Good afternoon from a very warm HB - lot of cloud - rain seems to have gone but we needed it
Have been seemingly swimming against the tide for the last couple of weeks - our Ukrainians are heading to Oz - the immigration lawyer can have them all together over there by Christmas with the baker being allowed to bake . The immigration lawyer received notification from our govt that it could be 2 to 4 years before he can get back in the country to work -even though he had been working here for 18 months before he went home for 2 weeks to help the family move after they finally got a space in MIQ -then the war started.The family went down for a meeting with an MP - who has been referred to as a bully in the media - the school headmaster arranged the meeting - he was not interested that the job wasn’t just a baker but it was teaching kids from the local high school who were dropping out - many of these kids are so creative that baking gives them a real sense of purpose that learning history doesn’t - they absolutely thrived under him - he was used to having multiple apprentices - the MP wasn’t interested in the info from the parents of the kids - or that two kiwi bakers had tried with the kids but couldn’t do it - they didn’t lose their jobs for the Ukranian they are working in another part of the bakery -but the govt are not interested - told her they should never have tried to settle here - she can stay as a refugee - the kids are devastated but they want to be with their Dad .The immigration lawyer told her even Doctors are leaving because they can’t get their families in - one Canadian doctor who had been given a visa sent his belongings ahead of the family precovid - their containers full of all their belongings are here but his post covid visa still isn’t through - absolute madness - the baker was turning the lives of young people around - the MP claimed it was a money making scheme but the kids were being paid $25.74 an hour which is the normal starting rate - two of them are out at EIT doing apprenticeships purely because the baker let them blossom - yes kiwis come first in the job queue but there just aren’t enough kiwis
The latest thing from the jobseeker job applicants is to use the very worst swear word you can call a female interviewer so they ensure they don’t get offered a job and so remain on the benefit -
Alls not well with our world that’s for sure- but one thing is for sure my grandkids will be better for the experience
