Reality or excuses? This has been a vindictive government that realised it doesn’t get many votes in Wellington and targeted Wellington for lay offs.
And this is some time after Sir John told us Wellington was a dying city.
It’s the same all over- music, hospitality, and other luxury lifestyle goods are down.
When the club started out it was mostly economic good times, with the prospect of more in the future, propped up as it was by immigration and the housing market. Outside the housing market there was no inflation for 20 years that we talked about and the housing market was a one way slot machine for those involved.
Now Fonterra is bailing out of its brands, we are desperately trawling for oil and gas we can’t find while ignoring our responsibilities by treaty to avoid severe climate change, dumping responsibilities on councils and then blaming them for not being able to fix water systems without cash. We’re about to give up on flood, landslip and storm victims cos they cost a bit much. And earthquake ones too. Can’t afford it so that lot is cut loose.
What’s Fonterra’s excuse? It can’t make money selling cheese in New Zealand?
Even now a rural connecting road out may be out for a year or more.
It’s a bit harder to find a football party amongst all that.
We had a point when a blockbuster a year was dropping at Christmas, fresh from Wellington to the world. Fun times. Exciting times.
All we got to look forward to now is higher healthcare and super. Or a bunch of cut loose poor old people without houses, being kicked by a smug property class.
Not much of the city feeding into the football now.
If you have a limited and decreasing market it’s a hard sell.
