We've got a decent place (Only had to rip out most of the carpet to get rid of the cat piss) in Chch for $250, but now it's being repaired and we're looking at at least another 50-75 a week if we don't want to live in New Brighton

What's wrong with New Brighton? You don't want to live half a foot underground? In other news, does anyone have a link to footage of Bernadine Oliver Kerby calling out Mike Hosking on his bullshit? From this article it sounds amazing and I want to see it: http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/84193664/newsreader-walks-out-as-mike-hosking-declares-its-mans-time-on-show quote:Obviously somewhat cowed - which is a story in itself - Hosking replied, "What I said was, I said - you were hanging around outside the studio, and I said, 'Do we really need her lads?'"

Actually there's a very good reason - it allows them to redistribute the education budget from government schools (boo! hiss!) to charter schools (wow! private sector efficiency!)

Some low-decile schools get more "at risk" kids and less money. How in the everloving gently caress are those schools expected to do anything?

The point to bulk funding is it allows the ministry to slowly strangle the schools without directly doing things like reducing teacher numbers. Instead they give the schools choice on how they spend their money. Which they then slowly erode through small cuts or sub-inflation increases. Then they can attack the unions for taking money away from local schools. Or even push for different contracts for different schools.

It discourages schools from taking on more experienced staff, and it will result in new teachers basically being dumped into the deep end without middle-management support. The ones that benefit are the private schools and charter schools. And poo poo, it's not even Parata's call to make in the end. It's a decision reserved for those stupid loving unqualified parasites that occupy cabinet.

I have so much empathy for those poor baby boomers who bought their house at the height of inflation in the 80s. Oh wait, I don't, because while interest rates might have been high you could reasonably save a deposit for an asset priced close to its paper value and have a home instead of being trapped in a cycle of predatory rent.

sure auckland is hosed but if you don't like it why are you choosing to live there? we bought our place just before the boom but it doesn't loving matter because if we sell we just have to pay an equivalent value for somewhere else. all of these people complaining about not being able to afford a house are either a: wanting something beyond their means b: looking in the wrong place there is NO reason a family in auckland couldn't move to dunedin and live a full and happy life, but they don't want to. baby-boomers have worked harder than I ever will have to. they've done the hard work now I just have to sit back and import a million poor immigrants who can cook and clean my parents retirement home while I chill out in the wairarapa.

it's interesting that our parents were willing to get on a loving boat for 4 months from England (or a plane from India, or Samoa, or whatever) to get here to potentially provide a better life for their children (us) but to ask the same thing of the current generation makes you right wing? wtf people just don't want to sacrifice ANYTHING. of course there are edge cases where, perhaps due to some mental issue, people aren't able to provide for their family, but generally these folk complaining of high rent or prices could EASILY (compared to how difficult life is for most of the world) change location to find work more suited to their skills and abilities. i am not for one second saying 'the fix is for everyone to relocate to Dunedin' but what I am saying is that for A LOT of the folk having housing issues, relocation is a very real and often overlooked solution. jeez

Right. Because I can afford to travel to Dunedin at least twice for interviews without a guarantee of getting that job? THEN I am able to secure a place to live straight away, without having seen the place in person, allowing me to immediately pack everything up and shift to literally another island? And finally, I get to leave all of my friends and family behind to live in Dunedin? Congratulations. You have solved New Zealand.
