Benedict Yu

I was surprised but pleased to hear the announcement yesterday on state housing rents.

https://www.beehive.govt.nz/release/delivering-fairer-social-housing

Not so pleased at the reporting. Expect more of this rubbish from the media in the next few months.

These journalists cannot report on facts, the arguments for a policy, and the arguments against a policy. Instead they have become activists in support of the opposition Parties.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360982188/there-nothing-lucky-about-living-public-housing-tenant-says-willis-out-touch-over-lotto-comments

https://www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360982141/minister-seeking-tougher-accommodation-supplement-criteria-claims-1000-week-housing-allowance

The claim from Nicola Willis that State Housing tenants have “won Lotto” was clearly metaphorical. It conveys the reality that those in a state house are usually dramatically better off than those on the waiting list and struggling in private rentals, or in precarious housing.

When I worked on housing policy in Wellington a decade ago, a frequent phrase I heard was that many housing tenants had “won the jackpot”. So Nicola Willis did not invent this metaphorical saying. In Wellington policy circles it has been around forever.

Let’s take an unemployed couple with three children in Auckland. Their benefit is $669 per week. They have a four bedroom state house. Their rent is $167.

Now take another couple with three children in an Auckland private rental house. The average weekly rent on such a house is $785. That rent is $618 more then the $167 rent paid by the couple in the state house. 😲 💵

That couple also receives the Accommodation Supplement which in Auckland would be $305 per week. They would also apply for “Temporary Additional Assistance” which is reassessed every 13 weeks. This would be a maximum of $200 per week. Therefore, at best, the couple is $113 per week worse off than the comparable couple with three children in the State House.

Also it is important to bear in mind that the $200 per week in “temporary additional assistance” is both tenuous and the maximum available. A new application needs to be submitted every 13 weeks. This application process will be time consuming and anxiety inducing. In contrast, the comparable State Housing tenants have a secure home, effectively for life, at an affordable rent, with 75 percent of the rent met by the taxpayers.

All the government is proposing is to partially correct the existing dramatic tilt in the playing field in favour of state housing tenants. It is simply about fairness.

It took me 15 minutes to research and write this explanation. It could be the basis of an informative article by a journalist. Instead we get hysteria. They are a waste of space.

  Minister Bishop is saying some 30% of social housing tenants are paying at or near market rent based on household income. So that’s over 30,000 households. They need to be moved on and not voluntarily. There has been such a policy in the past, maybe still is, but if so how is it doing?

    “Minister Bishop is saying some 30% of social housing tenants are paying at or near market rent based on household income. So that’s over 30,000 households.
    
    That’s not at all what was reported.
    Totally incorrect, and thus a lie, spin, or ignorance.
    Here’s the actual quote from the RNZ article:
    _
    
    He said around 30 percent of people in social housing earned enough to pay for a market rental, “not everyone will be able to do that, but many can”.
    
    There were also around 1100 people in social housing who pay market rents already.
    _
    
    And as for your nasty ‘firm’ solution:
    
    “They need to be moved on and not voluntarily.”
    
    Like … (name your “others”) … or street sleepers?
    
    Sure, the 1100 could be encouraged to look for and go private, if they can, and those who might be able to afford it too, but are the alternative houses there? OK, throw them into the deep end and let them swim in the market… if they can afford it, to.
    
    In my early ’70s, I’ve been in social housing for the last 10 + 2 years; the first in an inner city apartment that I found out later was leased.
    
    I’m just living on my super, a single frugal bloke.
    
    The lease wasn’t renewed, and I had a forced move to new accommodation, which in the end I am very grateful to have, but the move was extremely disruptive, a lot of effort which had me in hospital for emergency surgery, “busting a gut”, if you like.
    
    I’m still unpacking and setting up what I had then.
    
    Maybe moving might be less stressful for rich folk?

      If the Minister says about a third of social housing households have sufficient income to pay market rents, the Minister will know that they are already paying at or near market rents in their social housing. There is an annual household income review to set income related rent – that’s called data.
      
