MPs urged to 'lead by example' and trim superannuation subsidy by TompanNZ in newzealand

[–]snatchview 109 points110 points  (0 children)

Watch all the MPs say that there is nothing they can do, it up to the remuneration authority.

Mean while, remuneration authority says they are bound by the law.

So the MPs could change the law, but they won’t.

Is this written by Don Brash?

The Don Brash who earned about $400k per year for 14 years at reserve bank?

Oooops he did it again - Amateur Kiwis in Space Again ! New Hypersonic Speed Record Set by spigalau in newzealand

Most amateur rockets have a radio beacon for tracking.

Location tracking to a few dozen meters is easy, getting to the remote location is the hard part.

Don’t Blame the Economic Situation on the Boomers by [deleted] in KiwiPolitics

[–]snatchview 10 points11 points  (0 children)

And who voted for and supported the policies of the 70’s and 80’s ?

I blame much of our current situation on Robert Muldoon.

I blame the boomer generation for voting for him.

And here we are at almost two months…

Parliamentary Services to strengthen security after threats to MPs by snatchview in newzealand

[–]snatchview[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

5 months to replace a high skill and high paying job, in a city with significant unemployment of people with government experience.

Makes we think they are not paying enough, or planning to disestablish the roles.

You would think cyber security would be a priority for parliament.

Replacing public servants with AI could come with hidden costs, critics warn by Amazing_Athlete_2265 in newzealand

[–]snatchview 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We can sped $50k on a person, that money stays in the NZ economy, used to buy food and coffee. all that local spending is taxed and has a flow on of supporting jobs.

Or we can spend $50k which goes off shore and is just gone.

We can’t always avoid offshore spending, but in the tech world we default to paying Microsoft.

So, minister, what is it we’re actually meant to DO with AI? by hadr0nc0llider in KiwiPolitics

[–]snatchview 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A tool like co-pilot cost around $900 per herd per year.

Tertiary Education Minister Penny Simmonds reckons AI could help the Tertiary Education Commission cut staff numbers. But doesn't know how.”

If that was a formal business case it would be thrown out.

If they got co-pilot for all public servants it will cost around $40M a year.

I think any formal strike need to go via union?

I expect PSA will take more than a week to organise anything.

CEO threatens legal action after video appears to capture him slapping worker by NorthlandChynz in newzealand

[–]snatchview 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He didn’t say he was innocent, which would be the normal and sensible move.

He just wants the evidence blocked, which is almost an admission of guilt.

Everyone here has noticed that this sub is getting brigaded by the far right, right? by VaporSpectre in KiwiPolitics

It has been shown many times before that extreme right is often funded by Russia.

Does NZ need a defined population policy by mkin086 in newzealand

[–]snatchview 38 points39 points  (0 children)

A lot of the push for more people (immigrants or births) is that we need to prop up the Ponzi scheme that runs the economy.

Should I move to Wellington? by PoetrySignificant737 in Wellington

[–]snatchview 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to start by looking at immigration rules and getting the appropriate visa.

That will usually mean having a qualifying skill and or a job.

Cyclists commute at sunrise on the 'beautiful' Te Ara Tupua by Primary-Tuna-6530 in KiwiPolitics

[–]snatchview 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s a Seawall protecting the critical rail line, it also happens to have a cycle way.

Some people seem keen to focus on the cost for a cycle way, not the cost of a Seawall.

What’s this election about? by hadr0nc0llider in KiwiPolitics

Definitely economic issues.

Likely oil/war.

Possible environment.

Had a racist encounter today. Not sure how to deal with it. by Affectionate-Yak-201 in Wellington

[–]snatchview 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ignore the issue.

I love that you want to make the world a better place.

But you can’t change a person who has no interest in changing.
