  KiwiSaver for new businesses
Posted by: thephoenix - 29-07-2020, 01:29 PM - Forum: Opinion and Politics - No Replies

See that Judith thinks that we should be able to withdraw $20k of our KiwiSaver money to start a business, because it's "your money".

Surely under that logic, I should be able to withdraw it all?

Also given the failure rate of businesses, isn't that just encouraging us to more than likely lose $20k?

Maybe she was joking? Couldn't really tell, her drawn on eyebrows always seem permanently raised...

A study to evaluate the potential of using Lake Onslow in a pumped hydro storage set-up seems well advanced. Great idea if the viability is there. The technology is already proven in the UK at least. This video explains the mechanics of how such a system works:

Greedy corporates make me sick and their advertising BS about sustainability is sickening.

MPs are rapidly becoming an endangered species and need to be protected.

Maybe they could all be shifted to an island free of predators/cell phones/their own stupidity?

Not sure what annoys me most...

1) Their latest arrogant/idiot MP
2) Collins & Co taking three days to paint it as a mental health issue. If that's the bar they're going to set, then they might as well just wave off every indiscretion as an mental health issue. He was being a creepy 37 year old.
