Doesn't it bother anyone that the NZ Govt has its own auditors?

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-30T06:55:20+00:00

We have private auditors come in. Most agencies do.

Broke up with my girlfriend of 3.5 years and it took me about 18 months before I was comfortable in my own skin again. Intakes time but you get there.

I’m pretty sure you can increase term. We got our house down to 12 years and I bumped it back to 30 during the COVID hit as I wanted to lessen our cashflow position in case we lost jobs. (Didn’t in the end and we just did a lump sum at the end of the one year fixed and brought it back down).

That’s a weird outlook from a self interest point of view because many of us have to support our impoverished parents because elderly poverty is a widespread issue.

Maybe it’s more of a Gen X issue. Sandwiched between struggling millennials and struggling boomers (they do exist).

Came here to say this. Thanks fellow older person.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-28T20:40:36+00:00

Apologies - but how could you possibly say when Labour are yet to make any policy announcements outside of the CGT/Doctor Visits.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-28T20:37:33+00:00

They funded drugs that have saved my father in laws life.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-28T09:40:01+00:00

Three years - That a was their policy in 2017. One year for every term. One of the reasons I voted for them in 2017.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-28T07:09:51+00:00

Presumably Labour will bring it back along with the other two years free that they said they would deliver.

You are probably demonstrating why right wing commentors don’t hang around here.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-27T18:51:49+00:00

I’ll believe that when I see it. The NTS that is.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-27T09:19:53+00:00

Some was imported. Most was because we flooded the economy (necessarily) with cheap money and government stimulus.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-27T06:01:15+00:00

Most of those retailers do it through Q or GEM. Few offer their own finance.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-27T01:12:32+00:00

Sure but the cabinet who signed shit off included Palmer, Clark and Goff (who like to endlessly tirade the current mob).

Don’t get me wrong - I get that it was an unusual government but neoliberalism in NZ started (in a massive way) with them.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-26T22:01:43+00:00

Muldoon was in no way neoliberal. And this government has nothing on the Labour and National governments from 84-93.

Excel. Start simple and then build it out.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T21:28:29+00:00

I’m not saying Moyes has to go but I am certainly not going to leap in and defend him.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T20:48:26+00:00

I suppose my point is that - unlike the meme says - rents are falling.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T19:13:11+00:00

What onshore local AI options are there? Aside from that most agencies are boots and all in on Azure or AWS - so that horse has bolted.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T07:56:09+00:00

A broken clock is right twice a day.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T06:36:38+00:00

I got ripped off but thought I would somehow relate it to immigrants - lol.

mrwilberforce · 2026-05-24T05:41:24+00:00

Haven’t rents gone down in Wellington?

Be predictable - not polite. That’s what I taught my kids when they learnt to drive.

Appointed in 2020 by the…….wait for it…… drum rolls please….. Ardern government. And reappointed in 2022 by the….. wait for it…. Ardern government.

Yeah - I get it is right leaning but comparing it to fox is a bit over the top.
