This is the sort of journalism we need. To hear the little person, the local person, the people that do the hard mahi, that bring mana to our communities. NOT the people paid off by oil, coal, gambling, landlord money that spend more than our annual salary on travel. Not from the PM who earns 500k/yr to then turn around and lie to us, telling us he will make a change for the better and then only benefit the top 0.1%
Thank you John, Thank you 1News, Thank you to the team behind this. The real ones who went out of their way to hear the voices of those normally rejected.
I really hope that we get better public transport, better education, free food in ALL schools, an equitable healthcare system, strong environmental protections, no GST and strong progressive tax systems(taxing the mega-wealthy, the land hoarders, and a commerce commission that isn't afraid to go after the megacorps that price-gouge, that extract the wealth of communities just to pay their CEOs millions. THAT is what will help make Aotearoa the "Clean Green Country people believe we are.
Thanks for the professionalism that you're portraying in this series. This is great investigative journalism, allowing the people who know the reality of living in the current economic situation to express it themselves. We are on the wrong track with this government.
Everyone being interview talks about needing more funding but where does this come from ? This govt needs to focus on improving productivity, more STEM jobs and R&D. Increase the number of high paid jobs and businesses that would generate tax. What are we doing in this area? Our R&D spend is half the OCD average, our productivity keep failing compared to the improvements other countries are generating. This is why Australia can afford to pay 30% more for the same job.
Thanks so much John Campbell for an absolutely brilliant interviews and lettting local northland people share their concerns and stories. Brilliant keep it up thankyou
Really enjoying this new style or "Road Trip" journalism. Places that are usually out of sight and out of mind. Awesome stuff :)
More to come!
Great work on this piece by everyone involved, please keep this going (whomever your overseers maybe). With only one news (TV) service coming up on the horizon, please hold those in high places feet to the fire.
Kia kaha for highlighting the needs of places like this in Aotearoa. ♥
Ask the thousands who've been sacked. Ask the banks, supermarkets, I guarantee it'll be two vastly different answers.
A great road trip, John & Clint. "A economic Covid without the masks" pretty much sums up what the majority of New Zealanders are thinking & experiencing, but despite this, you gotta love the people of the far north! It is in good hands with the great people whom you met. Pls don't be shy with the Finance Minister when you interview her. With losing Fair Go and Sunday, we need all of the revelant questions to be answered, including the tough ones. ❤
Thank you John Campbell, Clint and team. Great piece and loved hearing those stories
Our pleasure!
Have a question for John about the Budget, or his trip to Northland? Pop it in the comments and we'll pass them along to John. Check back next Tuesday night for his answers.
Thank you John, please keep the stories coming. The government is not listening to the people, or hearing anything we say. Thank you for telling these stories.
Firstly THANK you for bringing the far North to the rest of NZ. I work in dog rescue alongside several rescues from the far North who are in crisis battling against dog fighting rings abuse & neglect which all stems from lack of income for people I would love to see you reach out & bring the absolute National disgrace that is animal abuse inhthe far North
ABSURD. Landlords get $3bn in tax cuts, there is no comprehensive capital gains tax, no inheritance tax and no gift tax in NZ, so the rich are massively subsidised by the poor who cant even afford to live in NZ. It makes me sick to the stomach. A society is judged by how it treats its poor. The government will deliver nothing for the poor in NZ in the budget and has already reindexed benefits and made the disability benefit criteria tougher.
Kids taking lunches home for dinner😢, don’t let DS find out funding will be cut in half - again
The people interviewed answered the questions. So good.
Amazing John Campbell for finding out from our communities. This is exactly what it is about. Thinking of my whanau in Kaitaia.
That was a great watch Campbell, telling it how it is...nice job!!
Thank you! This is exactly what we need to see to hear and focus on.
Thank you! Stay tuned for more from John and the 1News team.
The person stopped in street to chatted to is an example of miracle.
Mariah is pretty incredible, aren’t they?
way to go john lets get to the real truth
I think another very important determinant is the fiat system we live under. The New Zealand economy is small and because the US dollar is the global reserve currency it has a major impact on decisions made in the country.
It is scary to think that all we ask is the things needed and most definitely wanted is the bare minimum of what a human needs to live as a human... thank you John and Clint, hopefully maybe got will hear the need a little bit more...
No one mentioned a upgraded railway and passenger service, could even have a special healthcare carriage servicing communities along the line🚂🏥
This Govt has shown their cards and this time we truely see exactly what they been doing for years but at warp speed, to damage NZ for years or a generation if electors keep supporting them. John Campbell is still awesome
Nz class system.
Really rich or really poor.
How I felt with the motorway leaving the airport. Use to have people stop here in Mangere now the motorway takes you straight out of South Akl.
The new government says councils know best at times but at other times it is ignored. They are not consistent about their views about councilors know best.
Tēna kōrua matua John & Clint. My whānau originates from Hokianga, but I have been living in the UK for almost 20 years. Taitokerau is abundant in manaakitanga, yet it seems to go unnoticed by the central government's priorities, as indicated by its overrepresentation in the purple data bands. Hope Mangamuka gorge will reopen in 2024/25.
😂😂❤❤ what a incredible journalist
I was to hungry to learn at school, now I barely eat because I’m too injured to work. No support.
As an Eastside Christchurch resident, I remember the amazing reporting John Campbell & his team did persistently in the post-earthquakes trauma of inquests, EQC, school closures, bureaucracy awfulness. Talking to people who had no other way of being listened to. So grateful the work still continues. Man I feel for these communities because they really matter, but my guess the budget will have nothing meaningful for them.
In Northland what are rents like? What rent increases like?
Which town did you like the most during your far north trip John? Would love to hear your thoughts
I like your news.
S Jones, W Peters, the Northland MP, Whangarei MP are all in the government. Three cabinet ministers. What are they doing ? Industry has moved the small towns .
I liked the article and the valid comments.
I'm not for this govt. But the last with the utopian delusion of a zero road toll, when the roads in the far north have been dangerous for years, did they do anything, no . Just close them off
How about some advance infrastructure in far north, and lessons in school for students who want make difference in they community,
Mike Moore came from that area. A good MP and PM.
My take: This govt is all about profits. Their only concern is to create Industrial and Commercially owned businesses to generate that profit at the expense of the people regardless of ability. Hence children in coal mines mentality. This includes mining for minerals, gems and resources. Selling off NZ brands and importing goods and services to increase trade rather than utilizing our own resources.
I believe Northland is at the forefront of their people being pushed out or forced to sell and the easiest way to do that is offer false dreams and starve public services. The 4-lane highway going in is not for the benefit of the people but in preparation for the entry of offshore mining companies and, the elites future vision of Zealandia.
Māori and Te Tiriti for the protection of land and people is a huge barrier and it is the number one priority to remove all their rights to enable this govts plan to fruition.
Nzers.... we have s south island too
I just want to not be hungry and cold all the time treated as having some humanity not deliberately vilified and starved, seems like New Zealanders think the poor, unwell deserve to suffer
The reason why i voted for National is the tax cut. Everyone is going to be happy when they see extra money in there bank account or on their pay slip. Those who are against it should not accept the extra money from the tax cut.
I need tax relief for my 17 rental properties because its really hard out there owning 20 million bucks in assets someone else is paying for NZ really needs a property focused economy so we can get the wealth we so richly deserve Okay so the poor smucks have to pay for it but if you get rich like me you would have real problems too