      Supply of private sector housing? Many locations have an oversupply of vacancies. Check out vacancies for brand new townhouses for example. Not all social housing tenants will be top of private landlord lists of course – general rule of thumb a third excellent, a third average, the other third ….

  I agree Benedict, Stuff has become the media arm of Labour.
  What I hope changes is the attitude of a state house being a ‘house for life’.
  It has always frustrated me that, quite rightly, a family of say 3+ kids gets a 4 bedroom state house, now in approx 10-15 yrs those kids are now adults and either moved out of the house or are still living there.
  This is the time the house is allocated to another young family to repeat the cycle…but the fight and bad press that happens when the state tries to ‘take our house’ away is not only wrong but it’s selfish of the tenants to deny what they were given when their family was young.
  Every state tennant should have a term lease, a maximum term in a state house then re evaluate at the time the term is up.
  They were never intended to be a house for life.

    There has never been a state house for life policy. But in 2014 tenancy reviews were formalised and hundreds moved on, most with support to private housing including ownership.
    
    Paula Bennett set up that formalised process and did report numbers that moved. Not sure what’s happened since 2017 but there will be information on number of tenancy reviews and results somewhere, even if the number is zero. HUD and MSD are pretty good at collecting data and reporting.

      Very close to a house for life though arty.
      
      mrspdm grew up in a 4 bedroomed state house on half an acre section that family moved into in 1949. They only moved from it when we initiated a Granny Flat on our section in the mid 80’s for her parents because both house and section were too big for them to maintain.
      
      They could have bought it under a Housing Corp scheme in (I think) the mid/late 50’s) but FIL was adamant no one should take on that amount of debt – probably around $4/6,000.

Winston Peters talking about the Nordic countries: “They are also more secure because they can afford to sustain strong spending to grow their defence capabilities. Enduringly robust defence spending not only strengthens a country’s foreign policy effectiveness, as we learned between 2017-20, but it gives heft to that country’s voice on the international stage.”

“Singapore is a prime example of a small state whose voice is widely respected and whose voice is given strength by its robust defence spending.”

“Our voice is not strong. We fight our budget corner hard, but until future New Zealand governments – whoever leads them – see defence and foreign policies not as a cost, but as a driver for making New Zealanders richer and more secure, a highly active diplomacy will be needed to compensate for the lack of resources. It’s an absolute necessity while we play budget catch-up.”

He’s absolutely right of course but NZ has not followed this advice ever. We were ill prepared for both World Wars and the Holland, Holyoake, Clark and Key governments reduced defence expenditure beyond the bone. Arden etc chopped into the flesh so it’s encouraging to hear Luxon, Seymour and Peters agree that we’ve got to bite the bullet. But let’s do it properly this time.

As an aside I was Kirk’s escort officer in Vietnam in 1970. His main topic was converting Raetihi Hospital (not far from Waiouru) into a rest centre for stressed mothers.

      pdm: It is a very long time ago – more than 50 years – but from memory the Kirk government had no policy to remove or reduce the modest military contribution we made to the Vietnam War. And I don’t think Holyoake was too keen on it either – but then we were part of ANZUS and had to be seen to “do our bit”.

        Michael J: Yes, of course you are right. Kirk died in 1974, and the Yanks bailed out in 1975. I find it amusing that I still come across Americans who just can’t admit that they lost that war to a bunch of “gooks” in sandals.

        The Yanks were actually essentially gone by early 1973. The South Vietnamese Army held out for another couple of years. On paper they were more than a match for the NVA, but were paralysed by corruption and low morale. In 1975 came the final blow, with the iconic footage of the NVA tank crashing through the gates of the US embassy and the last Americans evacuating from the roof by chopper. I remember seeing that on TV despite being only eight at the time.

  Could it be the Kirk was so proud of the conversion that it formed a significant part of a speech he gave in Vietnam.
  If so, it is not on the main thread of defense, but an anecdote about how defense security and the wellbeing of the population can be linked.

    No, it was just a musing, it wasn’t policy and didn’t happen. I’d suggested that combining the Waiouru Army Hospital with the local cottage ones would give the region a good medical facility and the large number of wives and children in Waiouru a distinct improvement.

