“Kiwis come back”

We have the most citizens permanently living overseas relative to population size

Not fun facts:

🛫 NZ has the highest emigration rate in the OECD.

🛬 The OECD considers us to have the 3rd most volatile net migration rates.

👷 The OECD’s International Migration Outlook shows NZ is among the worst for migrant workers being over qualified for their roles.

The maximum amount a household can get for In‑Work Tax Credits is $5,300. I support financial assistance for working families, but it costs $600–$700 million a year, and at its core it’s subsidising employers so they can pay lower wages. You should simply be paid fairly

[jacob @palmytrash]

not fun facts: NZ is the worst in the OECD for youth mental health and we have the highest youth suicide. We are 4th highest for child poverty and 2nd highest for child obesity. We are the 5th most unequal country when comparing educational outcomes between low and high income.

Albo should lean in and release an end of year list like Obama but instead of favourite movies or books it’s his top ten celebs He’d bang

🇲🇽 vs. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[jacob @palmytrash]

Because I actually think owning a home is really really important i prefer both

[jacob @palmytrash]

There were 33,000 consents approved for houses last year, which is about the same as our population growth

We either need to build more houses or limit migration. It is one or the other and we need to decide already

@Alt13S53852 Yes they do lol. I’m not reading the rest of your comments but you’re wrong

[jacob @palmytrash]

Non‑citizens should not be allowed to vote. Most NZ citizens know what it’s like to live here. Someone on a resident visa who’s only been here a year doesn’t know shit.

[jacob @palmytrash]

@gabsi Although it is presumably your choice to not be a citizen so maybe you shouldn’t be able to

[jacob @palmytrash]

@gabsi No you’ve been here 26 years lol
