Well done, team
@ponekeben @ChrisPenknz I have spoken to a lot of people in this space and it feels like the minister is taking this seriously. Let's hope they can help owners navigate their way out of the quagmire that is 'earthquake prone buildings'.
@codycoopernz @ChrisPenknz There's not enough capital or builders currently to do the work so it's an unenforceable regulation. Without the deadline extension the extreme scenario is WCC evicts people from 500 buildings across the city. The regime needs reform.
@codycoopernz @ChrisPenknz Most owners want to strengthen but can't afford and can't sell. They're in limbo. x.com/ponekeben/stat…

Genuinely great news for Wellington this morning with the decision from @ChrisPenknz to allow a 4 year extension for the deadline on earthquake prone buildings and a review into the entire regime. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/350247…
Inflation has fallen to the lowest rate since June 2021. Our Government is making good progress in our fight against the cost of living crisis.
Inflation falls to 4%.
Today in London, together with the PM, we launched Op Prosper - a new dedicated programme to revolutionise veterans employment across the United Kingdom. A meaningful job is the biggest life-chances accelerator for any veteran. Get involved here 👉 gov.uk/government/new…

Brynderwyns update: Roadworkers are continuing to make great progress on SH1 over the Brynderwyn Hills. There's still lots of work required before we reopen the road next month (on May 13)—the map below gives you an idea of the range of work happening across this stretch of SH1.

@ClintVSmith Maybe they should be looking at what’s considered earthquake-prone. I seem to recall the engineer who came up with the guidelines, saying that they were being misused, and as a result buildings were unnecessarily being classified as earthquake-prone.
With ANZAC Day fast approaching anyone wanting to catch up on a little history of what their Father, Grandfather, Uncle etc were involved in this is a great reference point. i have been reading up on the 23rd Battallion that my Dad was part of. my.christchurchcitylibraries.com/new-zealanders…

Public service job loss discourse has really proved how easy it is to get media attention with wonky stats... and I want in. I hear there's been a forfty point drop in the joy module since the new govt came into power. That's right, a whole forfty!
Nonsense stat from Hipkins - the workforce grew from c. 2.73m to 2.94m between Q4 2017 and Q4 2023, less than 10%. If his point is that a 15,000 or 32% increase in public service is only a small % of 3m people then that’s true but totally irrelevant newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…
I’m here in Thailand to create the conditions for fresh opportunities in trade, investment, and security so we can rebuild the economy back home. Not a bad way to get around while doing it!
Exciting stuff
We’ve just finished the first section of underground piling of four out of eight piles on Te Ara Tupua. You may've seen some new machinery working alongside SH2 earlier this month—this was our rig drilling 15-20 metres down in preparation for underground piles to be installed.
@PronouncedHare I’m no monetary expert but expect interest rates will drop between now and late 2026 & growth will resume

No new insight, of course. The axiom that "a product is no sooner created, than it, from that instant, affords a market for other products to the full extent of its own value," was written in 1803. Just easy to lose sight of the primacy of production over financial manipulation.
I think what we've re-learned (the hard way) is that fundamentally prosperity is about the production and availability of desirable goods and services. Everyone who provides desirable goods and services, or enables their provision, contributes to the building of wealth.
UBI advocacy, like MMT belief, is sustained by an addiction to abstraction over the real world underpinnings of the economy, reflecting a belief that reality and human nature can be forcibly aligned with things drawn on a whiteboard.

@ChrisPenknz Thanks Chris, It was also one many contributing factors on why I left NZ in Apr 97 for Oz. It was a pain in ass & down right shocking especially for those on sent Big Norm's Mystery Tours (the Navy T-shirts produced by the crews who sailed to French Nuclear Tests) in 72-73.
@codycoopernz @ChrisPenknz There's not enough capital or builders currently to do the work so it's an unenforceable regulation. Without the deadline extension the extreme scenario is WCC evicts people from 500 buildings across the city. The regime needs reform.
@ponekeben @ChrisPenknz That's a good and practical decision. Credit where it's due. The Council has advocated for it and good decision by the Minister.
@ponekeben @ChrisPenknz Good. Yes, there's risk with some of these buildings, including to pedestrians. But if we went by that level of risk we'd ban motor cars, completely, anywhere in New Zealand.
