Agreed. These people running the country are so out of touch, they do not have a clue what it is like for everyday New Zealanders ! These people may have all of the credentials, but they are so dumb! Ask the people, ask us for help and get together and listen to what the people have to say, listen to what it’s like for the people and maybe listen to them and value their opinions and think outside your regimented thinking. This country is a mess. As a nurse I am embarrassed at our health care system and this is one of the major problems we need to work on! Change this ridiculous health system structure, invest in more education, more front line services, early diagnostic labs and imaging, nipping disease in the bud before people get really sick, suffer and end up costing the country more money due to more surgical, rehab, treatments needed, bug if we worked on early diagnoses, prevention and park the ambulance at the top of the cliff instead of the bottom .
Polies are led by the majority and if the majority have their head up their butts, the you don’t get a say and thats why intelligent people know it’s useless to go into politics.

@StGammon77 not any more they don't, ask the Crusaders. We are too too too politically correct for such things. And so an entire rugby franchise was rebranded.
Paul Henry is wealthy, and neo-liberal economics suits him. Not so for the ordinary Joe Kiwi who's been doing it tough since Roger Douglas let the free market ideology loose on us.
I arrived in New Zealand from England in Feb 2014 and was amazed at the giddyness of Kiwi's dodging the GFC that devastated US/UK in 2008. The JK Rock N Roll Economy was in boom times 2014/15 and I have slowly seen the decline of this great nation, that has always punched above its weight. Researching a move to NZ, I loved the Number 8 mentality, however the reality is a Woke/Broke New Zealand in 2024 ....sadly :(
If you believe Klaus Schwab, Agenda 2030, Larry Fink, Blackrock, etc, has any bearing on our future (refer to The TYRANT Adern and her association for probability) sadly, unless drastic measures are taken, THIS is all by design, leading to a future of 2 societal classes, and all this political grandiose is nothing but theatre 🎭
There are two people you can blame for the demise of New Zealand, firstly Helen Clark started the process of signing up to all the woke United Nations protocol on immigration from the 3rd world, CRT, and DEI ideologies, and all this rubbish finished off by Jasinda Ardern. This woman finally finished off the death of New Zealand and its great past and when she saw the game was up, she ran off to America to work for the UN and pay for play lecturing BS at Harvard.Plus she even had her Parliament grant her a 50K annuity after she left. Thankfully Luxon cancelled that when he took power.
I never heard of you Paul Henry, but as a broadcaster you know how to get your message across. Bravo. All I can say mate, as an Australian, I completely understand your frustration. We are living through the same crap here in Australia. More strength to you Paul. Come over to Australia, you'll find plenty of support. The UK and US are basket cases and our bureaucrats are following them into the abyss.

