We are to busy destroying our productivity with ideology from previous government
What a gift of an interview. To Roger, thank you for your wisdom, insight and your sharing. I agree entirely.
Most of us live in our comfort zones which, ironically, leave us feeling permanently uncomfortable.
NZ has many people happy to have a comfortable lifestyle without too much stress but less materialism
We lost the plot when we went all "anti-nuclear weapons & nuclear ships" with the US. We thought we could take on the big guys. We lost out on a great opportunity to develop a microchip industry in New Zealand, with the help of the US. Something that is desperately needed.
I like that man Sean, he needs to be a regular.
Ireland gave huge tax incentives to companies.
The continual comparisons the media make with Ireland when it comes to economics is somewhat a no brainer. New Zealand isn't straddling Britain and a continent containing 450 million people. We are isolated imports are excessively expensive to business due to distance a major drawback !
NZ is primarily an agricultural nation. If you want prosperity you need your be able to sell something. Australia sells resources and commodities. Nz could develop resource industries and could invest in higher tech industries but it needs to be incentivized through lower tax. No country ever taxed itself to prosperity
Bang on this one Sean. We used to believe in ourselves but for years we have been hoodwinked by governments introducing the BS from the UN. New Zealand is so multicultural now we which has affected us since this crazy diversity at all costs was forced on us.
PS: Ireland was a cot case the big tech and big pharma made them wealthy before moving somewhere else to get cheap low taxation, it might be coming back but much of that would be their proximity to the European markets and they are not happy to lose more of there primary industry
A trouble is guys we've been slipping backwards since the 1980's 40 years of decline can't be reversed easily.I think New Zealand's f..ked unless we get serious.And wtf theirs nothing wrong with Luxon saying we're open for business.🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿👍
1960's more like
The Irish have been emigrating to America since the late 1800s, this has created a great relationship politically, in commerce and in tourism. Plus are part of the E.U for better or worse. Many big global tech companies see Ireland as H.Q and gateway for the whole of Europe.
They really do have a superior education system, great history and culture and performing Arts.
They put the letter E in the word Whiskey to distinguish their own quality brands from the rest. A land of Scholars and of saints and of number one best sellers - literature and music.
The only rugby team in the world that can rock the status of the A.Bs.
They breed great politicians, all the nessecary skills are developed in the great Irish family, like deplomacy.
Beat that NZ.
In the near future the Irish economy will take over the English one and Ireland and Northern Ireland will be one again, oppression tends to have the opposite outcome to what the perpetrator intended.
First NZ should teach their kids to make their own lunches before they take on the world's problems.😂🤣😂
I hate to say the obvious but there is a percentage of Maori who have hurt and hate because of what happened 150 yrs ago. They are pushing to change the constitution of NZ and not one of them have been elected in our democracy
This country is in a pickle because we like to do what other western countries do! Mainly trying to look good and say the right things! We do not have our own voice. We have a voice that is in line with the US and the UK. A deaf dumb and blind person can perceive that. NZ will never be a great country again because we have weak minded leaders who lack courage and balls to do the hard
work that needs to be done. We are a laid back,she'll be right nation. Thats the truth. Production...barely breathing!..Technology..gaming is OK...Sport, yeah pretty good..milk..wow amazing!
Thats it!. Infrastructure,policing,law,justice,housing,medical,education= EMBARRASSING! It could change but it needs logic,reason and rationale..the 3 things most politicians and people lack!
the politicians and the media , show exactly the mentality of the people . with in seconds sean is bashing the other media , in stead of reporting the facts
a 1% transaction tax with no tax deductions , tax advantage , or laws changed to help any single group of people . will allow real businessmen to do business .
as soon as you take tax advantage , the government owns you , as you are dependent on the government to survive .
and why i see a 1% transaction over all the other tax's we have today , is because it will cut the most red tape , the fastest .
the way we are taxed , is where our inflation has come from , ie house price's going from 30k to 900k in 50years is inflation,
only the government do not count housing as a cost of living , when they work out the inflation number
Sharp looking Blazer there, Sean 👍 Dressed to impress today. 👨💼
Strange more Irish wanting to live here while many kiwis dont want to live in Ireland. Irish dairy farmers want to buy here
Oh Roger, do I have to explain again that Ireland is part of a gigantic tax and transfer union called the EU, which benefits from interest rate compression for bonds due to ECB policy and eye-wateringly huge bailout capacity? Not all investment and growth is created equal - the Irish housing market is not a bad example. Infrastructure is funded by Brussels.
There are certain irreducibles to NZ's access to capital and markets which can't be waved away with a "but Ireland...!".
Ireland is not going well for the average person. This why young people are leaving.
Bang on. Being only a short haul to a large market not thousands of ks.
Yeah amazing how much smaller the world has gotten last few years in particular. Amazing. Ireland didnt like getting colonized over and over again eh 😅
If foreign money can buy NZ houses. Our housing market gets inflated making houses more unaffordable for the people that live here. Because their prices are no longer bottlenecked by our nations GDP. It also means foreign wealth can outbid NZ citizens for a house and then rent it back to NZ'ers.
I don't think having foreign wealth competing for houses with NZ citizens, having foreign landlords extracting from our economy and being more foreign owned is a net benefit. People that use smug brief promotions of foreign wealth owning more NZ land and homes as a huge positive for NZ'ers are dishonest. And it is always done with a condescending logic or name calling.
lol if capitalism has brought the world to its knees then I think there’s nothing wrong with this mindset
I actually shudder at the thought of mega rich multinationals bulldozing ther way into this country. Its actually a frightening thought
Bring back Frakie Jones, this guys got nothing in the over opinionated bloated ego bullshit stakes compared to ol' frakie...
What rubbish. NZ has always been open for business. This country for 37 years has been exposed to 'for profit at least cost' neoliberal economics and governance, generating little appetite for change, complacency is in all level of NZ society, nimbyism, 3 yearly cheap quick fix solutions are the name of game to keep the voters happy and a mediocre average wage, predominantly service and consumer based, high import on most every day items, property investing/selling, small domestic manufacturing, low financial return tourism and raw product export economy creating the social, economic, infrastructural mess the country is currently in. This government despite all the hype has no 'out of the square' long term plans to future proof the country to increasing global geopolitical, trade, economic, supply chain and health uncertainties and the destructive effects of a warming planet. Comparing NZ with Ireland, is a joke, Ireland is in the EU, NZ is not. This country is at the bottom of world with its nearest neighbour is 3 days by sea for freight or 3 hours by air for people.
very well said
Please decriminalise cannabis in new zealand
@@NA-sj9jy are you aware of how many people are incarcerated because of the cannabis laws in new zealand
Yea we had a referendum and a slight majority of people want to keep criminalizing cannabis use so in the minds of mist dolt kiwis that justifies criminalizing a minority group... derp derp derp
The topic of this net cast is part of the result of using drugs, the cultivation of apathy and disinterest in being a productive citizen of NZ, NO to legalization of cannabis
@@NA-sj9jy might i ask what generation you come from please?
@@NA-sj9jy are you even from new zealand?
