Globederby19 Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 He retains some semblance of intelligence. Not bad for a loudmouth buffoon who was beaten for Cartertons Mayoralty by a Transvestite, and left our region with his tail between his legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellerslie, New Plymouth, Hastings, Awapuni, Trentham, Riccarton, Timaru all shit tracks that abandon frequently. Te Rapa, well I cant remember one, other than about 5 yrs ago when it was so windy the rail blew away. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Paul Henry went to Aus and couldn't cut it, so not sure what he is on about To say the country is broken and possibly beyond repair, is hysterical theatrics. Lots of things that need to be addressed better, but not beyond repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted June 9 Share Posted June 9 It is very easy for people to put labels on things, such as the country is broke. If it is done enough, it becomes the norm. The 'cost of living crisis' is another example. More likely to be due to many companies putting up prices excessively (price gouging) on the back of a supposed cost of living crisis. When, if you look at inflation in NZ over the last 3 years, prices should have gone up 18%, the multiplied CPI in each of the last 3 years. Now anybody who is familiar with buying things in NZ, primarily the groceries, and has a good grasp on mental arithmetic (a talent not taught in schools these days) will scoff at the thought prices have only gone up 18% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the great day was spoilt by the offerings in the members lounge, what was served was not befitting of such a day. I have been a member for over 10yrs & almost without fail attend every meeting, gradually over the last 12 months the offerings, service & general standard in the members has degraded to what was a new low yesterday. The offerings in the members is poor & the service is slow to hopeless at times, yesterday we ordered pies & savories (as there was virtually nothing else anyway) & they were cold, the slices were ordered were small and made 3 or more days ago. The bar opened at 11:45am & we ordered our first drinks to be told they had no Chardonnay & needed to go away and get it, really?. They had the entire morning to check stocks & get organized & don't have one of the most ordered drinks. We ordered coffee's late in the day & it took almost 2 races for us to see them, to the point where we had forgotten we had ordered. The absolute bizarre thing is that the public on level 1 enjoy a better selection & service, we ended up dispatching someone to go down there & get muffins/slices for us. This feeling is quite widespread amongst members from what I have heard, a smart thing would be to survey members to troubleshoot & get suggested improvements.

If it is done enough, it becomes the norm. Mate look at this, anyone intelligent can figure out this isn't sustainable for long. New Zealand's annual current account deficit was $27.8 billion (6.9 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)) in the year ended 31 December 2023, according to figures released by Stats NZ today. The deficit was $5.6 billion narrower than the $33.4 billion deficit in the year ended 31 December 2022 (8.8 percent of GDP) Australia's current account fell into a $4.9 billion deficit in the first quarter of 2024, a significant $7.6bn drop from the previous period, primarily due to a reduced trade surplus and an increased net primary income deficit, according to the latest ABS figures.

BarryB Posted June 9 Author Share Posted June 9 (edited) Overall, net debt in 2022/23 was $9.5 billion more than the prior year increasing from $61.9 billion (17.0% of GDP) to $71.4 billion (18.0% of GDP). Australia currently has almost A$900 billion of outstanding government securities on issue.