I have a home in New Zealand which I intend to return to early next year and it saddens me that my young son will not live in the tolerant and successful New Zealand I left when I was younger. I was always proud to be a Kiwi and people everywhere often told me how much they admired New Zealand. That just doesn't happen anymore. I still love New Zealand and hope to help make it a country to be proud of again.
Well you LEFT like half your kiwi citizens who keep leaving the country and immigrating to Australia mainly ... Australia tax payers shouldn't be supporting 2 counties NZ govt and citizens only have themselves to blame
Same situation here in your next door neighbour Australia. Don't listen no more, don't engage no more, don't vote no more! Don't care no more!....Lost me!
That's exactly what neo-liberalism does. It doesn't care, it leaves everything to the markets, it destroys regulations, the very means to protect the powerless. Markets have no conscience and neither do the wealthy which support the neo-liberal internationally discredited theory.
@@stevesmith1923 It's hard to see the wood for the trees isn't it? Loads of smooth brains in NZ that like to dream of a commie utopia. That's never happened in history though. Current death toll is est at around 110 million so far globally for commism.
Great speech! Prior to 2020 when Ardern referred to "creating jobs" by using taxpayers money to simply make new jobs that was indicative of their mentality and concerning. One other was the vote buying first year uni free, can we at least get that changed to last year uni free when students have proven their commitment to succeed. Two example of tax wastage out of many.
I wish the acclaimed leading journalists of TV1 are watching the speech. I will be polite: I try every night at 6 to give them the opportunity ... and I switch off after the propaganda. How long until they will realize NZ got a new Government?
Sometimes Paul Henry can be a bit of a dick. This was not one of those times. An exceptional speech that, clearly articulates the annoyances, frustations,a nd the issue at that every New Zealander is thinking. Paul delivered this clearly, concisely, with flair, and good humour. You can hear how engaged the audience is.
Agree. I'm a lawyer and my husband is an engineer. We have two kids. We moved to Aussie last year and aren't looking back. We were living in the slums in NZ and are living so well here. The difference is unbelievable.
@@BigBird1584 no aussie has shit loads of natural resources, the country is bloody rich. Can't be compared to nz. I moved from nz and just became an Aussie citizen last month. Quality of life here is on another level.
How? this government is run by the rich. the rich own businesses and those businesses don't want to pay more in wages so the businessmen who are friends with this coalition tell them to bring in cheap labour so business owners don't have to pay a livable wage. hence we have hundreds of thousands of filipinos working for less than kiwis, what the brains didn't figure was that ALL the money goes back to phillipines, it doesn't get spent and cycled in nz which is one of the reasons our businesses are going under.............a conundrum when you realise it's the businessmen who did it to themselves by making cheap labour but also destroying the buyers as well.
@@thesquire6352 💯 Not only Filipino, but Islanders, Indians and many others, all sending money out and not supporting this country in a valid way. They vote for those that keep them here on a pay roll. This amongst other policy and practice is what is contributing to our housing crisis and the fall of those with genuine NZ birth rights. I place blame on greedy capitalist and UN PC immigration/refugee and Indigenous policy that most previous government parties have gone to and used for a quick fix to their on going greed and capitalist approach towards those with real NZ birth certificates and rights.
thanks Paul Henry best speech for 2024 . i encourage all kiwis to take hed of what you have just witnessed yes we are at crossroads of the old and new New Zealand ...lets be great again ...all of us .
Yes, let's work together, we have more commonality than difference. Can we discuss our different visions for NZ's future? Come to an agreement on where we want to be and how we're going to get there? I sincerely hope so. Reassuring to hear this adept public speaker acknowledge the need to reject division and work together to improve life in NZ for all NZers.
Stop using real estate as a measure of wealth (ergo the health of the NZ economy). Foreign buyers of real estate are not investors in the real NZ economy but rather investors in a pseudo NZ economy that cannot carry NZ into the future.
Excuse me! Don't tarnish all landlords with the same brush. When we first started rental investment, it is for the long term goal of being able to have a little extra for our retirement. We were not high wage earners. It was hard going and we knew we had to tighten our belts but we were willing to take the financial risk and a lot of hard work so we can achieve our retirement goal. From day one, all our tenants are well looked after. We get to know them and at times we even lower their rent when they are in financial strife like losing a job etc. Their rent payment are way below market rate in the first place. Cost of living affects everyone including landlords because insurances, rates, mortgage rates increase and other maintenance expenses have gone thru the roof. There is a line where we have to safe guard our retirement goal or we lose it all after decades of trying to achieve our goal. The landlord lose if they are put in a position to sell and the tenant losses because there is less rental property on the market. Can you imagine we put up the rent and felt so bad about it even though the market rate is showing the rent to be at just under mid range. Imagine if a whole lot of landlords decide to sell how do you think NZ is able to house the population? Our govt certainly will not be able to - we are too small a population as we won't have enough tax take to pay for other necessities of a functioning country. Owning properties have as much risks as well as financially good but it is not a given that the financial good is for sure. I know there are a whole lot of landlords like us.
I support NZ First, but this is a great talk from Paul Henry. I'm impressed with the coalition Government so far, they have worked hard to set worthwhile objectives but we have a lot to do. "I couldn't give Labour one more day at the helm"!!! We all know exactly what you mean by that bro!!!
You must be rich because life for everyday new zealanders gets harder under this coalition. tax breaks to landlords to trickle down to renters? yeah right, rents are still rising not to mention its harder for kiwis to buy their first home. The addiction of unskilled immigrant workers who send all their money back home was another great idea, instead of raising the minimum to a livable wage the government catered to businesses and let in cheap labour, what they didnt figure was all that labour was going to send their money back to the phillipines and now OUR economy is failing, businesses going under left and right and all of this and more while literally taking food out of children's mouths in schools cutting public jobs, inflaming racial tension AND giving themselves a pay rise. anything that goes wrong just blame the previous government blah blah blah maybe when this coalition has finished padding their friends pockets they might fix one or two things for the country. elections can't come soon enough these greedy bastards need to go
@@thesquire6352 1. The tax cuts benefit poor parents WAY more than childless rich people, you are plain wrong on that. Parent with 3 kids at 60k only pays like 10% in tax now. 2. Cutting public jobs is the opposite of padding their friends pockets. 3. Labour giving shitloads of money to Maori organisations was in fact, padding their friends pockets. Taking that away is not enflaming racial tensions. 4. He voted NZ First why the fuck are you complaining to him about immigration? He voted for the ONLY anti-immigrant party.
Have always liked Paul Henry he isnt afraid to call a spade a spade and tough who he puts the boot into. Hes a great entertainer and extremely intelligent. He needs to be encoured to stand next election.
Lukewarm applause for curtailing mass low skill immigration. Clearly there are some business owners in the audience who still want to attract slave wage workers and let NZ society shoulder the consequences.
@@snigie1 I was thinking coffee shops, agriculture workers, and 'students' getting 'qualifications' from 'schools' who are really just selling a path to residency rort, so they can bring the equally unskilled and unproductive relatives here too. But hey, it's good for 'business' so...
Demographics is destiny. Birth rates have been decay rates for decades. Classic financial destruction of societies with migrant suffocation. BTW if you want the country to be wealthy - block all imports. Make raising a family cheaper, easier and better than overseas. An ideal Celtic climate for growth. Less banker, more gardener.
If the economy is going great employers in general will have to make work & wage conditions attractive. If you don’t like it you can work for someone else. Market Forces mate. Good on ACT & good on Paul Henry.
I've been in Aussie for 6 months now. Best choice I have ever made, so disappointed I didn't move earlier. NZ is buggered no matter what party is in power.
Yip. Couldn’t agree more. My husband and I, and our 6 month old daughter at the time up-hauled up our whole life in NZ at the end of last year to come to Au for a better life as a family, and for the opportunities for our daughter. NZ is too woke, broke and had nothing to offer us anymore. Life is magnitudes better in Australia in comparison, NZ has a verrrry long way to go before we would even consider the thought of coming back. I am sad that NZ is in the condition it’s currently in, and with every month that passes, the less I feel like it’s the country I grew up in.
@@TOMORROWSFRIDAY Not to mention the "misinformation" laws trying to be passed. I don't care what state im in NZ I would never live in a country where free speech is gone
@@andrewm8610 I doubt that's the reason. Skilled workers won't come to NZ because our salaries are too low. Other developed countries are luring skilled workers by offering far more generous pay packets than us.
I left NZ because the pay and conditions were so much more favourable on the other side of the globe. Not a lot has changed in the 24 years since then.

