GDP grows by 0.8% in first quarter of year
The .8% GDP growth was driven mostly by currency fluctuations that benefit primary exports, but those numbers hide a truth other numbers expose.
- 500 000 Kiwis need food banks every single month!
- 600+ suicides each year.
- Net migration fell with a loss of 47,100 Kiwis in 2024, the largest number recorded.
- Young people aged 18 to 30 made up 38% of the 72,000 departures.

Squeaky Clean has a far better one than this lot .
luxon thinks an 0.8% growth rate for the 3 months is fantastic .Just look back to 2022 and look with envy at the 6% growth of a well run economy coming out of a world wide pandemic .
So much for the skin head gang leaders laser focus .Maybe he should seek advice from the real gang leaders on how to run a growth economy .He needs to get rid of the housewives of the bee hive as well they are sinking the ship with there vile hate toward the real people of NZ who may not be sorted but they do vote every 3 years .

Yes, spot on Chairman and our family is looking to move to Australia very soon.
Interestingly our economy has hit rock bottom since the last election and it is not hard to understand why.
We are not at the bottom yet Charles but the momentum is building
It is plain that neither of our major parties can be bothered to address the major problems plaguing our country. The minor parties aren’t much cop either. Neither gender wars nor cowboy hats build houses.
The first thing that needs to go is neoliberalism. Check out this video by GJ Murphy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYyalJMXROw
No party will achieve anything of substance until they reject this crap. And, NZ has real problems that must be resolved. Paying lipservice to anything while neoliberalism reigns is fatuous – neither growth nor social justice can be achieved under neoliberalism. It must go, and so must any fool that professes it.
