wow! not to sure how you can claim that... I could flood the site with a mountain of academic research showing you claim is wrong... eg https://www.msd.govt.nz/about-msd-and-our-work/publications-resources/monitoring/household-incomes/ Max Rashbrooke has written widely on the topic... Stats NZ has a ton of stats negating your claim... B Easton Vic uni has covered the topic in depth.. CTU's Bill Rosenberg covers it in By Bill Rosenberg A new study, “Shrinking portions to low and middle-income earners: Inequality in Wages and Self-Employment 1998-2015” shows rising inequality in the hourly rates of gross earnings (before tax and benefits) among both wage and salary earners and the self-employed over the period 1998-201 I've tried to post some graphs without luck.. And on top of all that the Tab has over the years spent a massive amount of time propagating bet types that have massive 'betting take outs'.. eg Quin 25% etc.. leading to less and less churn... sigh...

from the link provided : "I asked the CEO of NZ Greyhound Racing what this change was all about. He refused to comment for commercial sensitivity reasons." Yeah Right!

Annette King/Winnie delivered the tax breaks on betting (and tax write offs for the well to do)... there have been a scary amount of Ministers in the roll, starting with Fallon... But the main reasons it's a Sunset Industry is 'the % of disposable income (in real terms) has gone down for the majority of Nzers' during the last 30+ years -the neoliberal period - on top of that it has been a Industry that has SHIT on so many of its customers.. a good example being Riccarton charging $15 for public entrance when there was NOTHING undercover!! Total Rip Off! my tragic! is! I fecking actually care!

good to see he has dropped 30kgs...

if you look at this century! it was Lab/nzf who brought in the tax changers etc... if you look at any board be in nztr or nzrb the are ALWAYS dominated totally by tory types! tell me one person that has ever had a organic connection to organised labour! re Labour today! very much tory lite! most mp could move over to Nats and be at home! you do know who started ACT...

what odd$ are you offering on that! ?

'common sense' Good Sense trumps that every time! anyway! NOTHING can save a Sunset Industry! BTW, A Industry that has been ruled by Torie Twits forever....

groundhog day....

would it be true to say that black type races are run and won in faster times?
