The original purpose of local councils was providing water, sanitation, health, housing and care of the poor
Not care of the poor. That was for private charities. Then later central govt gave an old age pension to aged persons of good character. Ratepayers were not a means of social welfare.
@@socialite1283 Yeah ... we need to care more for those landlords and the rich ... we don't do poor ... lol !!
@@korowheke3182 it’s more codified now but essentially it’s spending rates to improve property values by making a more desirable place to live.
If that means housing the poor why not?
Councils should not be allowed to value property, they are over valuing to be able to increase rates .
@@nzbrotrev9028 Firstly, councils don't do the valuation. Secondly, it is the relative value of one house compared with another that determines how much one ratepayer pays compared with another. And then, of course if someone pleads poverty the council staff consider their case and they might not have to pay.
Nothing about Rates is relative to the actual cost of council services. It's all relative to how much money the council staff want to extract from ratepayers so that they can push their pet vanity projects.
Thank you, our personal pockets are not bottomless - too much waste in councils especially in Auckland
Explain to me why it's costing me $6500.00 to get a permit to make changes to my house that I have had to pay a designer $8k for and under the permit it has 10 visits for the building inspector...we are a 90 square meter older house trying to get a warm dry house..costs are insane
its crazy how people in general confuse ownership with title.
Bureaucracy. Reject leftism.
Because they don't trust random joes to do what they say they will do.
@BrettCooper4702 the point is it shouldn't cost that much , we all agree work should be checked.
The construction company I worked got tired of these building inspectors and told the council to get fukd.
Yes thank you, please put a cap on local councils spending $100K on a pedestrian crossing, when pipes are bursting.
fake news
The media asks stupid questions
first rule of being a tradesman, a politician, or jurnolist.
1. there are no stupid questions
The media are corrupt hacks. Reject the left and have a better Aotearoa for all
@throughput6674 in this case there are
Well said Luxon. Spending went up 84% under the previous government and the country now owes over 100 billion dollars. We need to haul in spending and pay down debt.
Sort them out, we cant afford 30% increases per year!!! NO MORE WASTING OUR MONEY ON RAINBOW FLAGS
Tory Whanau what a con.
Luxon comes across as an utter bully. Even the way he pushes in on his ministers and answers the questions.
TRUE LOCALISM, is locals getting a say, e.g. 21/24 rejecting Maori Wards in referendum, not unrepresentatuve councils forcingvtheir illogical ideology, e.g. 35 or so councils who ignored their locals on Maori Wards
Question: If this still been keep "In House" would we have had this problem? How much interest does the Wellington City Council owe?
All NZ councils DEEP IN DEBT. Auckland $20Billion DEBT....imagine dirty Wellingtons Debt? White collared has escalated 500% breaching 100% of their own crimes act. OVER TRILLION DOLLARS NATIONWIDE....But Rothschilds govt-courts-banks-media-police Pedophiles of epstein island hiding in the BUNKERS here. WHERE IS JUSTICE to bankrupt evict them all!
Lots of moronic questions from media, who are out of touch with struggling ratepayers.
Good on Luxon / Brown for holding councils to account
The only moron is you and the two stooges making up stuff….
What would you ask?
@@BrettCooper4702
That the councils be made to stay in budget and not artificially raise property values to increase rates income .
To focus on infrastructure first.
Very impressed with Luxon this week. Keep it up, Nats
Even when Luxon is being racist?
@@BrettCooper4702 Yes. Even when you think Luxon is being racist.
@@BrettCooper4702RAcist how? In fact, he should BE. It should be Maori and NZ European at the forefront of his mind. End of.
Mr Luxon please stop the constant blame game, it detracts from your message and sounds petty and backwards looking. I want to hear you talk about the good ideas you believe will help us forward towards solutions for problems that are long-standing, decades old, and didn't just magically appear 6 years ago. The bitchiness has to go, its a negative distraction and makes you sound weak on ideas and leadership
Being responsible with money is a radically new idea for a generation that grew up thinking it grows on trees.
Good Government 👍
It’s like a satire. Jesus.
Tweedledum and Tweedledummer.
says the nobody from the back blocks.
@@throughput6674 Says the block that nobody backs 👍!!
We know there's STILL personal and structural racism within the police; what makes Luxey and his intermediate schooler sidekick so sure there''s no such racism in local wards too?
That's why local councils ought have Maori wards by default: that structural and personal racism is an ongoing issue to this day, and to deal with the legacy of well over 100 years of such evil nonsense having already made a mess of lives and communities.
We as a nation of otherwise kind goodhearted folks cannot afford to lose more of our first neighbours to any of that ongoing poor excuse for hate:
re-instate Maori wards in all local councils today!
having special treatment for a specific race is by definition racism.
so you want to cure "potential racism" by implementing racism?
Get back to me when your definition of racism aligns with the dictionary definition of racism.
You don't speak for me. or most nzers. And thank goodness.
you are sick on the head.
whats next you going to think with you feelings?....oh wait.
