| 710681 | 2008-10-08 03:20:00 | That's what Statistics NZ (I think) say is the average wage - I think also $75k is the average household income. Once you factor in working for families and my salary I think we're on around the average household income... its still a big struggle - I would hate to think what its like for people earning less than the average wage (I'm on higher than average wage).

| 710684 | 2008-10-08 03:54:00 | In Wellington that's actually probably a bit low. I've just come out of Uni, and would only be earning a little shy of that if I were working full time. I can imagine that in smaller centers it's a fair bit harder though. And ECE doesn't pay nearly what it should do. You are looking after the most precious things in a lot of peoples lives, and should be paid accordingly. |

LOL.....what a wind-up merchant....how much worse can it get, Labour have bled us for 9yrs with some of the highest taxes in the world, just so they could trip feed us what they think we need, create more bureaucracy and leave the coffers empty for the next government. FYI, 75+% of those ordinary people are small business |

| 710686 | 2008-10-08 04:26:00 | Plenty of low paying jobs in Wellington, thousands upon thousands upon thousands of them. No worries though, as long as The Government takes its cake and eats it too, then its all good. |

Easy to administer, very fair, and you'll know exactly how much you'll get if you work extra hours.

There is no mention of it, but I am sure it is being looked at . |
