Now this is a very interesting read, and I've just started (if you like this sort of stuff)
The comparison from then to now ... well read for yourselves.
Learning all about the percentages of beneficiaries (all levels) then and now, well I'd said not much has changed per capita.
Seeing the numbers from certain years, truly shows how the economy was or wasn't running dictated by events e.g. world wars.
It just shows that we really haven't learned a great deal over the years.
Just repeating or dressing up the same mistakes, when will we ever learn?
Anyway, for those who want to peruse though the yearbook, here's the link: www3.stats.govt.nz...

Will the Government and the Greens still pursue the resettlement of the 235 refugees from Nauru and PNG?

Danny from Titirangi

The Australian Government have refused to take the remaining 235 refugees from Nauru Island and PNG because they cannot verify their identities. If NZ were to accept them what position would that put us in not knowing who they were? Could we be admitting more extremists?

Photo 2: Freesia flowers.
Photo 3: Another daffodil, leaning against the fence with a slug in it you can't see. It got that way because I did the weeding a few days ago, and so the daffodil had nothing to prop it up. Some of the freesias are lying on the ground too, for the same reason.
Photo 4: Some more daffodils, little ones this time.
Photo 5: Red polyanthus.
Photo 6: Another little daffodil - standing up by itself, this time.
Photo 7: Blue daisies in my rose/geranium garden.
Photo 8: A couple of little swan plant flowers on one of my bushes! 😃

Photo 10: Some of my cyclamens I just had to take a photo of.
Photos 11 & 12: A bumblebee climbing into my broadbean flowers I just had to take a photo of because it was so cute and cool. 😃