TOP supporter here. This was refreshing to hear. I don't want my three young girls + foster child to continue into this dis-interested education system. I miss hearing kids being motivated, asking questions (there are no dumb questions) and being inspired. The algorithms, the grams, the socials, the co-pilots - they are here to stay. How can we empower our next generation to use the tools to do good? I shall continue my rage. I'm done being quiet.
As a teacher of 40yrs at every level I'm also appalled at the schools. Paul, you are correct about inspiring children to think but getting teachers to create this within the present system is impossible, despite what you say. The single largest impediment to this is the anachronistic proscriptive meaningless curricula that alienates, disengages and kills motivation in children. The key factor that will remedy this is to give well educated, passionate teachers complete autonomy to devise their own holistic curricula and teach it in small teams to small groups over a continuous number of years, based on the unique needs of the multivaried range of children they teach. Holistic education means a revamp of the traditional notion of 'subjects' into an 'ideas / project" study to reduce the massive inefficiency, duplication and meaningless content in the traditional manner. "Subject" areas only become meaningful within a holistic understanding. It should be modelled on Nature where there are no subjects! We need to maintain the efficiency of Elementary School curricula in a continuous process into High school. As a consequence schools will completely change into efficient , engaging, joyful places of learning.
We had it right once, keep Christianity in schools that's the traditional way for all people as a heritage here that worked! Some people changed it after 160 years, why was the Gospel removed and replaced with Maori spirituality which is so opposing to what was. That's why there's a problem, someone sacked the Missionaries now the Church is banned from schools its wrong
@@michaelwoods2903 what’s well educated for a teacher? Sounds like chaos is what you’re advocating. Imagine trying to manage that and measure it to see if it works? Bloody nightmare. Perhaps it’s not even the system, perhaps it’s the teaching of teachers? Perhaps it’s just society? What are we educating for anyway? To create workers, entrepreneurs, leaders, managers, to be intelligent and think, does anyone know? Do you?
I served nz for 13 years in the military and police before heading off to wa in 08 to do fifo. 3yrs later ended up wa popo again, high end stuff, child sex offenders yadayada. Come home xmas 2019 and thought it's time. The people were happy, the economy was upbeat and still not horrendous, then covid hit and we only just made it back to wa. Next thing mandates lockdowns.. so I resigned, exercising my "choice" and sold up to come home just as jacinda slams the if you ain't vaxxed too bad door. My own whenua, decorated nz serviceman, sorry unless you're vaxxed you can't come in. I tread water in wa until she opened the border in march 22, and what I found was horrific. I went to my small east coast town and the media propaganda was appalling. The passive aggressive thing was so real. My 20yo daughter lasted 2 months before going back to aus, I went back 8 months later after cleaning up mums farm. I vowed never to go back to nz if labour was governing. I could not believe the state of the country and the people running it, from sending peoples personal acc info by text to our covid data being "commercially sensitive", not even free fu**en rugby on tv. I'm planning to come home and live off grid cause jacinda is gone and woke isn't as profitable as they thought and are falling on their arses. KRTW

