  Extra Signage?
Posted by: Magenta69 - 19-08-2022, 05:27 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (1)

This was tragic, but why do people climb over fences, ignore signage and take such risks to get their photos. Will more signage really stop them?

Labour and National have both failed us.
Seems the public is too dumb to remember each parties mistakes and we just flip-flop between red and blue and its got us nowhere.

Matt King from the National party has created his own party called Democracy NZ, i think his goal is to address the root of the problems we faced in the wake of the COVID pandemic and intends to write the bill of rights into law.
I think everyone here can agree thats a good thing.

Exclamation Bodies found in suitcase(s) in Auckland

Be Aware of anything you buy in storage lockers!
It turns out they bought the contents of the storage locker presumably on trademe.
Quite disturbing, we still dont know how many bodies they have found.

  Biggest ever recorded jump in weekly earnings as median NZ wages rise
Posted by: Oldfellah - 17-08-2022, 01:25 PM - Forum: News and Current Affairs - Replies (14)

A key measure of Kiwi wages and salaries has shot up by its largest margin since records started 24 years ago.
Stats NZ data released today showed median weekly earnings from wages and salaries rose 8.8 per cent in the year to June 30.
According to the income survey, median earnings were now $1189.

All good but how about putting up the pension then especially in these times, sure we get The Winter Energy Payment but is it really enough? I dont think so, the amount of money the government has been splashing about lately throwing some our way would be nice.

We dont hear much on our TV much about this anymore since the evergrande saga, but things are not looking good in China, question is will this drive them to go to war?