  Cass, I once worked with an Air Force chap when he had days off from his job. After Kirk’s death he recalled as a crewman the PM being transported to Wellington on an Air Force plane. Kirk’s condition at that time he described as dire and in the parlance of the day ‘like death warmed up’. The PM sadly died not long after.

  Why the sudden interest in NZ defense spending as % of GDP.
  It appears that
  On average, New Zealand has spent between 1.0% and 1.5% of its annual GDP on defense over the last four decades.
  
  Comparing ourselves to Nordic countries is a bit disengeneous in my view.
  We are surrounded by a bloody large moat.
  Nordic countries are adjacent to the big bogy man Russia.
  
  Singapore is adjacent to that other bogy man Muslim Indonesia.

Check this RNZ article out.

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/health/595945/hutt-valley-family-support-service-closing-doors-after-60-years

A social service provider is closing apparently, and due to lack of funding we are told.

The reporter had time to interview the provider and to get the thoughts of the ubiquitous Fleur Fitzsimons, who got a free hit in to slam the government, but we are not told anything about the reasons for the funding changes whatsoever. Nor is anyone from the government interviewed as to the reasons or trade offs behind these changes.

What we’re left with is a totally one-sided hit piece, in an election year, where key fundamental questions remain unanswered and the other side of the issue not represented at all.

Is this responsible journalism or just a partisan hit piece? Shouldn’t the reporter have held off before they got the views of either the govt agency involved or the minister?

I thought article balance was a key RNZ responsibility?

    If RNZ gets canned in the future and people ask why, we could do no better than show them this piece of work.

  So the government was giving money to a private organisation to tell people how to access government services. This organisation seems to be welded on to the government and takes taxpayer money as a right. Having the PSA boss speak for the employees suggest these activities belong inside the fabled civil service.

Recently, at the U.S.-China summit in Beijing, Premier Xi [Jinping] mentioned that he hoped that both parties, the United States and China, could avoid the Thucydides Trap.
What did that mean? It refers to a book and an article by the well-known political scientist Graham Allison.
In it, he presented a paradigm of international relations. Briefly, it was this: If you have an established power, like ancient Sparta, and it gets worried that there is an ascending power, a rising new neighborhood bully or something, the older power, the established power, will attack it, and there will be a war. [I was surprised to hear Xi say this. With a competent president in the Whitehouse; the trap is unlikely to be sprung. ]

  Here is a guy who campaigned on stopping wars – the Ukraine one was going to take him “about a day” – but instead he started one; a war that is having a knock on effect all over the world, including NZ.
  
  He campaigned on reducing inflation; instead it has grown. He campaigned on all sorts of things – none of which have come to pass. He changes his mind literally daily…you and your fellow cheerleaders “explain” this as a cunning strategy to confuse other world leaders – it is no such thing IMHO.
  
  Do let us know what achievements you think he has made since taking office for the second time.

        So do the Down voters want to deny that we are in a global oil crisis, heading towards a recession and that he has damaged relations with allies. I realise most on this blog, like the person who claims he is the best president in all his life, must be 3 years old, have very little idea how bad things are for the general public right now in the USA. Just moronic repeating the bullshit from one of the worst presidents the USA has had. People who claim the msm spread bullshit spread their own

      Best US president in my lifetime.
      
      Not perfect as there is no such thing.
      
      Needs to stop fannying about re Iran. Needs to knock them from here to kingdom come and when he does the middle east will be like Japan was after WW II.
      
      Peace in the middle east will mean peace throughout the world and lower gas prices.
      
      He needs to finish the job and stop the namby-pamby.

    Oh let me count the ways :
    – zero aliens released into the United States
    – last year 2m illegals deported or self deported
    – corruption exposed in Minnesota and California, welfare fraud in the billions of dollars
    – Venezuela has gone, Cuba is about to go and Iran is on the cusp. The end of Maduro, the communists, the Castros and the Ayatollahs and the world is a better place
    – Ukraine is winning the war in some places. Trump has tried hard to get peace but Putin needs the war to survive.
    – billions of dollars of investment into the USA
    – tariffs on the agenda and sticking it to the globalists
    – Israel kicking ass throughout the middle east
    – America leaves the climate accords.
    
