Check out botany, in auckland, any day of the week between 6.30am-7.oopm...Monday to Sunday... Try to count the numbers of Chinese workers on those sites.... most of them are on three month work visas... The ones you see will be the replacement crew, who replaced the last crew, ad infinitum.... Then try to spot any obvious kiwis.... no no...keep looking, you'll spot one soon... Too late jack, ….

Unfortunately John Key and his tory cronies don't realise that it is a symbiotic relationship between bosses and workers in order to keep an economy moving and growing. Soon we will be importing Chinese workers to do the work as they will work for less per day than Kiwi workers. John Key School of Economics free market economy. However the wealth transfer continues from the have nots to the haves.

I despair of the seemingly large group of people that insist on spouting ignorant bigotry that hasn't a shred of relevance to the real world, and the role unions played in creating a prosperous, egalitarian society that made new zealand the envy of the world... Is it just me, or is it that obvious just how lacking in understanding tories are when it comes to realising just how badly they are cutting off their noses to spite their faces...once working people have been successfully emasculated, watch just how fast the country will disappear from under us... your money won't save you then, and your children will have left for a real life overseas...permanently.. Earth to tory dreamers... without the unions, this country would never have been able to take it's place in the first world.... And, we would have been much better placed now if the tories hadn't spent their entire existence trying to eradicate them, by mainly foul means...while skimming off the wealth created by a workforce earning enough to live with dignity... Respect is a word that seems to have bypassed the national party, especially when it comes to those "salt of the earth" people who used to be the backbone of our wealth creation successes..... It seems that now, the only people deserving of respect are the most successful bludgers in society... the ones skimming off billions of dollars that could have been put to better use rebalancing the inequities being forced on us now... Yea that's right it's really the fault of those "nasty unions", and that "nasty labour party" for the banking sector using nz's treasury as their own personal piggy bank.... and even more so for letting private contractors make easy profit from what used to be regarded as part, and parcel of good governance.. Yea..... the nats didn't do ANY of that, did they.... “those awful trade unions”…. spoken like a true ignoramus….

Comment utterly irrelevant to the post. Try to follow the discussion. It's about the total inexperience and lack of social awareness of the leader of a self-purchased political "party" that the John Key govt may have to cuddle up to in two years time, in order to retain power. @ Allyson.
