The happiest of New Years to you all - with all the nonsense in the States it looked like it was shaping up to be 2020 redux, but if we focused on what was happening in this country, things were rosy. Beautiful, beautiful weather - young and not so young Kiwis heading off to music festivals - swimming, fishing, travelling the country and making the most of exploring stunning locations. For many of us, it was a perfect summer made all the more glorious by watching and hearing stories of the lockdowns

I cannot go past Trevor Mallard's actions this morning. Maybe it's just me, but I find what he's done utterly appalling.It’s bad enough to call a man a rapist, when he is not one. I can’t think of many things worse than being called a rapist.Mallard than issues a personal apology on the very same day the inquiry into the mosque shootings are released.In effect, he was hiding under cover of the inquiry. He knew damn well what he was doing. It’s a time honoured parliamentary trick. Covering bad news

Finally, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Christchurch mosque shootings was released yesterday and I don't think there was anything that was news to us was there. The intelligence agencies were focused on terrorism being solely the domain of Islamist extremist. The police stuffed up when it came to granting the terrorist a firearms licence. The officers didn't pay enough attention to the suitability of the terrorists referees. There will be a beefing up of the laws around hate crimes and

Wouldn't be much use on the metal roads or for actually doing any grunt work.

2020/12/02

What on earth does declaring a climate emergency actually mean? Is it any more than hot air - which as we all know is damaging for the environment? In the past that's all it has been. Jamie Morton from the NZ Herald has written an excellent piece on this - he points out that, as of this year, 28 countries have declared a climate emergency along with 1400 local governments. Nelson City Council declared an emergency in May last year, followed by Wellington and Auckland councils a month later. But

The government has acted with alacrity and introduced legislation requiring employers to offer all their employees 10 days annual sick leave. A number of employers already do that – we have 10 days sick leave at this company, and I think half of the employers in New Zealand offer more than the legal limit.It has opted not to increase the maximum amount of sick leave that can be stockpiled by an employee however, keeping it at 20 days. The increase to the legal minimum will kick in from late 2021

2020/11/24

I'm sure the Helen Clark Foundation and the NZIER mean well with their calls for a big minimum wage boost. They say the fallout from Covid - the lack of skilled migrants coming into the country; the cheap money that's gushing from the money fountain in Wellington - means that we're in a unique position to build a more inclusive economy that shares the gains. NZIER deputy chief executive Todd Krebble says the impact of the Covid has not been felt equally - young people, women, people in particular

The old adage when it comes to children is one for mum, one for dad and one for the country, but the fertility rate among New Zealand women had fallen to the lowest level on record 1.63 - not even one for dad. Statistics NZ figures show the fertility rate hovered around 2 for much of this century, even getting above the 2.1 replacement level in several years. But in the past five years, figures have trended downwards. Lindsay Mitchell spoke to Heather du Plessis-Allan last night about a report on

The media last night and this morning - the television news channels, the newspapers, the radio stations - were all leading with the story that the Reserve Bank has put gasoline onto an already blazing hot housing market with the announcement that LVRs are set to return come March. Theoretically, requiring a bigger deposit, which is what the loan to value restrictions require, will calm down the market which has seen house prices rise five percent since the Covid 19 lockdowns against all