    It’s joyous to behold. The most pro American, pro Christian, pro his people president in living memory.

    Less than 24 hours ago on this very blog we had a report how one of the NZ media had lied about Trump.
    
    Despite that and a plethora of other examples of media dishonesty, the usual suspects continue blathering on with the opinions they have formed based on the egregious lies the media have been pumping out for consumption by the uncritical useful idiots.

    Inflation is down, so are grocery prices. Several wars have been stopped. Social media is a weapon to keep the usual suspects guessing. Venezeula isn’t hosting Iranian terrorists, and isn’t sending oil to China. the drug cartels are having problems in respect to banking, and degradation of assets. NATO is looking at having to pull its own weight. Cuba might be free in time for July 4th. Dems are on the back foot. And the Iranians don’t have a nuke, or a dirty bomb. aside from those minor maters; he’s the worst president ever.//

      Cuba is already a sovereign Nation ergo free.
      If you mean free from external financial atatcks
      Free from US Blockades
      
      Maybe.
      
      But prey tell me what would be the regime(presumably replacing the current one) that you assune will mean Cuba is free?
      
      Like Iran, there is no observable plan. Just theatrics from the US Dictator. Who at one stage floated the idea that he would become governor of Cuba.
      
      Oh Venezuala you say, now its free after Maduro.
      
      Nope. Same structures just a new Maduro lookalike.
      Yep hows that going.
      
      Hundreds of political prisoners are still held, and draconian laws criminalizing free speech and NGOs remain active. The promised free and fair presidential elections have yet to be scheduled.
      
      Prices and inflation surged after the Kidnapping. So average Citizens are worse off. Extreme poverty numbers rising.
      
      Venezuela currently looks less like a budding democracy and more like the “State Capitalism” model mentioned in the Cuban scenarios. The authoritarian system adapted to survive without its figurehead by instantly giving Washington exactly what it wanted: cheap oil, American corporate access, and the eviction of Russian and Chinese strategic dominance.

  The “Thucydides Trap” sounds alluring on the surface, but you need to consider the counter-factual.
  
  Allison’s theory is that when you have an established power and a rising power they will almost inevitably go to war with each other (hot or cold war). And so it is “healthier” if the established power can accommodate the rising power by yielding some of its own standing to the rising power.
  
  Maybe.
  
  It did work with the British Empire declining as the American empire (small e) was rising. But Britain had been beaten down so much by two World Wars it wasn’t in a position to protect its standing. And the American & British value systems were so similar there was little to fight over.
  
  But if you consider the US and China through Allison’s eyes … what accommodations should the US make? How would that work in practice? Would it be sufficient to avoid war? Or just push the war down to China vs Korea/Taiwan/Japan etc? Because the conflict isn’t due to two large countries facing off, it’s due to two entrenched value systems facing off … and that’s not easy to accommodate.

    Yes, you’re right. I was surprised to hear Zhi mention it. During the Cold War; America relied on cheap consumer goods from Japan, and Hong Kong to keep the taxpayers at home happy despite big defence budgets. Japan got a huge market, and a good standard of living. China has done well out of Joe and Jane six pack buying cheap consumer goods from Walmart.

Apocalyptic climate-change predictions were box-office gold for Hollywood but they did untold damage to the public psyche, economy and the average man’s pocketbook.
Now the United Nations’ influential climate change committee has quietly discarded the dire temperature-rise scenarios used in two previous reports predicting horrific consequences of global warming if greenhouse emissions weren’t curbed.
For years, lefty outfits — based on dubious climate science — screamed about the coming climate catastrophe: The New York Times warned that “Climate Change Is Harming The Planet Faster Than We Can Adapt,” “Climate Change Is Speeding Toward Catastrophe” and “A Hotter Future Is Certain.” [Here is the neccessary extra political cover for small countries to zero their ‘climate change’ budgets. President Trump leaving the Paris Accord meant ‘climate change’ is a goner anyhow. ‘Global warming’ is going the same way as ‘global cooling’ did in the 80s.]

