maybe it is the duty of the Government to look after people that can t work rather then the businesses?
Maybe the Government a year into covid should have set up a webpage solely for wage -replacements and covid – isolation/quarantine payments that are so easy to use that even someone with lacking literacy skills, or less then best english skills can get onto it, fill out the forms and receive a payment if the criteria applies.
In saying that, after April there will be 10 sickdays, and it will be the business costs to pay isolation costs. 10 working days = 14 days.
Open mike is your post. For announcements, general discussion, whatever you choose. The usual rules of good behaviour apply (see the Policy). Step up to the mike …
Trigger-happy people are dangerous, guns shoot people and males get high on guns more than females. Police tried the careful approach to a guman in Aramoana and lost out.
There has to be a better program for these lost boys sent away from home by the sleazy-peazy Australian government wanting to slide out of their failures to integrate people. We are much the same here, but we haven t the option to pass the parcel. So let s have a sensible program, and give them something to ground them here, ability to turn their lives around and have a regular earning job and still keep in touch with there. Perhaps if the rehab was successful some returnees could help in working with our crims here on the basis If I can remake my life so can you . And bring in a visa system so we can keep track of what goes from here to there and vice versa. It would help if we knew how much vice is travelling over the Tasman!
Hi Pat. I think that ChCh is a bad example. Since the earthquake the city has spread out hugely to the west, north west and south west. In the east of course, which has historically been lower cost housing, its just one huge barren landscape in many areas. The whole market is totally distorted.
The new dwellings are all of a certain type. Flashy, expensive and not really good rental material. So, I would strongly disagree that supply has increased
in the rental market.
Agree with you re excess liquidity, along with interest rates sub 3% and the wrong incentives (lack of Capital Gains Tax).
Bloody annoying behaviour from Vector yesterday. Caused the site to be off for most of the day and evening.
We d been informed earlier in the month of a power shutdown from 8am to 10 am. That is on the limits of my UPS. I just organised to be home during the morning. The UPS ran until about 1013.
By which time, I was asking about why it was taking so long. The workers then told me that the power would be off until sometime around 4pm.
Unfortunately the system shutdown hard, because of problem in the UPS configuration. I had to repair the partition tables of the two drives that are the current TS system.