The subtext is that you can't do pretty much anything without a council permit nowadays. 90% of the landmass is unoccupied and no-one can build anything without 3 years of paperwork.
@@dontcallthemliberals3316 I'm not clear what road cones has to do with this? People can't build on unoccupied sites because of the road cones? Also, do you mean 90% of the entire landmass of the country, including places like, I dunno, Fiordland?
I’ll tell you how it all started. With Mt Egmont. I remember when I was young. It was always Mt Egmont. Then somebody said to me, “It’s Mt Taranaki now” I replied, “No it’s not! It’s Mt Egmont!” Now nobody calls it Mt Egmont anymore. I will never stop calling it Mt Egmont. Why is it important. It’s Mt Taranaki now, then Wanganui became Whanganui and so on, it won’t stop. When did kiwi’s lose their backbone and just accept whatever anybody tells them
I remember that too .....that chants "we want our mountain back" one comment was ...."You already have Mt. Eden and Mount Crawford"!!! what more do they want???
The current economic climate is the baby of more than Labour alone. It's what happens when you compete for housing with rich foreigners and compete for jobs with poor foreigners. Which in itself is caused by Government policy.
I hope “safe hands Luxon” is listening, and is keen to be a change maker. Most notably to have the courage to bring the nation together to face the global economic challenges, but that can only be achieved as ONE PEOPLE. It’s time to end decades of wasteful and shameful ToW apartheid politics.
Yes a failure of nerve can be a block to victory and effectively fall short. Remember Lange and Douglas. The best leaders just shoot on through to grasp the full benefit. We have high hopes of the coalition to drive changes.
thanks Paul, very well put , do not leave a sinking ship .there are some holes to be plugged and you are still doing your part , most of us love this country..
The housing market has destroyed New Zealand people are being bleed dry paying their landlords mortgage and they will never own their own home hitting retirement trying to pay rent on a pension.
Since the pandemic I've noticed everyone drives slower like people don't have a sense of urgency anymore unless they on the passing lane then they all speed up then drop off again back to 90km/h. So sick of single lane roads mainly the State Highways.
I left New Zealand, built a successful professional services business in 3 countries in SE Asia and employ over 100 people. I absolutely agree with Paul ❤ thank you for not giving up on NZ at least just yet ! You didn’t mention the moral jeopardy we face as vassals of the UK EU and USA.