Thursday 21 May 1840, Governor William Hobson proclaimed British sovereignty over all of New Zealand, according to the Times this morning, in London where it is yesterday still. According to the Waitangi Tribunal and assorted Maori activists, you can’t believe everything you read in newspapers.

    Exactly .
    
    The role of the NZ Company , leading/pioneering the development of this colony is always downplayed.( for the sake of simplicity ?)
    
    The reason Hobson was sent out here is because he was literally sent chasing the Wakefield’s ship Tory so as the chiefs would n’t make separeate deals with the NZ company .
    
    That is the true key to the treaty of Waitangi .
    Sovereignty under the Crown and article 2 , only the Crown to control land sales ie not the NZ Company.

Ani O’Brien reports our Minister for Women, Nicola Grigg’s contribution in parliament yesterday was “bereft of leadership and appeared to be self-conscious political distancing.” My message to all our MPs in parliament, but especially Nicola Grigg and the National Party:

Dear MPs

In Australia, in 2026, the law says “no”. Women in Australia cannot say no to men who say they are women. They can’t have single sex spaces, single sex services, and they can’t have single sex sport. That’s largely due to Julia Gillard and the Australian Labour Party removing ‘sex’ from their Sex Discrimination Act back in 2013. Just let that sink in. A woman, a self-identifying feminist, gave away other women’s rights

The delusion that we can ‘change sex’ and the delusion that we can do this to children (debunked by a growing number of medical studies and the growing number of detransitioners, and the subsequent massive lawsuits), without consequences, should give you pause for thought.

That almost all of the children going through this were and are just same sex attracted should give you pause for thought.

That the hard-won rights our mothers and grandmothers fought for over the last 100 years are being given away to what is essentially a new ‘men’s rights movement’ should give you pause for thought.

Don’t be New Zealand’s Julia Gillard, Nicola Grigg. Because there will come a time when everyone who said men can become women and we can ‘change’ sex will deny they ever thought or said that. Because in a modern, decent democratic society, this won’t be acceptable.

For all you National MPs and for you, Prime Minister Luxon, I hope you are all paying attention. This is one big reason why many New Zealanders are turning away from your party and voting for ACT and NZ First.

I have a wife, and I have a daughter. These are not your rights to give away; they are theirs to keep.

The once-Royal New Zealand Herald is running a straw pole with Shayne Currie’s Media column about who should or could replace Maiki Sherman as TVNZ’s political editor.
The front-runner appears to be Jack Tame, who, according to Mr Currie, is respected in the media world for his interviewing skills – ‘best TV interviewer’ – neutrality and balance.
Etcetera.
Until Young Jack went overseas I regarded him as the best TV journalist of his half-generation.
He was an excellent story-teller.
Going overseas seemed to have broadened his horizons, and there’s nothing wrong with that.
But, like Kim Hill, if he likes you or your politics or your world view, you get treated a lot more gently than not.
I think it has taken the start-up of the likes of The Platform and other alternative media, and other commentators such as The Anglo-Saxon who produces videos for YouTube, to highlight what our media, TVNZ, and Young Jack don’t or won’t touch.
Thus the Maori activists and their pale – or paler – sycophants served up a version of the Treaty of Waitangi that for years was not questioned.
TVNZ has decided to take a stance, and without telling us.
TVNZ’s CEO blithely told Heather du Plessis-Allan that ‘there’s no bias in TVNZ’.
She’s either a liar or she’s deluded.
Some of the hacks like to write that what got Maiki Sherman sacked had happened almost a year earlier.
It is ironic that they all piled in ‘me too, me too’ on a National Party MP for something he’d done 23 years earlier – when he was 16.
As the Apostle Paul wrote: ‘I am not that man now’, the same could be said of Sam Uffindell.
Twenty-three years, you hacks, 23 years.

        Fair point. There is no evidence that Matt Doocey worked at the Tavistock clinic. However, we have not banned puberty blockers in New Zealand yet. The decision has been referred for a judicial review.
        
