Yep, and that's where low wage economy comes into it. Minimum wage there.

And I tried, Bunnings wouldn't hire me. Too much IT or some BS

Hey......SIL drove the machines for road works for years.....she lost her job a few years ago, aged about 50something, not so much because she was 50something , but because she screwed up a couple of times, left one in gear or something, it rolled off and damaged some building...and then she mouthed off about it. Too many mouthing offs and she got fired.

But she did drive them for ages, all sorts of them.

1437720 2017-07-30 22:36:00 Exactly why that will have to change. The tired, disproven neoliberal rubbish this govt espouses is rapidly being seen for the smoke and mirrors it is.

I couldn't agree more, Karamea Dave. I wish more people would see that, but too many New Zealanders don't seem to want a fairer society.

Most of us dont want a society where lazy ****s can get money for doing nothing while we do the hard yards.

Yes. and working for subsistence wages.

It is bad news being made redundant over the age of 40.
Being made redundant over the age of 50, no matter what one's skills and education, you have retired if you were a manager, but be of good cheer,Bunnings and Mitre 10 may give you a job if you are lucky, which means you won't starve, just you are unlikely to live the good life again. Ageism is very much alive and practiced in New Zealand and in Australia.
