The minimum wage increased by 1.5% this year. Data today from Stats NZ shows annual increases of:

- Food prices up 4.7%
- Fruit up 11%
- Beef up 17.4%, Lamb up 32.2%
- Bread up 11.4%
- Cheese up 14.8%
- Eggs up 16.2%
- Electricity up 11.8%

Laser-focused on the cost of living

And that would encourage tourism and....growth. We're all about growth.

Outstanding summer day for me, early rise, gym, breakfast in the sun, 8km beach walk, first swim, big aftenoon nap, couple Bailey's with the neighbour, plant shopping, egg gathering, vege dinner outside, vodka soda, vinyl disco ❤️ a top day.

Classic induced demand situation. Are any transport planners involved in these projects?

This restores my faith in humans. #nzpol

It's one of the treats when travelling.

Sadly no Uniqlo in NZ and they dont deliver.

Unbelievably, Shane thinks the fast track isn't going fast enough and it appears to be too democratic so him and Bishop are reining it in, with a new bill to be passed under urgency.
This is preposterous. www.thepost.co.nz/business/360...

Govt introduces express lane for new supermarkets - Inside Government NZ The Government has today introduced the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill, creating a consenting express lane for new supermarkets. Economic Growth Minister, Nicola Willis says the Bill creates a ne...

“The policy statement makes clear that this express lane option is targeted at supporting the entry and expansion of firms that can challenge the dominance of existing major grocery retailers and offer genuine choice to consumers"

Isn't it the govt's job to challenge the dominance?

Amid an alleged cost of living crisis, NZ opens yet another big shop stuffed with imported cheap goods, which we assume will be hugely popular, so we need traffic management. FFS.

I have friends who would swap the captions.

I get they are running a business, shareholder value and all, but when NZ govt policy and decisions help create that? So, there is some 'growth'.

And proposing to spend $1b to do the same thing for the Hope Bypass. 🙄

All that corporate travel will do that to ya.

Exactly, it speaks to the current coaltion's lack of investment in health.

Will it come down to the motivation and numbers of voters? How many landlords (definitely benefit), versus how many kiwis want those funds directed elsewhere (and might benefit).

Unless they go up coalition bums.

Great thread and I believe you are correct. The left is uncoordinated and lacking a narrative. It really worries me and I'm not sure what will shift that in time for NZ.

I wouldn't have believed it was that blatant but they've actually said as such and budgeted billions for their ignorant nonsense.

A 20-year solution to an immediate and growing transport need? At least I have years left on the cycle path.

The Chase > 1 News has a lot to answer for.

As a comms and PR specialist, who the hell is advising and reviewing these ministers?

I read this article and didn't want to shout at the screen. That's good.
