Your home is not going to increase in value at the same rate as your parents’. The housing bubble is over. The post-crisis era of very cheap debt is over. Inflation is back. There will be no repeats of the extraordinary era between 1990-2020. graceblakeley.substack.com/p/the-housin...

Impossible to invent something as absurd as the Minister for Cracking Down On Truancy And School Lunches not knowing it is the school holidays www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

'Why are you not in school?' It’s school holidays

David Seymour stopped to speak to some children at Velocity Valley in Rotorua, giving them a piece of advice.

“Don’t trust politicians,” he said. “Are you a politician?,” they questioned.

After the three children asked if he was going to be on the news and waved at the cameras, he said: “hey, one question, how come you guys aren’t at school?”

It’s school holidays, they said.

Seymour said they could still go into school, but the kids didn’t seemed thrilled by that idea.

“No, it’s ok,” they said before walking away.

This image is a screenshot of an official New Zealand Hansard transcript detailing an oral question-and-answer session between members of Parliament.Transcript Text Header: Oral Question 2: Prime Minister Asked by:
Rt Hon CHRIS HIPKINS
Answered by: Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: The Deputy Prime Minister, with all respect, doesn't speak for the National Party.

Rt Hon Chris Hipkins:
When real wages have fallen, power prices have gone up, insurance prices have gone up, rates have gone up, insurance has gone up—all by more than 20 percent, under his leadership, in just the last two years—will he now admit that the cost of living crisis is not only not over; it's getting worse under his leadership?

Rt Hon CHRISTOPHER LUXON: What I'd say, again—you know, cry me a river. But I'd say if that member was serious about supporting people, why didn't you support tax relief for the first time for working New Zealanders? Why don't you come out and support a council rates cap? Why don't you come out and support structural separation for supermarkets? No idea.


*** Just remembering that the tax relief National gave didn't amount to much and only applied to working families and gave more to those on higher wages than lower wages.
The council caps will result in less services for communities and individuals, services like access to public swimming pools, libraries and mobile libraries, etc
Structural separation of supermarkets that National have promised to ONLY RESEARCH if elected back in unlike the changes proposed by Labour or the Greens.
