Have Your Say

On 1 January 1980 in NZ….

Houses were essentially cheap. Mortgages were hard to get (expensive second mortgages, sometimes lawyers loans) but the capital buy in was very achievable.
House insurance was cheap, as were council rates.
Councils were small, close to the community and accountable.

Food was cheap.
Daily consumables were relatively cheap as was rent if you did not own .
The DPB was only a few years old.
There was no WFF bit basic family tax credits.
The Public Service soaked up those who were marginally employable but with moderate salaries and little political idealism.
They were employed and engaged with society, having dignity and something to do 5 days a week.
(Compared to 40 year later where public service is chokka with are overpaid, destructive, disruptive, activists)

Consumer durables were expensive but were mainly durable like the fridge, washing machine. 15+ year life.
Electronics like stereo gear was expensive but not frequent purchases.

The motor vehicle was relatively expensive being one third to a quarter the price of a 1300 sq foot single level house; for a 2 litre new car.
It was still a crossover situation of low quality English junk posing as cars; and the early days of Japanese vehicles that still had a hill to climb to improve quality.
Maintenance costs were notable compared to a say 2010 new buy.
Not nosebleed high but more than they are now.

Clothing and footwear was an aberration; being relatively expensive.
Paying for local jobs and local employment.
Who has sewing machine in 2024?

Life at the basic level was good even if after 2 ‘oil shocks’ where there was the start of notable unemployment.

Supermarkets were only open 5 days a week so did not have the power they have today to control producers.
There were far less liquor outlets.

Things had a fair balance, with trade offs.
Mr. Muldoon told us the IMF were a bunch of shysters and people did not listen.
He said in his January 1987 Orewa speech the Stockmarket was in serious danger of collapse.
10 months later it did and never got away again for a quarter century.

——————–
compare and contrast tor 10 years later where supermarkets were open 7 days a week, there were booze outlets everywhere, unemployment was endemic,
Jap import cars had lowered prices, house prices were waaay up.,

the councils were wrecked (Michaël Bassett 1989) , the Treaty train had left the station and the country was in a depression that lasted 5 years.

Don Brash was Governor of the Reserve Bank for a 14 year term that has proven to be a disaster for NZ .
Productivity died but we are told we were unproductive prior to Roger Douglas/Prebble changes!!!

Society had been changed massively in 10 years.
Maybe people did mainly lock their doors in 1980 but by 1989 there was an armed bank robbery nearly every day.
Kind of like the Ram Raids after 6 more years of liebour in 2017 to 2023.

6 of those years in the 1980s were a Liebour govt.
The core of it was a Chicago School of Economics disciple , Roger Douglas who Rogered the country.
we have what we have today; and since then there has never been a PM who gives a flying fuck about the well being of traditional NZers.

The RMA was being formed in the late 1980s and taken over and passed by Traitor Bolger and Soimon Upton.
It has been the biggest productivity killer in our history.
Those involved are traitors and should be hung until death.

The Bolger creep is trying to roger the good people of the Kapiti coast today. That vile wrecker never gives up.

It all began on on Bastille day 1984. 14 July.
The country was stormed by radicals and control freaks posing as the better way of ‘free marketers. ‘
the decline began.
The BNZ collapsed, twice.
The Stockmarket was a wild west of cross holding bullshit that made nothing.
Chase corporation burnt down buildings at night if the owner would not sell at the asking price.
No repercussions.
These shysters and conmen like Judge, Brierley critters, Renouf, Hawkins, were lawless men of straw.

This was the takedown in NZ.
the 1980s.
People like Nixon and Muldoon are much maligned by the mockingbird media because they dont fit the takedown narrative.
As men they certainly had flaws although is fierce determination a flaw?

rogernomics was just a copy of Thatcherism and Reaganomics .
So just like climate bullshit and , CONvid these events happened in these countries in the same way at the same time.
How coincidental. 😯😯
there is that word again.

We were screwed in a world wide coordinated attack in the 1980s pretending things would be better, and they were not.
I will be revising my view of Margaret Thatcher from now. Previously I thought she was good, with flaws.

Prove me wrong !!

Q. Why did they pick Lady Gaga to be in the horror film Joker: Folie à Deux ?
(Real name Stefani Germanotta )

Ans.
Because she was already scary looking and did not need any make up.

In a movie first she could go makeup free.
In fact she used to have to put on lots of make-up so she did not scare away her audience and fans .

The film received a rare “D” on CinemaScore and a 33% rating on Rotten Tomatoes

It has lost at least a net $150 Million USD
Budget USD 200 million
Box office returns USD 206 million

A film needs to earn double budget normally, to break even.
Allowing for Cinema and distribution margins. Plus marketing.

On Audience polls it scored 1.8 out of 5.0

I wont be seeing it and never intended to.

You can transport the same to NZ.
It fits like a glove.

What has key, adern, luxon done any different?

You can transport to UK with a minor change on pt 2.
AU has had manufacturing and heavy industry to wreck.
The UK wrecked it -the commie unions plus Harold Wilson/Liebour in the 1960s.

These things are all sprayed out in unison.
Militant unions in the 1960s and 1970s
Thatcherism, Reaganomics, Rogernomics in the 1980s.
At least Keating and Hawke had some national identity to not screw the country blindly like douglas prebble caygill.
Climate scary horseshit in the 1990s 2000s
CONvid in 2020
These are all coordinated attacks.

and scum politicians enforce them
for masters we are sheltered from.

The so called Conservatives- UK; Liberals AU; notional – NZ are just piss weak, leaky umbrellas from the liebour onslaught.
Take shelter for a few years then the onslaught and slaughter starts again.

Watching the videos of ‘resist resist’ that Waikato girl posts wont make a blind bit of difference.
That is just tea and cakes for the disaffected.
