This is stupid. Its the job losses, fear of more job losses and low pay. You can force people back to the office 5 days a week and just make them miserable by having to pay for and endure more commute time. But they still won't be able to afford to buy lunch when they're there.

But you can earn as much additional income as you like and still receive the pension? If we capped earning at $106 would that a) disincentivise work, or b) disincentivise pension uptake? I dont understand how its possible to track this for one and not the other www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...

"Could it be Jessica Rose instead though? She’s running alongside Labour’s Waitākere incumbent Shane Henderson, who’s long been the loudest pro-housing voice on council. Her platform aligns with the Greens, with a focus on encouraging alternative transport and protecting the environment."

Cr Turner now asking how we get rid of increased housing capacity. Complaining about Glen Eden housing built _under current rules_ cos landlords are leaving houses empty. Cr Hills heroically trying to explain to him PC78 is the default & the new plan actually decreases density in much of Glen Eden.

What I find fascinating about this chart is that people voted for this government because they were unhappy about the direction of Labour government, but at no time since the election have the majority thought this government is doing a good job #nzpol

And they're up! But so many who haven't responded. If anyone is looking for suggestions on who to vote for, you can narrow it down to the people who actually answered the questions - admittedly, it did take hours. #nzpol #democracy #votejess4west policy.nz/2025/aucklan...
