This is getting beyond belief; apparently, working perople are getting Far Too Much Money to suit this govt & its friends. Blatant greed is deeply unattractive.
These people appear to intend to take us all back to a time of serfdom; they are a disgrace to humanity.
Nicola Willis wants to axe around a third of 71 rules which agencies must follow when tendering contracts, including paying thre living wage in cleaning, catering & security guard services.
It seems they'd prefer more homeless people; because given that people are struggling now on a low wage, this could mean that the choice between paying their too high rent & actually being able to eat will become even worse.
We have to make this lot of conscience free greeders a one term govt.

These days there is only one thing we have surplus of, thus it has gone down in value, can you guess, of course, human beings.
WE as a group in the World are way over populated, not in NZ but as usual NZ politicians seem unable to separate themselves from overseas thinking and plan for NZ.,
they are just following what they pick up from overseas news.
In their efforts to seem current and ahead of the game they are going way astray of what is required for NZ and instead adopting attitudes held in bigger countries with vastly different problems even acting as if the problems overseas are actually pertinent to NZ.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

They don't seem too bothered - as long as they & their wealthy mates are doing OK.