New Zealand lost the incentives to keep the pioneers here. We all left to countries that would pay us what we are worth, allow us to afford a better quality of life and be more connected with the real world. As long as NZ is insular, isolated and fails to compete with the rest of the world it will fail.

I miss Paul Henry! The last real person on TV
I will watch any program that Paul Henry is in, except for the 'whodunnit' one.
Paul Henry is wealthy, and neo-liberal economics suits him. Not so for the ordinary Joe Kiwi who's been doing it tough since Roger Douglas let the free market ideology loose on us.
Was kind of alright till he made the inappropriate comment around extremities. Ick.
That was a intelligent and funny speech with loads of truths ..well done
I arrived in New Zealand from England in Feb 2014 and was amazed at the giddyness of Kiwi's dodging the GFC that devastated US/UK in 2008. The JK Rock N Roll Economy was in boom times 2014/15 and I have slowly seen the decline of this great nation, that has always punched above its weight. Researching a move to NZ, I loved the Number 8 mentality, however the reality is a Woke/Broke New Zealand in 2024 ....sadly :(
And i bloody well bet ,you voted for the last female dog prime Minister.
If you believe Klaus Schwab, Agenda 2030, Larry Fink, Blackrock, etc, has any bearing on our future (refer to The TYRANT Adern and her association for probability) sadly, unless drastic measures are taken, THIS is all by design, leading to a future of 2 societal classes, and all this political grandiose is nothing but theatre 🎭
I’ve never seen a government in NZL wreck and divide us so much.
There are two people you can blame for the demise of New Zealand, firstly Helen Clark started the process of signing up to all the woke United Nations protocol on immigration from the 3rd world, CRT, and DEI ideologies, and all this rubbish finished off by Jasinda Ardern. This woman finally finished off the death of New Zealand and its great past and when she saw the game was up, she ran off to America to work for the UN and pay for play lecturing BS at Harvard.Plus she even had her Parliament grant her a 50K annuity after she left. Thankfully Luxon cancelled that when he took power.
True, and JK got us there.
Well done Paul Henry - brilliant speech. I do hope that Luxton and Peters listen, take note - and be bolder.
Who is Luxton?
I never heard of you Paul Henry, but as a broadcaster you know how to get your message across. Bravo. All I can say mate, as an Australian, I completely understand your frustration. We are living through the same crap here in Australia. More strength to you Paul. Come over to Australia, you'll find plenty of support.

Great speech! Prior to 2020 when Ardern referred to "creating jobs" by using taxpayers money to simply make new jobs that was indicative of their mentality and concerning. One other was the vote buying first year uni free, can we at least get that changed to last year uni free when students have proven their commitment to succeed. Two example of tax wastage out of many.
They all waste our tax money - one of them was giving me $40 a fortnight, which i much rather should have went to procuring new Cancer drugs.

