Pleased with how we are tracking with the Coalition, they recognize the value of living within a budget, taking care of immediate issues as well.
It will be nice when the judicial system realize and recognize that all citizens and permanent residents are equal under the law. No protected individuals or groups. I guess that's too much to hope for from judges who value ideology and activism over society sustaining values.
Hope this Government is not going to bring in Refugees form Gaza 😕
They only have to fly in, then claim asylum and they won't be flown back.
Not on Winnie's watch.
Would like to see the name changes properly sorted aka transit nz
Not allowed to call it that anymore. Hurts the men in dresses feelings 😂
Mr Seymour for our next PM. a true leader who does whats right not whats popular.
It depends on who he’s talking to. So far, I don’t think he’s done anything brilliant. He’s talking tough and taking things away but in the end who will benefit from this? In the meantime teachers and police who train through our system will leave the country. Wait until he calls you a xenophobe for not accepting all the immigrants that he will surely push give it time.
@@arohanui922 "taking things away but in the end who will benefit from this?" The taxpayer benefits from unnecessary government bloat.
I feel that he is doing both. He is listening to the people.
😂 he doesn't even have 10% support and you expect him to be pm.
@@mobbarley7517 Dude he said "does whats right not whats popular".
When will the Coalition tell judges to pass tougher sentences?
Labour told them to reduce sentences
So the Coalition can make them pass tougher sentence
They cannot "tell judges to pass tougher sentences" and if Labour did, they breached judicial independence. What they can do is write law that doesn't give judges any wriggle room to let crims off lightly.
Meanwhile we need more prisons urgently, so these things take time to correct.
What fs me off is how the judges have to take so many things into consideration for the poor crim which is an utter insult to the poor innocent victim
Also certain groups got cultural reviews to reduce sentences plus used hardships to also reduce them more
@@andrewoh1663Labour did instruct judges to up the level of proof reqd to convict. The victims paid the price!! The police were hamstrung. The Stats looked better though.
@andrewoh1663 I've been watching some feeds from UK - the sentences of various criminals, extremely interesting. The judge starts of "under law the starting point is XX years" and they do not verify too much. One lad was involved with a murder (he didn't do it, but was there), minimum time to serve, taking into account is youthful mistake, 12 years.
We need the laws to clearly state the minimum sentences. Our system is far too soft.
Great Interview thank you. So respectful, both of you.
Was it a coincidence that the school David was at had a copy of the book about Jacinda Adern
Conviently front and centre on the shelf
And the news camera guy couldn't resist keeping that book in shot
Question
How on earth does a book -- albeit a partisan political publication make into an school when classical literary works are being removed????
Every home should have Jacinda’s book as well as Helen’s , our two greatest pms 😊
@@rickseyb2993they make great fire lighters, and emergency loo paper. That's for sure.
@@schlookieyour joking right? I just tried those pages as loo paper, I had an even bigger mess at the end than what was there at the start!!
go you good thing David, really impressive start, and if you start as you mean to continue, so much potential for good things for all Nzers and we need hope and positivity more than ever, thank you.
When Seymour’s gone, all these ones protesting will realise how upright and fair he was.
David you suggested there would be 15,000 public service jobs gone
So far only 1,000
I just hope that more will follow over the next 6 months
There will be. Most will be in consultation process. It is a long drawn out process
Pretty cruel, these are real people with families to feed and mortgages to pay that are losing there jobs
Great and most things stay the same
( its called holding the line,...same gov new faces.)....tag team :)
Awesome start Leah
Top work. I feel like the right team has been voted into parliament!
Food inflation is a lot more than 4% nearer 15
Fresh veges have gone down
gov question for you,...when will the gov criminal traitors be arrested?......
Assume you mean Jacinda. She should be tried for treason. She should never again be free to walk among us.
Mps still addressing me as Nga Mihi
What about cost of rates, insurance etc , how about a cap on how much rates can go up by each year and share the gst with the councils
Government won't get involved in the rates price as it goes to government first then given out to councils,rates are just another tax
Rates will go through the roof now 3 waters is scrapped
Price houses need to drop 40%
Would be nice but won’t happen thousands of people will go broke and need emergency housing
they wont , UNLESS the currency goes hyper inflated
Take a 40% reduction on your own assets, don't cry if you havent tried and don't pull those who did try down to your level.
@@basilwatson1 They would if government put in policies that got enough homes built. David Seymor said we needed 50,000 a year for 5 years. With the immigration levels that means we actually need 100,000 a year minimum, ideally 150,000 a year every year for a few decades. Everyone is housed in Russia and housing doesn't cost much. Funny how a dictatorship can do that but a stupid market forces mob rule democracy can't.
And those new homes must never be sold to people who buy them to let, or foreigners, or leave them empty or just use them for holidays or Air B N B short term rental which just destroys local community.
We did live with 18% not in day but my dad and mother went through that
Speed limits still being reduced😬
Local government, local issues. The new government believes local government should manage local issues. Speed on the road is local issue.
@@adsdft585 the new govt said as an election promise to stop the needless controls!!!
@@brianrassie3526 so their policy platform had constriction. They also stress democacy. Local government is an arm of democracy. As a point note. The speed policy around school would save travel time of less than 3 minutes a day. Is the risk to life worth this?
Ask these politicians how much is their wages going up and whats the reason behind the increase as these new politicians havent proved themselfs to want a wage increase,dont forget people its our taxes that paye these goverment wage increases
Let's wait and see before pushing the negative angle.
*cost of lockdown crisis
D Seymour is really seyless.
Cost of living crisis? Common get a grip present day New Zealand, there isn't one 🤪
Seymour mentioned Fair Pay Agreements, but will take the upcoming increase in parlemtarian salaries.
