In the almost 7yrs since just prior to Covid, real wages in NZ have now increased by 0.2% in total. People might label the issue "cost of living" but it is likely to be a reflection of material living stds just not improving.
This is historically highly unusual.... 1/2
What is the point of Australia, Canada and New Zealand being part of the Commonwealth if its citizens don’t get more free access to each others country? I guess mass immigration has messed up this possibility also.
🚨🇦🇺 NEW: Andy Burnham and Anthony Albanese are set to discuss increasing restrictions on British backpackers using Working Holiday Visas in Australia
Proposals include removing an exemption that means Brits don’t have to do rural work to extend their visa as well as the introduction of a migration cap
BANKS: I purchase goods from an NZ site in NZ such as @LEGO_Group or @Apple pay with an NZ credit card and the transaction is processed in Australia where I’m hit with an international transaction fee by @KiwibankNZ
Why?! Seriously, this is not right. Its a rort.
Imagine being penalised $11 at New World on a $62 dollar shop for forgetting your club card.
Without the club card, $73.
Its a rort.
One of the disadvantages of living in Northland is the high frequency of which you are called up for jury service. Its relentless. Multiple times per year.
Criminals don’t give a toss how much they inconvenience and cost the community.
There is so much going on in the world right now and most of America is debating @kellyclarkson and the canary she could not acquire. Wild.
Could people stop sharing and post quoting that video with the poor guy in the tiger enclosure and shame on the first person who uploaded it.
Has Gen X just had an other two years added to their working life? What am a I hearing about retirement age being lifted to 67 by 2035?
New Zealand has incredibly poor food labelling laws, but when manufacturers go to the extent of manipulating the food label itself; how on earth can we trust what is being manufactured and called food.
There is a scam American companies are using to manipulate what ingredient gets listed as the first main ingredient on products
Take Smuckers, strawberries is the first ingredient. So you would think strawberries is the main primary ingredient, but that’s not true
American companies are using a food formulation technique known as ‘ingredient splitting’
For Smuckers, they divide the sweeteners up into 3 different ingredients. That way, each of them weigh less
This allows the word strawberries to be listed on the label as the first ingredient, giving the impression that it's mostly strawberries. In reality, it's mostly sugar.
This is a scam. It’s outright manipulation of our system and lying to customers
Ingredients splitting is a real labeling tactic, and it is legal. It’s allowed by the FDA
I included 10 more popular American foods where this same “ingredients slitting” scam tactic is being used at the end of the video
