@alexgamble4718 you know nothing. It is literally the ‘socialism’ that makes Australian wages so much higher. This being strongly ‘enterprise bargaining agreements’ in Australia. Y’know the thing Jacinda re-introduced to NZ as ‘fair pay agreements’, and that the currently in power right wing government wants to get rid of again. Another is the 11.5% on top of wages Super (aka ‘KiwiSaver’ in NZ, 401 for the Americans), all employer contribution, unlike the best scenario net zero on (3% employer, 3% employee) contributions in NZ.

@alexgamble4718 you know nothing. ‘Socialism’ is literally the reason why Australia has higher wages. That being enterprise bargaining agreements aka ‘fair pay agreements’ that Jacinda brought back after Muldoon got rid of them. Based on official Stats NZ statistics, this resulted in higher wage growth but your incoming government wants to get rid of them again. Also do you like 11.5% on top of wages, all employer contribution, towards your KiwiSaver like it is by default in Australia? - You voted on emotion and against your best interest didn’t you?

@alexgamble4718 you are clueless once again. An urban route bus driver gets paid 35% more *not including Super*, a first year Australian nurse or cop gets paid more than one with 5 years experience in New Zealand, I personally know a gal who is moving to Australia as she will get paid AU $114k + 11.5% Super/Kiwisaver (so converted in total NZ$139,000) vs the NZ $80k she was on (+ net zero KiwiSaver) She is in transport logistics. But go on pretending you know more than a person actually living in Australia like me 😂