Sometimes Paul Henry can be a bit of a dick. This was not one of those times. An exceptional speech that, clearly articulates the annoyances, frustations,a nd the issue at that every New Zealander is thinking. Paul delivered this clearly, concisely, with flair, and good humour. You can hear how engaged the audience is.
Agree. I'm a lawyer and my husband is an engineer. We have two kids. We moved to Aussie last year and aren't looking back. We were living in the slums in NZ and are living so well here. The difference is unbelievable.

Paul ive always appreciated your wealth of knowledge views and opinions. Great ambassador for New Zealand.
He's a nasty arrogant creep who insults people
😂
We need to get away from a low-wage, low productivity economy - cheap migrant labour included.
How? this government is run by the rich. the rich own businesses and those businesses don't want to pay more in wages so the businessmen who are friends with this coalition tell them to bring in cheap labour so business owners don't have to pay a livable wage. hence we have hundreds of thousands of filipinos working for less than kiwis, what the brains didn't figure was that ALL the money goes back to phillipines, it doesn't get spent and cycled in nz which is one of the reasons our businesses are going under.............a conundrum when you realise it's the businessmen who did it to themselves by making cheap labour but also destroying the buyers as well.
@@thesquire6352 💯 Not only Filipino, but Islanders, Indians and many others, all sending money out and not supporting this country in a valid way. They vote for those that keep them here on a pay roll. This amongst other policy and practice is what is contributing to our housing crisis and the fall of those with genuine NZ birth rights.
I place blame on greedy capitalist and UN PC immigration/refugee and Indigenous policy that most previous government parties have gone to and used for a quick fix to their on going greed and capitalist approach towards those with real NZ birth certificates and rights.
Never much liked Paul Henry as a TV presenter/host. But this rant of his is resonating VERY deeply with me. I very much needed to watch this.
What a wonderful wake-up call!

Yes, let's work together, we have more commonality than difference. Can we discuss our different visions for NZ's future? Come to an agreement on where we want to be and how we're going to get there? I sincerely hope so.
Reassuring to hear this adept public speaker acknowledge the need to reject division and work together to improve life in NZ for all NZers.
Powerful speech. I enjoyed every word he said. Moment of truth and reality the country is facing
Stop using real estate as a measure of wealth (ergo the health of the NZ economy). Foreign buyers of real estate are not investors in the real NZ economy but rather investors in a pseudo NZ economy that cannot carry NZ into the future.
Absolutely! No one advertises buying rentals to help out with housing. They all dream of easy money.
But it has been said that NZ IS a real estate economy with tack-ons.
Excuse me! Don't tarnish all landlords with the same brush.
When we first started rental investment, it is for the long term goal of being able to have a little extra for our retirement. We were not high wage earners. It was hard going and we knew we had to tighten our belts but we were willing to take the financial risk and a lot of hard work so we can achieve our retirement goal.
From day one, all our tenants are well looked after. We get to know them and at times we even lower their rent when they are in financial strife like losing a job etc. Their rent payment are way below market rate in the first place. Cost of living affects everyone including landlords because insurances, rates, mortgage rates increase and other maintenance expenses have gone thru the roof. There is a line where we have to safe guard our retirement goal or we lose it all after decades of trying to achieve our goal.
The landlord lose if they are put in a position to sell and the tenant losses because there is less rental property on the market.
Can you imagine we put up the rent and felt so bad about it even though the market rate is showing the rent to be at just under mid range.
Imagine if a whole lot of landlords decide to sell how do you think NZ is able to house the population? Our govt certainly will not be able to - we are too small a population as we won't have enough tax take to pay for other necessities of a functioning country.
Owning properties have as much risks as well as financially good but it is not a given that the financial good is for sure.
I know there are a whole lot of landlords like us.
My name is Paul, 'I never met a camera I never fell in love with', Henry. Thank you!
We need more and more and more of this. Like Paul said never be afraid to continue to be fearless, that's not just aimed at ACT.
I support NZ First, but this is a great talk from Paul Henry. I'm impressed with the coalition Government so far, they have worked hard to set worthwhile objectives but we have a lot to do. "I couldn't give Labour one more day at the helm"!!! We all know exactly what you mean by that bro!!!
You must be rich because life for everyday new zealanders gets harder under this coalition. tax breaks to landlords to trickle down to renters? yeah right, rents are still rising not to mention its harder for kiwis to buy their first home. The addiction of unskilled immigrant workers who send all their money back home was another great idea, instead of raising the minimum to a livable wage the government catered to businesses and let in cheap labour, what they didnt figure was all that labour was going to send their money back to the phillipines and now OUR economy is failing, businesses going under left and right and all of this and more while literally taking food out of children's mouths in schools cutting public jobs, inflaming racial tension AND giving themselves a pay rise. anything that goes wrong just blame the previous government blah blah blah maybe when this coalition has finished padding their friends pockets they might fix one or two things for the country. elections can't come soon enough these greedy bastards need to go
@@thesquire6352 1. The tax cuts benefit poor parents WAY more than childless rich people, you are plain wrong on that. Parent with 3 kids at 60k only pays like 10% in tax now.
2. Cutting public jobs is the opposite of padding their friends pockets.
3. Labour giving shitloads of money to Maori organisations was in fact, padding their friends pockets. Taking that away is not enflaming racial tensions.
4. He voted NZ First why the fuck are you complaining to him about immigration? He voted for the ONLY anti-immigrant party.
@@dontcallthemliberals3316tax cuts so beneficial everybody is leaving for a better life abroad. taking less of not much is still fuck all.

