      Dairy won't do it... We can prioritize luxury tourism, but locals need to change their frankly racist, xenophobic perspective to make it work... And I don't want NZ to just become a big Queenstown! 🤮
      It's tough!
      Agriculture and beautiful landscape are underrated, economically. Money isn't everything, mind you.

      Ah, if you go to Stats NZ. Domestic inflation was 4.85%, and food inflation 10.4%. Petrol went down 8%. It was always wordwide inflation. This was predicted. Treasury predicted weak growth, but National took that and drove the economy into the ditch. The cost of the ferry shambles is still to be felt.

      It’s more about the USD going up than the NZD going down. We don’t have any control over that. Expect the USD to keep going up for a while yet, then some point it will go down very quickly. That’s when you need to panic. Also remember that a low dollar is good for our exports which is good for our economy ultimately.

      Overpriced housing ? The houses are based on what a foreigner can buy one for. A indigenous kiwi (work here all life paying taxes) cannot afford current foreign pricing. Foreigners never contributed to the utilities that built our country for our children, they sponge off what history built, and that is why a long term kiwi, or child cannot compete in a world market. NZ has sold out to the highest bidders, and the country will go downhill. simple.

    Spending is what got us into this hole, combined with excessive tax closing smaller businesses down. As a small business owner I can assure you that after all our expenses and taxes we keep less than 10% of the turnover. Would be easier just to go work for the government and earn the same for doing much less. However that is what happened in places like Greece where school leavers only had one ambition go work for the state as Police, nurse, teacher or some other government job. Eventually nobody is earning any money for the country and the house of cards comes crashing down.

      It's actually because hundreds of thousands of people splurged on housing in 2020-2021 pushing house prices and rents up like crazy. Yes, the government spent more; what did you want , mass unemployment, thousands of business failures? We have a structural problem in our economy, where we overweeningly invest in housing for gain, because of favourable conditions . Those need to be reduced and investment in business favoured instead. The current government has done the opposite by giving huge tax breaks to landlords and cutting investment in infrastructure.