        KC DEBORAH CHAMBERS writes in The Herald: The trans issue highlights deeper failures: The marginalisation of ordinary citizens’ views in favour of well-organised interest groups, and the willingness of public bodies to prioritise feelings and activism over objective evidence. The readiness with which these drugs were prescribed is now recognised as one of the most troubling medical scandals of our time. It was sustained by the silencing of dissent and an unforgiving demand for conformity. When debate is curtailed, poor policies take root with alarming speed. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/puberty-blockers-ban-judicial-review-and-political-decisions-deborah-chambers/premium/BWN4EPOTYRENTFUXP7M3KM3HC4/?

        He’s the Minister for Mental Health and Associate Minister of Health, and has professional experience in the mental health field.
        
        As you suggest, Ghost, the Coalition, presumably with his participation, made decisions on this contentious subject.
        
        Are we to take it that the Minister supports the Cass report? Surely the Cabinet would have regarded his personal views as worth taking into consideration.

      I actually listed what his area was, you do realize right how large it is, how many staff and all the different areas they treat. It’s rather moronic to blame a man or even link him with work he wasn’t involved in. Do you blame and orthopedic surgeon for the hospital dentist pulling out the wrong tooth? Because that is how moronic it is to blame a man for something he wasn’t even involved in Gender Identity Development Service, yet some are so stupid they want to blame him for a clinic he had zero involvement with.

Opposition among Americans grows to AI data centres.

Robert Bryce’s substack reports that 789 data centres are being built in the US, but public opposition is surging.

In “commencement speeches” at colleges and universities audiences have booed prominent speakers. Tech billionaire Eric Schmidt, former chief executive of Google, was booed whenever he mentioned “AI” in his speech at the University of Arizona.

Bryce gives ten reasons for rising opposition, starting with a revolt against the “lanyard class”. The term was coined by Maurice Glasman, a member of the House of Lords, to describe the “modern professional-managerial elite.”

People are worried about AI effects on jobs, the effect on their own power bills, and about water (the AI centres use large amount of water for cooling).

Meanwhile, the $2.5 billion Southland Data Centre project, which includes laying data cables to Australia, seems to be brewing in the background. (Cost figures in media seem to vary between $2m and $3.5m,)

Bryce also runs a database of rejections of data centres:

According to the latest Curia polling:

42 % of Labour, 48% of Greens and 41% of Te Pati Māori voters support defining women and men in biological terms.

21% of Labour. 34% of Green and 25% oppose the idea.

Most National, ACT, and NZ First voters clearly support it.

Overall, 51% support the idea and only 19% oppose it.

Something for our politicians to think about.

To most New Zealanders, it is self-evident – a woman is an adult human female, and a man is an adult human male.

  I wonder if Dr Mengele formulated the ‘fountain of youth’ injections ’cause he’s looking bloody good for his age. He never really did suit the ‘tache, good to see he’s shaved it off.

I have seen reports from the Taxpayers’ Union that have been exceedingly critical, in a most unfair manner, of Waikato Regional councillor Robbie Cookson.
Robbie and his mate pointed it out to me over drinks last night. Robbie was incensed that the Taxpayers’ Union had not viewed the video tape of the Council’s meeting where he carefully laid out the stringent conditions that he required before he would vote for a measure that was contrary to what Robbie campaigned on.
I believe the Taxpayers’ Union have defaecated in their own nest over this matter and owe Robbie Cookson an apology. This is an unfortunate matter as the Taxpayers’ Union are usually so good.

This week’s example of yet another Asian import ripping-off a fellow Asian import. They just can’t stop doing it. It’s in their blood.

“Fine dining” , that is debatable, but what is NOT debatable is that these people are utterly crap businessmen. And utterly crap people.

I have no sympathy for these leeches: the ones who live their exalted lives, rubbing shoulders with the the wealthy and notable, making a name for themselves but at the same time ripping-off their creditors and especially the IRD because they are oblivious to normal behaviour.

  Bit silly. At the end of the day no matter what they are called if you need their service you need them. But it’s ok, there are other racists here who will support your silliness