Lukewarm applause for curtailing mass low skill immigration. Clearly there are some business owners in the audience who still want to attract slave wage workers and let NZ society shoulder the consequences.
Um, that's literally every business....
@@snigie1 I was thinking coffee shops, agriculture workers, and 'students' getting 'qualifications' from 'schools' who are really just selling a path to residency rort, so they can bring the equally unskilled and unproductive relatives here too. But hey, it's good for 'business' so...
Demographics is destiny. Birth rates have been decay rates for decades. Classic financial destruction of societies with migrant suffocation. BTW if you want the country to be wealthy - block all imports. Make raising a family cheaper, easier and better than overseas. An ideal Celtic climate for growth. Less banker, more gardener.
If the economy is going great employers in general will have to make work & wage conditions attractive. If you don’t like it you can work for someone else. Market Forces mate. Good on ACT & good on Paul Henry.

I've been in Aussie for 6 months now. Best choice I have ever made, so disappointed I didn't move earlier. NZ is buggered no matter what party is in power.
Yip. Couldn’t agree more. My husband and I, and our 6 month old daughter at the time up-hauled up our whole life in NZ at the end of last year to come to Au for a better life as a family, and for the opportunities for our daughter.
NZ is too woke, broke and had nothing to offer us anymore.
Life is magnitudes better in Australia in comparison, NZ has a verrrry long way to go before we would even consider the thought of coming back. I am sad that NZ is in the condition it’s currently in, and with every month that passes, the less I feel like it’s the country I grew up in.
Wait a while bud, I’ve been here for twelve years ( Albo will change your mind) - the grass is not always greener…

Professionals eg doctors don't come here because they have to put up with a whole lot race and treaty BS.
@@andrewm8610 I doubt that's the reason. Skilled workers won't come to NZ because our salaries are too low. Other developed countries are luring skilled workers by offering far more generous pay packets than us.
We could try to actually train enough to do the job instead of relying on making up the shortfall from overseas.

