Why would Labour have a contingency sum of $12.5 billion to settle pay equity claims of 120,000 women? That would equate to $104,000 each
Labour wanted to give $12b of hard earned taxpayers money to entitled women, thereby securing their votes for the ages, giving the unions a huge win and getting to virtue signal. All the while most of them don’t know what a woman is apparently.
If we really want equity, let’s do it. Men die 8 years earlier than women, men pay more in taxes, so in the name of equity, shouldn’t women pay 25% more towards superannuation? Thats not even bringing up the disparity in welfare, wff, accom support etc.
I’m yet to hear a legit claim to pay equity. A lot of noise but can someone please post an actual case or example and the reasons for the inequity? As I said last week, if an employer was able to pay women less than men, for doing the same job, then they would be doing so. This would reduce their wage bill by 25%, and who wouldn’t want that?
It just shows how out of touch and economically illiterate the left are when it comes to managing the economy. Last week we had Chloe, the mad greenie, interviewed by Jack Tame. If this doesn’t scare youn nothing else will.
Jack Tame would love to be a green mp but he has no path to the leadership anymore poor little petal.
The left do things like this all the world, to get votes.
I read yesterday Aussie Labour let in millions of immigrants in their last term and rushed through citizenship, in the marginal seats, just before the election to ensure success in those seats. I’m not sure what the length of time is in Aussie before you can apply for citizenship but i bet it is more than a few years.
wouldnt have made 1 bit of difference if it was true. many immigrants dont vote, dutton turned into a dud and pretty much handed albo the win.
fwiw aussie labour party is closer to nz national party then nz labour, albo is just luxon with hair and a more annoying voice.

So it is all ready to roll out into IRD AI systems to keep it all very simple.
I chucked some in some figures & came up with
$16 total per week:$16 through paying less income tax.You will contribute $16,250 more a year under our wealth tax.
That will leave a few of you coughing over the rest of your morning’s coffee.
While others may have thought “Yes Chloe & Marama, It is good to win the IRD Lotto of hand-outs”
“How soon & When & Where do I place my vote,
“Strawberry Fields, Forever”
Shhhhh, — the other stuff being said is for the organic mushrooms, never mind about the “golden goose”
1250 more… Greens Go and Fuck your selves.
The left are going off every day on X over this issue.
It exposes how they continually want more and more but have no idea where money comes from.
The argument around equity leads to universal basic income. Just pay everyone the same and see what happens.
The Greens are never far, hunkering & drooling for a taste of more water melon slices.
….. “Nearby, a curious pile of watermelon rinds formed what onlookers described as “a biodegradable shrine to solidarity.”
One passerby, mistaking the scene for a farmers’ market, asked if the watermelons were organic.
They were – nothing less than fair-trade, cruelty-free fruit would do for such an occasion. …..

So much to dip into about the life & dreams of Chloe & her well paid & frustrating lifestyle in this article.
The author of this did well last time painting some in the Te Pati with a special “a Bunnings test pot titled “Ngāti Bronze No.7”.
Sadly The Platform, Sean Plunkett apologized for being taken in by that meme, & where Winston Peters found it was so plausible in that interview.
Shane Jones enjoys parts the Tri-Coalition budget.
….. this Budget is the real oil: $200 million dedicated to accelerate, de-risk, enable your nation—our country, fellow MPs—to take a cornerstone in recovering a foundation industry destroyed by the last regime. ……
….. take the lid off and invite the Green Party to sniff it.
I daren’t do the same thing to my whanaungas in the Māori Party; they’ll claim ownership of it!
The Green Party’s likely to say, “We can match it with wind.”, but we don’t want your mung bean, pronoun version of wind. ……
….. That is why I’ve got no tolerance for the haka of victimhood. ….

If only Shane & Winston will build on this, to bring about & support an ACT dominate Government.
