and a foreign producer overestimating the threat of that.
No, This is how they roll, they have been here before..... which is where it always was.

"It's a fairly heavy duty team that's actually come down to New Zealand and I think that's actually a good thing," Mr Key told Breakfast on TV One.
"If they were just coming to say 'no' then they wouldn't bother actually to send such a senior team."
However, they would still come down, spending vast sums on lawyers to say, not pay double time in lieu, when to just do so would be considerably less.
Seems to me that actors should be taking action against their unions...
Well,that would be about as helpful as thinking Key has an interest on behalf of the workers here.
The reality is we don't make a lot of money out of this movie, the (tax) breaks are any where between $60 million and $80m at the moment which is a 15 percent subsidy. Essentially what that means is it is a wash from the Government's point of view, what we earn we give back to them."
NAT MACT don't notice the actors in this equation.
One area the Government was willing to look at was amending the definition of a contractor following a successful court case where former Weta Workshop model maker James Bryson was deemed to be an employee, not a contractor.
See,the government will stop that happening again.

Have you seen a doctor about that aberrant behaviour pattern of yours, Sofie?
I'm hoping you mean the fact that I actually read it, but it was needed later to prove a point. I'll leave mention of him from now on.
Here's hoping anyway. :) -
Please correct me if I'm wrong,
That sounds right Joe but, Housing NZ is the pensioner housing for the elderly in Auckland. I vaguely remember john Banks screwing that around last time he was our mayor, which annoyed me then and now. The state houses were offered at market value to those in one but all of a sudden $750,000 in Ponsonby became impossible for tenants to remain there although my sis did, but her rent tripled.

Don't blame the left,
Yes, that really bothered me this morn when I read that twerp Paul Holmes' crap. "Left filth... " iirc.

John Key. "No question, the unions....."

While you tea-bagger wannabes....,
Same shit, different day Brendon. Perhaps you are just coming to terms with what the National M Act government is but even before this cosy trio was formed there was nothing new to be discovered.It's the same shit! different day.
