wk, for instance, is technically not a public service department but a crown entity - but yes, i agree that the government is very unlikely going to get into the weeds over what is a public service department and what are independent entities owned by the government in order to screw winston out of one of his mandates unless they want another election next year.

it "matters" in the sense that crown entities are arms length from ministerial direction – they're governed by boards instead. for example, the children's commission (as an independent crown entity) generally can't be told what to do. waka kotahi and te whatu ora (as crown agents) do need to give effect to government policy, so they'd probs need to rebrand if asked – its just funny to me that the coalition agreement didn't actually include them

Look those are clearly all important details, but politicians shouldn't be expected to knows details. It would be hilarious if those agencies said "yes, sure, we'll rebrand when budgets and staff resources allow. At current levels of funding that is expected in 2034".

"Introducing legislation to refocus the Reserve Bank on a single mandate of price stability" sounds good but it's probably bad somehow?

Slavvy posted:"Introducing legislation to refocus the Reserve Bank on a single mandate of price stability" sounds good but it's probably bad somehow? Yep! The Reserve Bank’s main job is to keep inflation to somewhere around 2%. One of the great ways capitalism works is that if too many workers have jobs and the unemployment rate drops, then the workers might get uppity and start asking to get paid more, which is bad because it causes inflation. Ideally, you want a pool of unemployed people at all times to (theoretically) threaten to do the job cheaper than someone else, and that stops workers asking for more money, which in turn stops inflation from happening. Anyway, the Reserve Bank currently has some mandates applied to try and maintain maximum sustainable employment, eg have as many people in jobs as possible without inflation boiling over. This would remove that so that the bank no longer needs to have any regard for worker wellbeing. PS: try not to think too hard about the implications of having a system that requires people to be unemployed to function, and how that works with beneficiary bashing policies

The RBNZ has always had the mandate to keep inflation low and stable (between 1 and 3%, it's currently 5.6%). Since 2018 they have also had a mandate to support 'maximum sustainable employment'. National say the employment mandate distracted the bank from managing inflation. The bank say it didn't make a difference.

I thought Adrian Orr has complained about the dual mandate too? He's is hardly a socialist.Deep Glove Bruno posted:pathetic poo poo. but what's that one hour a day on reading, writing and maths thing? what exactly do they think is going on in schools? is this a culture war thing, do they think it's like "gender talk from 9 to 3"? It's complete populist nonsense, like a lot of their poo poo. They've got no idea how much time teachers currently spend on those things, no evidence that this will actually improve anything, and no way to measure or enforce it. It's also a clever bit of policy because it creates the impression that (incompetent/lazy) teachers are the problem. Same as their standardised testing policy, and the exit exams for graduating teachers. Like no one is going to say "actually teachers should teach less reading, writing and maths", and National saying "were going to make teachers do an average of one hour of each" makes people think "oh wow yeah why aren't they doing that already, that's a big problem" (they are, it isn't). It really fucks me off. Can you imagine them campaigning on a policy like that for literally any other profession? "Under National, doctors will have to follow ministry of health prescribing guidelines"? Like no poo poo, they already are, and when they aren't it's for good reason. They want to blame teachers for student achievement because otherwise they have to look at things like systemic racism and poverty and drug addiction and domestic violence and all the other poo poo that's going to get worse over the next three years. They're also ignorant of how the education system actually works, so aren't going to help teachers in any real way. They'll just slap on corporate management practices, like KPIs and data-driven accountability.

Free market economics is the most efficient way of assigning scarce resources! So if demand exceeds supply, you can just charge more for the exact same supply! Why would you ever invest in increasing supply in such an environment when you make make more profit for free?!

It's pretty unfair to assume that a party is racist based on it's history, policy and what it says. It would be more fair to complain after the irreversible damage from their racist policy has occurred. Also please be reasonable and pay no attention to anything coming from their coalition partners.
