Hesi Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 What has that got to do with the price of fish, we are talking about the Barry and Maxi Comedy Hour, you can talk about racing if you must Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 The price of many things has sky rocketed, well beyond the supposed COL crisis, which if you multiply out the CPI index over the last 3 years, comes to 18%, which even a man of your intelligence would agree, is too much, but not a crisis. Try instead, the many small and large businesses, excessive profit taking and price gouging, justified by the supposed COL crisis, as a reason for the sky rocketing prices. You know as well as I do, that many of the things you buy have gone up by a lot more than 18% in the last 3 years, try 40-50% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hesi Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 Open your eyes Barry, there is a COL crisis, because most businesses in NZ are pushing prices as much as they can, using the supposed COL crisis as a reason, and I have just explained the COL has gone up 18% in 3 years, which is excessive but no crisis, and I'm sure even you with your blue tinged or whatever coloured spectacles you wear these days knows that prices have gone up a lot more than that.

Hesi Posted December 29, 2023 Author Share Posted December 29, 2023 A lockdown I would point out that the Nats confirmed would have done also. Agree with the last sentence though, including them being too soft with their own Govt departments, that saw the trough almost become bottomless, and the focus was on 'cultural' aspects like everyone learning a totally useless language in Maori Interesting that there was a parallel in racing with the empire building that went on at the Racing Board, that was only resolved when they sold it to Entain for 25 years. The turkeys were never going to vote for an early Xmas, and it will take a very tough line that the new government will have to hold, to reduce costs in these oversized monoliths.

Maximus Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 Hesi-meister the COL crisis was amplified by Labour's reckless/dangerous pumping of billions of cash into the NZ economy with no accountability and extended way too long beyond the lockdowns. Net result? SMEs copped a perfect storm of rising overheads (eg fuel, power) compounded by rising wages, rents, more holidays (4 weeks/Matariki) and higher compliance costs. Manufacturing stalled as demand tanked. Consequently, prices rose even higher, and the country was awash with cash...until the reality of mortgage increases, (from a base of 2% in 2019 to nearly 8% in 2023) rent, power, fuel, groceries etc start to really bite. That misery kicked in just in time for Labour to cop the inevitable miserable election result they deserved. Cindy flocked off before the ship sank. What a pathetic legacy. NZ will take years, perhaps decades, to recover from this, and the Nats/Act/NZF coalition cannot repair everything all at once. The bleeding-heart socialists/Greenies and woke-meisters had best get used to copping some disappointments of their own in the next few years. I note one M. Davidson trying to score points in the House over Winnie not answering a question asked in te reo Maori, an 'official language'. Indeed, it is. So is sign language...and I bet you Davidson (and most Members) couldn't answer a question posed to her in sign language. So there.

MM In terms of COL, the Government of the day can only be held accountable for the official CPI data, which approx over the last 3 years has been 4, 7 and 6%, as I said before excessive but not a crisis, and part of that can be attributed to worldwide factors beyond their control such as Covid restrictions worldwide and the Russia/Ukraine war.
