Where are they going to? 58% of migrant departures of New Zealand citizens went to Australia. Going to a country with Fair Pay Agreements, a growing economy, low energy prices, and a capital gains taxation system. For some reason that doesn’t seem to so be unpopular.

I love how the Nz police are trying to to pretend the problem is a couple of people. Like those men who were found innocent of assaulting louise nicholas but did jail time for assaulting other women. And the cops who covered it up. It’s a lot of individuals

Just seems a little short while ago that various government politicians, and people acting as their media surrogates, were outraged and scandalized by, and poured scorn on, comments from younger women politicians for suggesting many people don't trust cops.

People might have more sympathy for a govt grappling with the potentially huge costs of climate change if the same govt had not just eviscerated our previously agreed climate change response goals in the name of not upsetting its farming support bloc. Personal responsibility indeed.
Over the next decade NZ will transition to a “personal responsibility” risk model when it comes to buying and protecting property, Simon Watts told a private insurance event.

In fact, I think a truly mature conversation would actually assess some of our many past asset sales and consider whether re-nationalising some of those assets might be in the country's interest.
But that's definitely not the conversation he wants.

Treasury is saying "woe is us" again and suggesting asset sales. So here's a reminder from the OECD that our Govt actually has a net worth ($191bn per Treasury) which makes us an outlier globally.

Hmm, so inflation is 3% and Govt is paying a touch under 2.9% interest on its debt. Govt is also getting a fat return on its financial assets... which outweigh its debts by around $70bn. Meanwhile, we can't afford to invest in the country and Treasury are sounding alarm bells!
