My pension was canceled by the Adern beaurocrates 3 years ago because i went to spain to support my Spanish wife caring for her parents.
I've had to sell my property in New Zealand to support myself and the kick in the guts was millions ofhard-earned taxpayers dollars was given to Hillary Clinton and the Taliban.
Where is the justice and humanity in this?
I can't stand the idea of any elderly struggling, lonely, cold and hungry. New Zealand has become a bitter and mean country.
GAY CROSSINGS, TO MANY COUNCILS THINK THEY CAN DO AS THEY LIKE AND THEN BILL US WITH RATES INCREASES, I WANT THE AMERICAN SYSTEM OF RECALL TO MINIMISE THE TIME TO MANY OF THESE CLOWNS CAN DO DAMAGE.
Absolutely disgusting behavior from councils generally
We need more rainbow crossings...how else are they going to cross the road...
@@user-zl8pt5jv9c The same way they did before them.
The real issue with the retired vs working age people is that they are living on savings not wages. Savings are more likely to be affected by inflation compared to wages. Inflation eats away at the value of savings. There is at least an opportunity for wages to increase.
They say children should be seen and not heard, but the elderly now are not heard or seen; herded away out of view and with them wisdom for the young.
Why are there any rates increase? Property prices increase more than CPI and growth is covered by the extra homes.
Council wages... A alarming review a couple of yrs ago showed the biggest drain now on council monies is because of their wages . Wages have become so enormously high ( please do a program on this Michael) they take up the most of their income... I can't remember the percentage but it was horrified when it was revealed... Our councils now feel they are entitled to private business model wages.
Remember Michael when Auckland Water " CEO " was up for scrutiny when Auckand had that huge water shortage and had no proper plan for Auck drinking water etcs dams were going dry... AND PEOPLE WERE VERY ANGRY WITH THIS COUNCIL AREA ...AND IT WAS REVEALED THAT HE WAS ON ABOUT 700,000 A YEARS WAGES AND HAD HEAPS OF EXTRAS ALSO....AND THAT HE EARNED FAR FAR MORE THAN JACINDA OUR PM AT THE TIME .
Once ...wages were NOT THE MAIN COUNCIL OUT GOING FAR FROM IT...
Could you catch up on their outgoings now for us ...AS THEY ARE NOT A PRIVATE COMPANY AND MANY OF THEIR MANAGEMENT SHOULD NEVER BE EARNING MORE THAN OUR PM AND COUNTRIES LEADERS... NZDERS ARE BEING FLEECED BY THESE PARASITES....AS THE COUNCIL WAS A MODEST PART OF OUR SYSTEM THAT PROVIDED SERVICES TO THE PEOPLE....BUT ITS DONE A TOTAL ABOUT FACE AND HAS BECOME A LEECH ON COMMUNITIES FOR MANY WHOM WOULDNT SURVIVE IN PRIVATE BUSINESS MODELS BUT WANT THE SAME REWARDS AND STATIS OFF THE BACKS OF THE FAR MORE HARDWORKING TAXPAYERS OF NZ.. IN MY OPINION..
I WAS SHOCKED WHEN LEARNT THE HEAD OF WATER CARE IN AUCKLAND EARNED A FAR FAR BIGGER WAGE THAN OUR PM JACINDA AT THE TIME ...
THAT WAS DAY LIGHT TAX PAYERS ROBBERY ..HE RESIGNED IN THE END IF I REMEMBER AS HE HADNT DONE A DAM THING FOR AUCKLAND RATE PAYERS WATER NEEDS ...DIDNT HAVE ANY FORWARD PLANS AT ALL AT THE TIME !!!
There is discrimination in lending to the elderly most definitely.
Retired andon sickness benefit ...have been told last week by rates section of local council that I will need to find an extra 600 per year to cover rates increases and I can see water meters on the horizen..
Try living under the Auckland council and their rates for water and land😢
Food banks are inequitable. They are not accessible in all locations.
Even the lazy ones get most of these payment also, without doing a days work.
Get up to speed Laws, you have no idea how most elderly are struggling on the pension 😡
Younger ones have the choice of doing what I did many years ago and get an extra job,older people no longer have that choice
I had three jobs at one time when I was first married. I now have the NZ Superannuation, but have a part time to make it possible to enjoy life, not just exist. If I was on super alone, it would not be possible to even have a holiday. I am lucky I am healthy enough be able to work, so a good point above!
@@Phil-oj5nr At 73 I am very limited by eyesight issues,although can mow my own lawn on a good day,when younger with 4 kids I had a full time job,often 7 days a week depending on time of year and after dinner would go out sweeping and mopping 4 shopping malls per night.We did that to cope with 18% interest rates on the mortgage,and to put towards overseas travel to Australia so as to visit relatives
I get the impression the interviewer has no sympathy for Thor on the pension and is wealthy enough that he has no worries about money?
If you think the impact on the elderly is tough, consider those that cannot work for health reasons or are unemployed and receive less than what Super is.
What health problems would the young have that the elderly wouldn't have?
If you are unemployed get a job not hard
@@MichaelDoyle-mc2ed capitalism requires a percentage of the population to be unemployed
@@arohanui922 point was that those on the sickness benefit don’t get as much as those on Super
@@ooo-vc4xl the elderly probably worked 60 years off for that super whereas a 20-40 year olds on a sickness benefit for smoking too much weed now got mental health issues who actively work at not working. Don’t even try and tell me you are talking about genuine sickness beneficiaries most are frauds. My grandparents and parents generation were the absolute work horses of any generation.
The host couldn't seem less interested in what the person he is interviewing has to say.
Retirement villages owners keep any capital gains
Win win opportunity for other people who have cash looking for investment. Peer-to-peer lending.
Ha ha want reverse equity mortgages determined get money assets one way or another if not stealing in resthome
And on the catwalk today we can see Michael's sporting a coral hobo's top combined with a tatty white night shirt, topped off with a wispy Grey Power mullet. Expect to see this bold fashion statement sweeping the homeless shelters this Spring folks. 🕺
And in the comments today we have MrDeadbeatdropkick and his obsession with Michael's choice of clothing and how he combs his hair. Expect to see the same inane comment tomorrow, same place same time.
@@secondchance6603 - can he at least make an effort? Bit of hair gel. A bit of man-scaping? It will add gravitas to the issue he's discussing.
You got free everything
We got user pays
We had to pay for everything we did.
Asset test the pension you bunch of free loaders.