You can't "reinstate" something that never was agreed by Ratepayers. I'm sure that anyone worth being elected to council will be elected on their merits and not because of their ancestory.
'We' don't know any such thing!! Speak for yourself, not for me.
Waste of money from roading in Taupo, all along the lakefront there are 5 billion cones while road works happen how much are we paying for these cones?
Yeah cones are really a waste of munny
Maybe the govt should put a cap on how many times the media can ask the same question
Wellington may be the capital of New Zealand, but its infrastructure is more akin to that of a developing country.
Council rates keep rising, yet many infrastructure projects are unproductive, dragging on for extended periods and clearly exceeding their budgets. Implementing policies that streamline project execution could reduce costs. Establishing clear KPIs and delivery standards would help prevent overspending and ensure projects are completed on time and within budget.
LoL! Shush. The activists will think NZ _IS_ a developing country if you say it is "akin" to that they and RNZ and TVNZ and Stuff don't know the meaning of that word.
To many grandos councils. would rather spend millions on fixing a decapated building ,instead of fixing water.
@@harrybaker6219 Until you run out of water in the middle of a hot dry summer..
Does he have a clue what he's taking about , he's so weak 🥴
Central govt should regulate local govt to ensure it carries out publicly available proportionate cost/benefit assessment on each spending line item before approving the expenditure. This will focus spending on infrastructure rather than vanity projects.
However central govt should also be paying rates on all its land.
This announcement from the Coalition Govt is very good news in every way.
Never thought Leigh Hart could act seriously
Councils have borrowed money against our rate payments (with the property we own as collateral / as a security) - so now a significant portion of our rates payments are just going towards servicing the debt (interest repayments) instead of actually being spent on things that benefit the ratepayer.... the rates increases being blamed on increased interest costs is proof of this.
Ratepayers should have the option of buying out the debt borrowed against their individual property, with the result being a reduction (or exemption) of their rates payments - ie. allow the ratepayer to be the lender / shareholder. Instead of being the debtor owing the council money, we should be allowed to be the lender, with the council owing us money.
Core responsibilities?? Doesn’t that include libraries, playing fields/sports grounds and libraries? Or are they the wellbeing items that councils should no longer focus on. And NSW accountability - that doesn’t seem to be evident with the replacement of the North Sydney swimming pool. No one being held accountable there.
... 'Rights and responsibilities' is just another b/s slogan from Luxon.
This govt. has flagrantly dumped water issues onto councils because it doesn't want to deal with them itself.
... Most experts think 3 Waters was the right way forward for water infrastructure - it's just that there were some tricky issues around maori land and water rights ... issues that this govt. didn't want to deal with.
... ... Govt. debt did go up - hugely - under Labour.
... Most of that borrowing was spent on Covid - something Mr Luxon keeps conveniently omitting to mention.
... Instead of wasting money on unaffordable tax cuts (- which just so happened to buy the National Party much - needed votes in the election) - they could
have instead bailed out some of the councils who are now in trouble around the country ( - e.g. Auckland Council).
... Patronising councils is not the way forward! ...
Rubbish? Dont you mean waste management or recycling? Gives you a hint of there modus operandi
He said theyve saved 24 billion but has still borrowed more?doesnt make sense
You can thank the Labour Party for the current level of debt and expenditure by Central Govt. Don't expect RNZ and TVNZ to be able to figure that out.
@socialite1283 you can't save 24 billion when you've borrowed more money on top
@@kiwikiwi223 Yes you can. Money you no longer have to spend is money saved.
@@socialite1283 not when you spend it lol
@@socialite1283 but they did spend it and borrowed more on top of that? That's not saving nothing lol
yeah that's how a corporation works so stick it too them. look at the waste in whangarei with the new council building
NRC are the danger. We also have a waste new Council offices in Dargaville - con job to rent out the old building for a peppercorn rent
Quick is not always good as the building inspectors need to do their jobs properly which is often not happening.
wow luxon looks like a puppet
He's Winnies puppet
perhaps you could post a photo and we could judge you based on your look? I'm guessing you wont have a problem with that position?
@@throughput6674 Bravo
At least Simeon doesn’t look like a rat at the back of a cupboard where the food’s been destroyed
The building isn’t making money. FFS it’s not about creating successful business it’s a service.
How much money was spread throughout the community through the construction of this place.
Nats don’t do infrastructure unless it’s a way to get private profits to offshore interests.
Simeon got run over Simeon doesn’t know what’s going on, nor does luxon
Simeon Quirell and Voldemort xl
No other country Model. Nz should not pay x2 GST... & Rates ho ip because you drive Left & Right Uniparty Drive Prices up. Wake up!

Is that loopy lefty logic?
@@throughput6674 Nah that's the truth.
@@chrismoana4742 oh ok. my bad. i always believe randoms from the back block of nowhere commenting on the internet saying they know the truth.
