When the ghouls say we need to grow the economy before we can afford the basics for our people, remember that our economy has made our households - on AVERAGE - amongst the richest in the world. Our issue is not the size of the pie, it's the size of the slice that goes to the rentiers.

Made the mistake of looking at the data behind Treasury's long-term briefing. It was Hooton's fault. I wanted to check if the statement quoted below was true... It wasn't 😲. But, jeez, these Treasury ghouls are dangerous. [🧵1/n]

The Govt have crashed the economy and kicked thousands of young people out of work. Now they're coming for their meagre benefits - to force them into selling their labour cheap to slave masters in the gig economy (or piling into debt for tertiary education). It is disgusting.

Makes perfect sense. Given the settings since the 1970s, Govt can only reduce debt (run surpluses) if (a) private sector is increasing debt *significantly* (b) we run large current account surpluses with the rest of the world, or (c) kiwis spend down their savings There's zero chance of (b) or (c).

Turns out objections to Te Reo signage was never about legibility or safety .... Distracting, unreadable and dangerous signage on the right coming to over 150 school communities across Auckland to replace the sign on the left.

On the left a 30 kmh KURA speed sign. On the right unreadable and dangerous variable speed signage

New Zealanders across the political spectrum want increased spending on public services, poll finds. This government is deeply out of touch on valuing our public services. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Pie graph titled '83% of kiwis want more public spending'. 48% increase spending by a lot, 35% increase spending by a bit, 11% stay the same, 3% decrease spending.

The Green Party budget proposes a *reduction* in income tax. More than 90% of income earners would pay less tax than currently. Everyone would benefit from massive increase in services like free primary health care, free public early childhood education, and so much more.

Game changing. Let's explore why a jobs guarantee is fabulous social *and* economic policy. Quick reminder that making sure kiwis have jobs is not that radical. NZ Govt thru the mid-20th century was scared witless if a few folks (well, white men) were unemployed. See image 2 (1960 Stats NZ) [🧵 1/n]

The Green Party has marked May Day with a pre-budget announcement in Tokoroa, detailing the party’s plan for a Green Jobs Guarantee.

READ THE FULL POLICY DOC

“New Zealanders should be in control of our economy, our jobs and our future. We don’t need to leave our fate to be decided by international shareholders,” says Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick.

“From the West Coast of the South Island, to Ohakune, to Tokoroa, in the last year alone, we’ve heard the same devastation driven by the same political decisions to let offshore companies decide the fate of regional communities.

“No more.

“Today, we launch our Green Jobs Guarantee, which will directly create at least 40,000 jobs across this country to rebuild our infrastructure, plant native trees and restore biodiversity, build homes and an economy that we, New Zealanders, own - and can genuinely be proud of.

“We’ve done it before and we can do it again. Before politicians took their hands off the wheel of the economy 40 years ago and sold off the assets we all used to own, we had a Ministry of Works. Our Ministry of Green Works builds on that proud tradition but is future fit for the climate transition.

“Our Future Workforce Agency, Mahi Anamata, will actively plan for the skills we need. We’ll revitalise and supercharge the roaring success of Jobs for Nature, and we’ll ensure everyone in this country who wants a good, decent, living-wage paying job will get one.

“In a time of global volatility, after a forty-year economic experiment that’s failed regular people and is currently seeing record numbers leave the country, it’s time to take back control and build our resilience.

“A better world is possible, and this is how we build it,” says Chlöe Swarbrick.

Excerpt from 1960 Stats NZ Yearbook:
Of recent years special attention has been directed to the problem of Maori employment. Outstanding features of the Maori population are its rate of growth and the fact that the Maori people are largely resident in localities remote from the main centres of industrial activity. Practical measures for ensuring the continuing absorption of the Maori race into full employment have included the fostering of Maori apprenticeships and the establishment of Maori youth hostels.

In the post-war years the labour situation was characterized by overfull employment and a high number of vacancies in industry. Over the last two years, however, the employment situation has not been quite so buoyant; the number of notified vacancies dropped to 5,300 in October 1959. During the winter months of 1959 there was insufficient work for seasonal workers during the off-season and it was necessary to accelerate scheduled Government works and to arrange limited subsidized employment with local authorities to provide work for men who could not be placed in normal avenues of employment. The peak figure for disengaged workers was reached in August 1959 (1,526 males and 130 females).

One employment promotion measure which has been in operation for some years is Scheme 13, under which 57 men were employed at 31 March 1960, compared with 52 on 31 March 1959. Most of these men are fit for light work only and are located in districts where employment opportunities are limited. Everything possible is done to place them in suitable private employment when the opportunity arises. They are allocated to local authorities and their wages are subsidized to an extent which brings their earnings up to the award rate for the type of work performed.
