Unions are such a big part of our ability to expand together.Unions are such a big part of our history of social order. The idea a single worker has more power than a collective is crazy economics. Look at the Samoan Rugby Union team , it is now trying to express through unionisation , with help from their socialist All Black businessmen friends.
Unions protect employment law. In your life you will spend more time at your employment than with your family and friends.
Employment Law is very important although occasionally abused, e.g John Hawkseby, Susan Wood for example.

It's all a bit silly. Turn on your radio anywhere and the discussion is trivial and baffling. Political commentary here is like an endless audition for "The Five".

Little is the voice now. Lets work with it.
He has to addressthe Auckland property weirdness quickly before Auckland Central turns into a literal capital grab fueled on the existence of a wealthy elite. He needs to address the awkwardness of our economy, given that the only tool National has is Key's crawly foreign policy attempts to open foreign markets to us. No vision on lowering employment and domestic job creation and stability.

Dear Mr Little.
The issue of sharing the gdp fairly amongst the citizens is Labours core message now to election day .Most of us, who haul our tired bodies out of bed each morning to work for the strength of the economy are sick of receiving less and less each year while wealth soars for the wealthy.
Pay your fair share to make this country strong.

If Grant won, here's what would happen The media would have made a huge issue of his orientation and the idea of a gay prime minister. It would of locked in the idea to the Joe Public centrist that Labour is run by sexual politics, an ugly rumour that is vogue for the right wing.
There is still so much weirdness out there to gay citizens and no, it's not good or healthy but this is the problem of G.R. It's not good but I don't think our press are mature enough to handle him fairly. It sucks.

Hard News: The Boom Crash, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Oysters would disagree.
Having a ruling body that can handle poverty without judging the fuck out of the isolated participants of that class is what I want to make.

I hope you are happy Sofie, that's the pursuit. Of course you may just have a great fortune there in your social mobility.

For some citizens it is going to cost a social fortune to retire Auckland. Families and friend networks are huge in that city. Very strong for the poorer Aucklander. That's their big part of their quality of life, not annual trips to Europe and school holiday ski vacations. Auckland is hard to quit for those who see the city as their natural place.

Churches need to realise that they are worshiping the same god and learn to pray together. The amount of land occupied by churches in Auckland would piss Jesus off. Too p.c to mention in politics I know.

Hard News: The Boom Crash, in reply to Jim Cathcart,
Housing is now a utility. We need well-housed citizenry. It needs to be removed as an investment tool and it needs to be recognised as a major asset for a modern city.
Auckland is no longer Dorkland. Auckland is 170 years of beauty and heartbreak. Auckland is the home to the coolest rockstar on the planet at the moment. Auckland is nice. Auckland needs to be the most progressive city in the world. It needs to greet the communities coming their way, so attracted to the underground current of Auckland more than the overground blandness. Housing is really a not for profit endeavour now. Housing is a Maslow need. If you have excess money it must go into business not property, capitalism needs to be pure and not distorted by a scramble for basic living needs.
