Opinion Auckland Culture Sport Puzzles Sunday Star-Times Regions ‘An attack on Wellington’: Capital unemployment up 50% under current government Tom Hunt Tom Hunt November 6, 2025 Share Nationwide, unemployment rose to 5.3%, which is the highest it has been since 2016. Wellington’s rate now sits at 4.3%. JUAN ZARAMA PERINI / THE POST Wellington’s unemployment numbers have risen by 50% – just shy of 5000 people – since the last general election brought a National-led government to power. Latest Stats NZ unemployment figures show that there were 9500 unemployed people in Wellington in the September 2023 quarter versus 14,300 now. The National-led government, with ACT and New Zealand First, came to power after the October 2023 election. Nationwide, unemployment rose to 5.3%, which is the highest it has been since 2016. Wellington’s rate now sits at 4.3%. Council of Trade Unions chief economist Craig Renney said the increase could be largely attributed to public service job cuts and the flow-on effects including a loss of confidence. Wellington’s number was lower than the national figure but started at a lower base, he said. It was 2.9% in September 2023. The numbers were the “human casualties” of the Government’s choices, Public Service Association national secretary Fleur Fitzsimons said.

Death by a stab in the front, we all know they hate Wellington for not voting for them but government by nasty, petty grudge is not how anyone prospers #NZPol

Here, a self ordained bishop of Destiny's Church, who are a bunch of thugs who go round vandalising anything that looks like a rainbow, threatening women and children taking part in Pride parade and storming schools where an LGBTQ reader may be doing their bit for the community by reading to kids.

The success of kaupapa Māori organisations in reducing reoffending has been overlooked by the Luxon Government.

Most of us don't even really have a concept of what it would be like to be rich, we'd just like to know our card will accept at the petrol station, direct debits will go through, we can do the food shopping, pay the rent, get a takeaway, have a fuckin' treat

The rich and sorted don't get it

It will be as shitty as the school lunches debacle.

In today’s NZ Herald

Who knew what and when about the controversial anti-strike Facebook ads? But Christopher Luxon says that didn’t happen and the Commission denies it was seeking approval. Labour wants Collins to clarify and is reminding the Commission to be politically neutral.

Have Nats forgotten how serco's running of Mt Eden prison ended in disgrace when it came out they'd been running fight clubs with the prisoners? Because I doubt the media have forgotten #NZPol

Bombshell report exposes how Meta relied on scam ad profits to fund AI Meta goosed its revenue by targeting users likely to click on scam ads, docs show.

This can’t come as a surprise to anyone on FB or Insta, who have been awash with the lowest quality ads for simply ages now.

This is an Atlas-networker braying his neo-fascism distortion of history which is NOT the wider human story. His experience of snap-chatting the underaged and protecting a convicted sexual predator, ex-ACT president, apparently gives him braying rights for an unfit for purpose school curriculum.

Thanks Holly. I really appreciate you sharing this. :-)

Should read " $90MILLION "

This vermin has the gall to say doctors are "unethical" when he has given himself a 10% wage rise and stolen $90 from the DHB who won a settlement from Masterton hospital and is the reason why Wellington women have to go outside the city for treatment.

And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate.

Today it roars once more — at the tyrant in the Oval Office.
