Luxon will give Bosses the right to sack and Landlords the right to kick you out

What National are promising is to bash the bottom feeders, the poor who can’t fight back, those who are on the fringes.

National have announced they will not only give Landlords the right to throw you out onto the street without reason, they will also give Bosses the right to sack you after 90 days.

In both relationships, National sides with the rich and the powerful.

Weakening peoples job security and their living arrangements is a direct assault on working people to keep them weak, to destabilise them.

When the books are opened in 2 weeks, the extreme Chinese economic situation and our exposure to it will see a stock market hit and KiwiSaver accounts smashed.

National intend to wrap $250 a fortnight around the rick while robbing the poor of funding for their needs.

It’s cruel and the shallow coverage by the political news media is absurdly simplistic.

This is class war without the political vocabulary to describe it.

          • No, he didn’t bother, as the comment in its entirety was a nothing… At best, a typical tory idiot showing their triumphalism, and narrow bigotry, and showing it with pride…
            If NZs development had been left to these cretins, then The Americans would have overrun the place years ago, to protect their southern flank from the “commies” … And why not indeed… As the failed state it was becoming who would have cared? Certainly the Brits haven’t given a shit since NZ became “independent” as long as they got their meat and cheese at the discount rates they demanded…

        • @bobnob, if your “not sure” just don’t post comments that add nothing, ever. (That would be all your comments btw). Good boy.

  3. 7 Houses Luxon wants to return NZ back to the good ol’ days. Basically a watered down version of the 1991 Employment Contracts Act. Yes that was fantastic for employers, not so for the average kiwi workers though. There are still enough people around who remember the cynical attack by NATCCP on NZ workers and families via the ECA. Where people turned up to their place of work with employers offering them less pay and conditions than they were getting previously. If you didn’t like it, too bad. Go and find another job ya peasants. What it really said, was We don’t give a flying fuck about you.

    Sounds like 7 Houses Luxon and NATCCP still don’t give a fuck about the average Kiwi. Not unless you can gouge ever more rent from them, thanks to government subsidies – funded by you and I.

  8. At tye moment landlords have to see their investment destroyed and can do nothing about it .A good landlord will do all he can to keep a good tenant .There are bad landlords and bad tenants it is human uature but it is a small minority on both sides .The worst landlord is the state as they do not seem ro be able to get tough on bad tenants so the good people next door have to suffer.
    In the same way why would a good employer get ride of a good worker in the present Labour market being so tight .At the same time having to keep a staff member that Is not pulling their weight is a burden employers should not have to bare on top of all the other crap an employer has to deal with these days

      • 30% of people rent – we can’t all be socialist haters of anyone with something we don’t have.

        Grow up please.

    • It’s not often I agree with you although if Housing Corp (or whatever they call themself now) did not take unreliable tenants they would either force private landlords to take them or eventually the tenants could end up in prison. It is probably cheaper to keep them in state housing but there are many things wrong with society that any government is incapable of fixing.

    • Trevor, that’s a bit simple though. People got to live somewhere, even “those” people. And let’s face it, many many businesses haven’t got a clue how to run a business successfully or select adequate staff. Many many business owners are really awful employers too. The power imbalance of landlords and employers dictates that tenants and employees therefore need adequate protections to mitigate the effects of bad players. Another example is our very one Bob the First. He contributes f all to the discourse on TDB, but we tolerate him nonetheless because technically he’s probably a “real live boy” and we care about people here, even the numbnuts and self serving greedy cunts. As a country/species we are only as robust collectively as our weakest link, so no one gets left behind in an ideal society.

  9. National/Axe – capital capitulation to those too brain-dead to see where the GPS is taking them – the mercenaries will go over the direct route on the GPS, up the mountain to the money mines and the art storage caves and then down the looong drop.

  11. I have to admit I’m not convinced about either Left policy despite renting. A nice cushioning period is humane.

    Willing to be convinced.

  13. lANDLORDS, EH!, I am a retired trades person, paint paper hang like ten Trades Persons, and most landies i dealt with, in most, shortcut profit maxers, irrespective of who they thought would be their tenants.

  14. Show us, your numbers,, gold no need, show us your slash social services numbers, our numbers are equated, why not show, the slash of our care your proposed mother of budget, on steroids how the social care slash. Show your numbers, or more pertinent your slash, of our social care.