Hey David, you expect us to tighten our belts, how about the proposed MP salary hikes. I hear Willis is refusing acceptance. Maybe you should lead by example too?
Spoken just like a leader of Gloriavale You could adopt the name of hopeful Christian Mr Seymore.
The three parties stressed democracy during the elections but have overused urgency which brings into question their commitment to democracy. The fast tracking building bill has a question mark about side stepping democracy.
I actually like David (some of his policies), but seriously someone needs to OIA how many free lunches, banquets and dinners he's been to as an MP before he takes away kids from poor areas lunches. If he even consumed a slice of bread on the taxpayer dime, hes a hypocrite.
School lunches were fund from covid19 allocation. The three parties did not understand the government accounts on this matter.
Removal of the Auckland fuel charges mean property rates will go up . The new government did not think about this?
The next budget will still haveva need to borrow. This need would be less if income taxes were delayed ( interest deduction and rates of income tax) .
Welcome Leah ❤❤❤ yaye ...
What does D Seymour think the new teachers and doctors pay rates should be?
Cost of living issue arose due to private business increasing prices.
Local authority rates? Large increases! Inflation under the new government.
Getting rid of fair pay agreements, trying to get sick leave down to 5 days a year, trying to cut holidays ie the day after New Year’s Day and labour day, cutting the school lunch programs, doing his utmost to try and get rid of all employees rights and conditions, repealing the smoke free act, as well as being a racist, man what a great guy !
I'm going to address the issues you raised, not having a go at you.
Sick leave, fron 5 to 10 days. The majority of my employees now use 10 days of sick leave a year. When I was their age (and an employee) I used perhaps 15 sick days over 25 years of working.
Extra public holidays- as with extra sick leave, the customer always pays as costs must increase to cover extra. All business owners are not rich or wealthy. I believe we are all aspirational. School lunches, I worked for years on low wages and yes, I applied and got working for families. WFF was to help with the costs if the children. They never went hungry, were clothed appropriately and pur home was warm. We were NOT wealthy or rich. My parents grew up in the depression of the 1930's. I grew up in the 1970's. I know not to waste.
I would love to tell an underperforming employee 'back to work or get another job' - employers simply can not do that. Simple, if an employee 'abandoned their work' - still I can not end their employment until we give give them multiple opportunities to come vack to work. 10 days paid domestic violence leave.
In the business world, the hardest thing is staff, not getting business, not pleasing customers, not doing taxes, not working 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. It's staff. Ask any employer.
@@stevend3323 I have always had 10 sick days a year , I very rarely use more than 5 a year, but it’s good to have the insurance there if you do get sick, especially with Covid now we are going to have people come to work when they have Covid and infect everyone because they would have run out of sick leave
Bukle up butterceup
Please Decriminalise cannabis new zealand
No way. Real people do not need drugs to cope with life
@@darrinelford1473some people don’t use it to ‘cope with life’ they just like to have some fun some times.
That was tried but thrown out in a national bringing referendum in 2020.
No! I make more money with it illegal
@@darrinelford1473 yet most of the country drinks booze to cope 😂 what a joke
Inflation is moving down as a result labour policy.
No, No, No.Your wrong about everything. The greatest tragedy is that National listened to Bill.English. Because ordinary New Zealanders are wrong about everything. At best New Zealanders think.what was accepted wisdom in the UK in 1963 that nuclear power, high tech and modern medicine will solve everyhing. In fact they solve very little and the world already has twice its sustainable population.
The actual problem in the teaching profession and the police and too an increasing degree the military is that they lack the intelligence to do their job or even understand it. Reform of the current teachers,.police and military involves there complete replacement with intelligent who understand that the idea we can do thinks diffrently is bunkum.The most savage cuts are required in health where public money for hyper tension drugs, anti alcholism, anti obesity, psychiatry and social medicine needs to be eliminated.Social health will be most enganced if we gets the bars and supermarkets ooen 23 hours, accept high unemployment.Serve huge plates of fattening food to those who are so inclined, demand the strippers are naked and the stereo in every var is at 90 decibels.
Relax Frederick. Just have a cup of tea and a lie down.
I’m not buying what he says. He’s a true libertarian at heart? I do believe he will begin pushing for Immigration to resume, because we are about to lose all the citizens who have trained in this country and will definitely move overseas.
Work visas for liw skilled workers was tightened up on the 7th April. Much harder to get truck drivers, waiters etc. They are not making immigration easier, not yet anyway.
@@stevend3323 Yip, that's National. But what they will do is open up study in exchange for visa pathways, which will ironically create low skilled workers and fraud (again).This is great for business and landlords, which are generally the only two Act and National care about in terms of votes. It's cheaper to import than train. This is a model NZ should get away from and think about investing in education, police, STEM now, train our own and produce top quality sustaining a REAL NZ for our next generation rather than the next London.
@arohanui922 Funnly enough, I've created courses for international courses for equivalent of year 1 & 2 university. 'The establishment' are interested in outcomes, but have cooking clue on what business or NZ needs. They are all academic snobs.
Immediately after the Christchurch quakes I approached the appropriate authority for fast tracking courses for building/bricklayer courses etc. Not interested at all. Foreign works came by the thousands- very little opportunity to train or re-skill NZers.
I don't mind international students, we need to triple Dr's, Nurses, Technicians etc. They are welcome, if we can fill the numbers - let them come, but keep them. Of course we need more locals in professions, but why? It's too easy not to work. We don't need international students to drive Ubers/be in jobs that take only months to train in. Our people can do that.
This guy lies so much
no he does not
@@helenlizzystewart4908They all do! How do you know when a politician is lying? When their lips are moving. They’re all W.E.F loving global.ists. Other wing, same bird.
They all do. They’re politicians!
he's no jabcinda... the queen bee of bull sh.t
@@Chopper650yeah hes worse 😂
