The bill to disestablish the authority will have its final reading this morning under urgency as the health minister paints 'a different dream' for meeting the health needs of Māori
Bishop's stated ambition that houses should cost 3-5 times the median wage is all very well.
But how does the government intend to get there when (a) it is actively driving real incomes down for low and middle income people, (b) continuing to fuel the housing speculative bubble with tax cuts/billions in corporate welfare to landlords, no capital gains tax, (c) not pushing a massive public housing build programme, and (d) not reinstating the incentives that worked such as low interest loans from State Advances and capitalising the family benefit.
If his "different dream" is so great, why not reveal it BEFORE repealing the existing arrangement and hear the views of those most directly affected? The fact that he refuses to discuss in advance reveals a complete lack of interest in providing an effective alternative. This is just political theatre and it's going to harm people
🤬😡 The "urgency" in getting these unpopular policies through is to try & cut off public pushback & protest. They are hoping to get things over quickly so we will all forget by next election... Up to those who care to make sure it is NOT forgotten, along with other bad/sad/harmful things they are promising 😡
More racist "just asking questions" drivel from Mark I see... I'm sure a smart diligent racist such as yourself could FIND any such research if you tried? (excluding that done by Nazis & other recognised fascist/racists I mean...)
Thanks for clarifying. I could not believe what I was reading. Its so ugly that there are people out there who still think this way. These days I dont know whether to laugh or cry .......or rip their heads off!!!!

Instead, he pushes the free market myth.

You’re wrong. It’s alive and well.

Satire right?
Unfortunately not... This commenter is a repeat offender in racist comments/questions disguised as "reasonable" 😡
