You work hard for your money. A smaller government means you can keep more of it.
ACT would go further, but Budget '26 is finally shrinking the Wellington bureaucracy so we can protect the front line.

@Gregatnelson He's a communist. It has failed everywhere it's been.

NZ needs this, if govt can’t break the supermarket duopoly then we need kiwi markets

@TaxpayersUnion The cuts aren't going far enough. Less government and bureaucracy is the only way ahead.
English
New Zealand’s public service has grown rapidly over the last few years 💸
Some say the growth was needed to improve services and manage major challenges. Others think bureaucracy has expanded too far without better results for taxpayers.
What do you reckon? does the public service need trimming back, or are the cuts going too far? 👇

@1nzmw Our economy is too small. NZ bureaucracy would grow. We've owned BNZ before and it all but collapsed.
English
I'm not a fan of buying BNZ because:
1. Now that they know, the price has just quadrupled :-)
2. More debt that we can't afford to pay
3. We already have a Kiwi owned bank called Kiwibank
Why don't we just do a partial privatisation or public listing of Kiwibank and make it so only Kiwis can buy shares. That way Kiwibank grows in size to compete with the Ozzy banks, Kiwis will invest in our own bank and the government doesn't need to go into more debt.
New Zealand First@nzfirst
New Zealand First will be proposing a buy-back of the Bank of New Zealand from National Australia Bank. It will be merged with Kiwibank to form the “National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ)” – a fully Crown owned, commercially run, systemically significant domestic bank with the scale to genuinely compete with ANZ, ASB and Westpac. After all, when National sold BNZ to NAB in November 1992, it then had six of every ten New Zealand banking customers. This is a buy-back to put a New Zealand owned competitor on the field at the scale required to change the behaviour of the foreign-owned banks. READ MORE: nzfirst.nz/the_kiwisaver_…

@gaye_ess 100%. But it appears the biggest breeders win. They are creators of nothing but will takeover and eventually destroy what we built.

"The Chinaman, and the Hindu also, are not desirable immigrants to this country. As a representative of the aboriginal race of New Zealand, I sympathise with the first immigrants to this country – the British – in the attitude they take up with regard to the influx of the Chinese and other Asiatics. My reason is this: that undoubtedly – I will not say the highest, but the best civilisation that has so far appeared on the face of this globe is the civilisation that is represented by the British race."

"Then there she was, accompanied by the writer Noelle McCarthy, who would be asking questions. In quick succession, people rose to their feet and applauded, a standing ovation, even though she hadn’t said a word. It was an outpouring of great affection and gratitude."

@NMowbray23 @nzherald Expect no less from the leftist media. Ignorant socialists.
English
@nzherald Why frame a headline like this and immediately take the “reckless” angle when many New Zealanders can clearly see our bureaucracy has become bloated, inefficient and unsustainable?
A leaner, more focused government is not reckless if it improves outcomes, reduces duplication and frees up resources for the frontline services that actually matter.
New Zealand is a small country. We cannot afford layers and layers of administration growing endlessly while productivity stalls and living costs rise. We should be aiming for a world-class public sector that is streamlined, narrower, effective and obsessed with outcomes.
Super disappointing to frame it as a negative when clearly it is sensible.

@Tinebobagain India keeps their best talent in India. It pushes out the lower ranks as there are not enough jobs and resources for the population.

Kiwis will be outnumbered by non-Kiwis in New Zealand within 20 years!

@dellavaris And when AI/robotics is used these imports will be on welfare. Its absolute short sightedness or deliberate replacement.

"Why import low skilled jobs - 98% of 'education-permanent visa' migrants have zero useable skills. its an indian/chinese rort" 🎯
Ed Ludbrook@EdLudbrook
0.8% population increase. 100,000 people when the infrastucture grows at about 30,000. hospital beds, schools, roads. ALL paid by citizen not immigrant. HOW stupid are we. 1. NZ does not need population growth. With huge concerns over the impact of AI and robots on jobs, why would you ever import people. So so stupid. 2. Why import low skilled jobs - 98% of 'education-permanent visa' migrants have zero useable skills. its an indian/chinese rort. 3. Why important people with zero cultural fit under the scam of 'multiculturalism' or 'diversity is strength'... which has been proven as a scam.

