					<description><![CDATA[The government has got it badly wrong with the new Policy Targets Agreement, its contract with the Reserve Bank about monetary policy. Perhaps inadvertently, the emphasis is now on maximising employment, not living standards. Maximising employment is not the same as minimising unemployment.

					<description><![CDATA[The business media is all in an excited state over the fact that the headline growth rate for the New Zealand economy is going to around 3.5% for the year ending June. What they don't tell you is that because of the artificial boost to the population as a result of the government opening the taps for new migrants the actual annual per capita growth rate is only 0.6%.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Shelter is a human right, not a privilege. Private ownership of land is a privilege, not a human right. The debate is framed about getting 'first-home buyers' on the 'property ladder'. Framing this as a right makes no more sense than having a debate about how to get people onto the 'sharemarket ladder'.

					<description><![CDATA[The Brexit referendum means many things, only one of which is a requirement for Grand Bretagne (Big Britain; as distinct from Bretagne, Brittany) to leave the European Union. Most important, the outcome was the political equivalent of a magnitude five earthquake. It may have forestalled the magnitude eight earthquake that was otherwise coming to a politically comatose Europe.]]></description>
