Aussie is just complaining about Kiwi’s that keep moving over there. But they should not complain as it increases their IQ. We spend the money on training people then Aussie benefits after they move there. Very few come back the other way.

There are no US bases in NZ – Other than the embassy in Wellington and the United States Antarctic Program (USAP) crew down in CHCH.

NZ anti nuclear policy against the US still stands – no nuclear US naval ships allowed in NZ ports.

As for hollywood – some of the US film workers here in NZ might have to go back if there is not much work on as some of the film projects come to an end.

You’re onto something here Max about the market-specialists.

Max,

According to Lindsey Williams the stock market will continue to rise and set new records in the near future as money continues to be laundered into the stock market. Hence, expect the market to continue to go up next year until the elite finally crash it some time afterwards, within 2 years.

Housing starts fall 11%

They’re blaming it on the perceived threat of an expiration of the $8,000 subsidy. Except nobody really thought they were going to let the subsidy expire. Maybe there is just nobody left who can afford a house?

It’s sad because around here in NY people have started buying houses that have been sitting for a year, thinking the bottom has formed. They’re all speculating. If this is the recovery that they’ve been hoping for all summer, it’s pitiful.

Crazy the way the GBP is holding .. should be stone dead by now.

@Phil:
GBP is in the dollar/euro/loonie/krona/yen basket. Can’t die alone. It’s part of the clan.

Aussie lady was great, btw.

@ Stacy – It’s pretty infrequent that I can’t hear him well. Just figured I’d mention it since you asked.

@ Supergeek – Cheers for the tune. I did a little jig listening to it while grabbing some more coffee. Speaking of coffee, peeps in the US should know that before long, our sugar is going to be made from Monsanto’s GMO sugarbeets. :-\

Hi Max and Stacey, we’re still loving the show here in Hackney.
We’d like to come to the studio for the live show in December… how do we get onto the list?

Phil
The one thing that shocks me is the fact that the £ has NOT crashed…..Yet.

I think “Somebody” thinks Gordon still has work to do…….if they allow the £ crash the “Project” is over.

I have just come back from New Zealand south island having spent 2 weeks there. I know Max and Stacey talk about moving over. The scenery is spectacular in Fiordland, parts of Southland, Central Otago and Christchurch is a lovely city.

The cost of living is very expensive though especially food and groceries. I mean basic food stuffs which are produced locally in abundance like milk, cheese and fish seem to have a very high price like 1 1/2 to 2 times UK prices. Maybe the weak £ is a factor byt locals have mentioned the prices going up alot in the last few years.

Also planning permission is impossible to get now in many areas and housing is very expensive. Also there is a high suicide rate and few jobs for the young.

Still a last wilderness and the healthcare is good as I needed it and used it and it is all free at point of access.