13 days on why have I only just seen this on my feed?
That was simply brilliant Paul. We need to hear this kind of voice far more often.
Top speech from Paul Henry with much inspiration in a future New Zealand.
Well said, Paul, everything you said is spot on.
TOP supporter here. This was refreshing to hear. I don't want my three young girls + foster child to continue into this dis-interested education system. I miss hearing kids being motivated, asking questions (there are no dumb questions) and being inspired. The algorithms, the grams, the socials, the co-pilots - they are here to stay. How can we empower our next generation to use the tools to do good? I shall continue my rage. I'm done being quiet.
As a teacher of 40yrs at every level I'm also appalled at the schools. Paul, you are correct about inspiring children to think but getting teachers to create this within the present system is impossible, despite what you say. The single largest impediment to this is the anachronistic proscriptive meaningless curricula that alienates, disengages and kills motivation in children. The key factor that will remedy this is to give well educated, passionate teachers complete autonomy to devise their own holistic curricula and teach it in small teams to small groups over a continuous number of years, based on the unique needs of the multivaried range of children they teach. Holistic education means a revamp of the traditional notion of 'subjects' into an 'ideas / project" study to reduce the massive inefficiency, duplication and meaningless content in the traditional manner. "Subject" areas only become meaningful within a holistic understanding. It should be modelled on Nature where there are no subjects! We need to maintain the efficiency of Elementary School curricula in a continuous process into High school. As a consequence schools will completely change into efficient , engaging, joyful places of learning.
We had it right once, keep Christianity in schools that's the traditional way for all people as a heritage here that worked! Some people changed it after 160 years, why was the Gospel removed and replaced with Maori spirituality which is so opposing to what was. That's why there's a problem, someone sacked the Missionaries now the Church is banned from schools its wrong
@@michaelwoods2903 what’s well educated for a teacher?
Sounds like chaos is what you’re advocating. Imagine trying to manage that and measure it to see if it works? Bloody nightmare.
Perhaps it’s not even the system, perhaps it’s the teaching of teachers? Perhaps it’s just society? What are we educating for anyway? To create workers, entrepreneurs, leaders, managers, to be intelligent and think, does anyone know? Do you?
My sons doing great in this education system.
Awesome Paul, just bloody awesome!
A wondrous day for me, I find myself agreeing with Paul Henry! Great speech.

My own whenua, decorated nz serviceman, sorry unless you're vaxxed you can't come in. I tread water in wa until she opened the border in march 22, and what I found was horrific. I went to my small east coast town and the media propaganda was appalling. The passive aggressive thing was so real.

It's too late though - we just don't have what it takes to pull up. Productivity will wallow lower.
The truth is out there. And Paul Henry speaks it.
I’ll tell you how it all started. With Mt Egmont. I remember when I was young. It was always Mt Egmont. Then somebody said to me, “It’s Mt Taranaki now” I replied, “No it’s not! It’s Mt Egmont!” Now nobody calls it Mt Egmont anymore. I will never stop calling it Mt Egmont. Why is it important. It’s Mt Taranaki now, then Wanganui became Whanganui and so on, it won’t stop. When did kiwi’s lose their backbone and just accept whatever anybody tells them
I remember that too .....that chants "we want our mountain back" one comment was ...."You already have Mt. Eden and Mount Crawford"!!! what more do they want???
I still call it Mt. Egmont and always will.
@@les8518 start a petition “Bring back Mt Egmont!”

The current economic climate is the baby of more than Labour alone. It's what happens when you compete for housing with rich foreigners and compete for jobs with poor foreigners. Which in itself is caused by Government policy.
Yeah so fucking true
Congratulations Paul- You just gave a STATE OF THE WORLD ADDRESS....
I hope “safe hands Luxon” is listening, and is keen to be a change maker. Most notably to have the courage to bring the nation together to face the global economic challenges, but that can only be achieved as ONE PEOPLE. It’s time to end decades of wasteful and shameful ToW apartheid politics.
Yes a failure of nerve can be a block to victory and effectively fall short. Remember Lange and Douglas. The best leaders just shoot on through to grasp the full benefit. We have high hopes of the coalition to drive changes.
ToW? The treaty? The founding agreement of this country? No racial group in NZ is deprived of political or civil rights.. Drama queen much

The housing market has destroyed New Zealand people are being bleed dry paying their landlords mortgage and they will never own their own home hitting retirement trying to pay rent on a pension.
