Actually, Beneficiary economy under Cindy.

An example of how badly things have gone backwards under Cindy :
Nearly 10,000 New Zealanders have had to live in motels over the past three months, with the public housing waitlist up 50 percent on the same time last year.
That's more than triple the waitlist number shortly after the coalition government came to power - there were 6182 applicants in December 2017.
It's quite interesting to that prior to the last election, when National were in power, there were stories from the media continually about this or that family living in cars or on the streets. Not really a peep now though the situation is a lot worse than 3 yeasr ago.....
we have 4% unemployment so far enough said. :)
Not bothering to find the original thread I enjoyed this from Mary Holm in the Herald today. Gee I wonder if the objector was one of the self anointed "high priests" of this forum?
In April 2017, a superannuitant objected to being referred to as a beneficiary. In my reply I said names don't really matter. "As Shakespeare might have said, a superannuitant by any other name is still pretty lucky." That was based, of course, on Juliet's declaration to Romeo that "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Did you pull your head out of the sand for a breath Panda ? :
Hours worked were down by over 10% – another record.