@EerykMcRae @Earthyundertone Gen Zs are angry about immigration and societal change that brings. Buying a home has become more in their reach not less.
English
New Zealanders are a minority in Auckland and the overwhelming majority of Gen Z will never own a home. Let's not pretend the decisions of decades past were good in the long term.
It's older generations burying their heads in the sand about our nations outlook that pisses gen z off, not a Marxist desire to blame others for our problems.
Just because your generation experienced short term benefits, doesn't mean it didn't come with long term consequences that'll make things much much worse for future generations.

@TaxpayersUnion We are at the end of the democratic cycle. What comes next will be ugly but necessary. Its going to get a whole lot worse yet.

Every year: higher taxes, bigger budgets, same problems. When do we admit the strategy isn’t working?!

@RyanHendersonNZ The same for every McDonald's in Auckland. Kiwis are shut out. Boycott them all.

🚩 "Where the hell are the Kiwis?"
The Auckland CBD 𝗠𝗰𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱'𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘀 photo looks like ANOTHER COUNTRY.
The Feltons import EVERY SINGLE one of their shift managers on Accredited Employer Work Visas.
This is “highly skilled work” apparently. Thank you Katrina Felton for making our country a better place.
🏖️ They’ve also recently bought 𝗠𝗰𝗗𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹𝗱'𝘀 𝗢𝗿𝗲𝘄𝗮. Staff have reported it used to be staffed by local Kiwi teens, but now, all new hires are Indian and Filipino.
"SO DISGUSTING" said one Orewa resident, who claims the restaurant used to be so good until they changed owners.
⚠️Why don't the Feltons promote their own staff to the $25/h position of shift manager?
⚠️ Why do the Feltons refuse to hire NZ teens for any position.
Let's be clear, there's no issue with a few Filipino or Indian staff, but when almost every single new hire is non-Kiwi, the Feltons need to front up.
Are you seeing the same in your local Maccas? Drop your store below
Ryan Henderson 🇳🇿@RyanHendersonNZ
🚩 Take the Feltons, for example. They own five Auckland McDonald's franchises. The Feltons import ALL their shift managers on the Accredited Employer Work Visa. Almost ALL their staff at all five are Filipino and Indian 🇵🇭 🇮🇳 . This is not a happenstance. They are cheap and obedient for their White masters (The Feltons). ⚽ Then they go and sponsor Western Springs AFC (football), after ruining this country, and actively removing opportunities from young New Zealanders looking for a part time job or trying to work their way up. Eff you.

@LeahPanapa No.
If women want men out of their spaces they should stop voting in favour of it.

@ajthompson13 The demographic that supported these restaurants are disappearing. Sadly, Auckland is unrecognizable from the 80s and 90s.

Harbourside Ocean Bar Grill opened in 1988, to permanently close June 13
The owners say it traded well prior to Covid. However, since Covid, lower sales & ever-increasing costs has meant operating the restaurant is no longer commercially viable

"Immigration Minister Erica Stanford has said New Zealand will have to rely on migration because the country is not having enough children."
So we are bringing thousands of Indians in to replace kiwi children, and have even more children, Perhaps if we made NZ a better place to live by reducing the cost of living, by improving infrastructure to sustain a bigger population, by encouraging kiwis to stay here instead of going to Australia, our birth rate would improve. The slipping birth rate is a terrible excuse for mass immigration. Even fewer people will want to live in a country filled with the third world. #nzpol

National is currently approving new mosques around NZ and a third large Islamic school to make our country a more Muslim-friendly place for future migrants 🙄
Deport Foreign Criminals@peterstopcrime
They all had a go in her and on her from the age of 13. 29 men who identified themselves as Muslim have been charged in connection with the rape of a single female across a seven-year period in West Yorkshire.

@bryce_edwards Importing "skilled" immigrants that work in low paying jobs does not enhance our economy. We do not attract the top tier professionals. We simply cannot compete.
