@TheConsultant18 The approximate total base salary cost for ~64,535 FTEs is about $6.67 billion per year.
This refers to the core Public Service (government departments & ministries)
The wider public sector (including health, education, police, Crown entities, etc.) is much larger-around 477,000
@gaye_ess Seems a hard ask though ...
Botany Electorate - Ethnicity and Birthplace

@saltyreigns Don't worry, sitting in a laboratory fridge, right now, is a 'vaccine', ready to go under emergency use, for humans to reduce their CO2 output. They just need to ramp up the 'crisis' a bit more.
So, we can all do our duty to save granny. Boosters every 6 months, of course.
@The_Anglo_Saxon@2ETEKA Watched your YouTube on strategic voting and I get that. My issue is, living in the permanent psuedo-socialist city of Dunedin, that NAT will never get an electorate seat here (unless by miracle). So an electorate vote for NAT is a waste?
Any suggestion I can pass to others?
@AppleBear365 The country is stuffed either way. It is now a conscience vote. I'd rather vote on principle than give support to the globalists & communists that have infested NAT. Luxon will see it as a mandate if reelected. He is likely already considering a plan B with his mate Hipkins.
@JohnDen98975832@SamaHoole If all went well then yes, 70-80 for humans. Life was harsh though, especially for childhood diseases.
The low average was driven by early deaths; those who made it past childhood had a reasonable chance of a longer life by the standards of the time.
@dellavaris "Gone, Indians everywhere"
Exactly!
They are now everywhere indeed. I listened to an RNZ article only 10 minutes ago, about a proposed student loans policy, and bingo ... meet Nimish Milan Singh, president of the Auckland University Students' Association, complaining, of course
@dellavaris They are parasites, leeching off and abusing all systems in every way possible.
Then complain they are somehow victims as they destroy it all.
Makes me sick that this has all been aided and abetted by our treacherous political class.
