Poll: Are our Kiwi summer holidays helping us recharge, or holding the economy back? ☀️🥝
There’s growing debate about whether New Zealand’s extended Christmas break (and the slowdown that comes with it) affects productivity.
Tracy Watkins has weighed in ... now it’s your turn. What’s your take? 🤔

73.2% We work hard, we deserve a break!

15.7% Hmm, maybe?

11% Yes!
New Zealand?
Is this NZ or some alternative 3rd world reality? No lamb in any shop in Wgtn/NZ? at Christmas! Supermarkets have stopped selling even sliced lamb! I rang every supermarket, butchers and Mad Butcher. Most had none; some only shaved, tough old, shoulder chops needing 8 hours slow cooking. I was repeatedly told we cant get it! Some said its too dear to stock!
Next thing we know the supermarkets will be importing our lamb from UK at half the price.
Time to reinstate CARP? (campaign against rising prices)
Try to have a happy, alternative, Christmas.
