listen. They even try to scam their friends into giving them money until you find out they are drinking and smoking drugs every weekend.Such stupidity from people in their 50s who should know better.
'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
There is a HNZ house across the street from us. There are 2 parents, a grandfather and 3 school aged kids in this Maori family. The old guy grand dad is always out on the deck there shouting on his mob phone as he applies for stuff on credit he is buying and arguing with people he owes money too. His voice is so loud it carries through the neighbourhood. None of them work they have so many people turning up in cars for coffee everyday which none of those people work either. Then they are always out at the truck that sells stuff all the time,they must owe so much money to those people,yet they do not stop buying form there. Funny they can also afford a car that is quite flash and modern and is a 350gt large thirsty motor,all their mates have Subarus.
Bridges and Ardern in battle of the babies
Jacinda deliberately crashed Simons day because she is very desperate to retain attention and remain current. She was obviously advised to do it and when.She is giving personal updates because she wants people to know just how busy she is with reading cases full of papers and a baby. But the message is one of confusion as she says she still has no routine after 5 weeks yet is harpiing on she is returning this Thurs as Winston revealed last night on Q&A. If only she could understand that if you miss those precious years with your children,you cannot get them back they are gone. She will regret and realise that when she is voted out in 2020 which is going to happen.
'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
But she has the courage to tell her story so that others can learn from her mistakes. I applaud her honestly actually.
'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
No they just need to be told they are not allowed to do this.No credit while on a benefit because they cannot afford it.Some people have to have restrictions because they do not know how to budget money.
'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
Most people with credit cards think its someone elses money so that is the reason they enjoy spending it. They also cannot think into the future.

Govt minister reveals how high-interest loans hurt his close family and their kids
Some people have no clue and d not think about 2morrow. I know a woman in her mid 30s who got a job and went out and bought a 57k vehicle and she was earning leas than 40k. She traded in her nice car that was nearly paid off to buy it and then proceeded to buy 2 more cars because she liked them. She always bought the latest mob phone on contract always having to pay so much each time and then came the trips and expensive lable clothes. She went on with her spending and admitted it totalled up to 100k and where she had to hand over the 57k vehicle to her parents because she couldnt afford the payments.She said she knew about the reasons for being declined a home loan with her family because of too much debt, but instead decided to have a really good time spending as you only live once. She is a reasonable intelligent person but likes to spend too much.

Yes but the point is many people come form cultures where there is no such thing as saying no to their family members or their church.

When they were staring each other down nose to nose Whyte was definately the dominant one,he pushed Parker back making him lean backwards. Whyte was definately going to win after that.

Tell that to Kevin Barry who harps on about him all the time. He claimed Parker had put on more muscle when it was plain to see it was all just around his waist.

Member's bill to scrap curfew for restricted licence holders so they can get to work
They also had something called lifetime licences as my Mum had one when she got her bike licence in the 80s. Then they revoked the lifetime licence and you had to pay again to renew them which wasnt fair.
Govt minister reveals how high-interest loans hurt his close family and their kids
I meant that actually she is quite bright and articulate. Just not very good with money and finance obviously.She also thought she was going to be promoted to manager which also never happened,maybe something to do with going mad with spending?You can be bright but still not make the right choices.It is not about being dumb all of the time.
'Easy money to get, very expensive to pay back': loan victim speaks out
I remember doing economics in 4th form in the 80s where we had to have a pretend income if we didnt have one and say what our expenses would be and what we would spend on entertainment after we have paid everything. It was very basic but was a good thinking exercise. Back then there wasnt the credit available and new gadgets as there are now.

How Parkers parents can be happy to see their son get his head punched so many times and not realise how dangerous it actually is, is beyond me. Considering many fighter get early onset dementia and permanent head injuries from boxing.

Member's bill to scrap curfew for restricted licence holders so they can get to work
Lots of people live independently at 15 for many reasons and its not safe to be waiting at a bus stop late at night these days,better to be in your car driving home safely if you have one.
Member's bill to scrap curfew for restricted licence holders so they can get to work
If you can drive in the dark up to 10 at night,you can drive the rest of the hours of darkness provided you are not drinking at all and not speeding and obeying all road rules.
Foreign buyers snap up homes in central Auckland
Well its going to be even more than the 22% when the foreign buyers start buying up the Kiwibuild homes like they are allowed to do soon. Labour has a perfect chance to fix this problem but no they have stuffed up Kiwibuild big time and the only way for then to recoup the money they have miss budgeted and miscounted for is to allow foreigners to buy up the houses. Labour have really failed Kiwis this time and shown themselves up to be sellout liars full of incompetence who will continue to wreck this country.....they will be out next time for sure.
John Key delivers stark warning on the economy, endorses Simon Bridges as leader
Why did Labour have to haemorrhag so much cash in foreign aid,pensions for the islands and race horse tracks in the beginning before seeing what we needed it for first?. They gifted our millions away when it should have been spent on fixing this country first.

How can the Govt stop them?, make it a condition of signing up for the benefit that they agree to not applying credit while on the benefit.If they need help with necessities like a washing machine or such they can go to WINZ to get approval which is what they do now for appliances.
