if I lose 2% (or whatever it is) of my gross pay
But if the policy package makes your pay go up further than that, why oppose the policy? You'd need to see the whole deal - much like the Nats tax switcheroo after the 2008 election.

Hard News: Diverse Auckland: are we…, in reply to jh,
The UK is vastly less diverse than NZ. Not sure what case it is you believe you're making.

I’m by no means convinced that a growing services industry is a particularly dynamic formula for growth. It’s still labouring.
Accountants and lawyers would probably agree. Consulting to the rest of the world is a better option. Not all services are as valuable.

Hard News: Spring Timing, in reply to Sofie Bribiesca,
Local miners will do the same as many others have done as the world has moved on – find a different type of work that’s viable and valuable, or shift to another place. How we support them in that transition is the question, but frankly there aren’t many of them anyway.

A lot of the value-add to farming over recent years has been from IT/communications investment and professional consultants in areas like livestock, soil/grass, finance and energy.
Food tech also has its place but more likely to be particular niches and high-value brand marketing, not big smokestacks that other countries will always do cheaper.
None of this is either/or – there will still be farms, trucks, workshops – but some areas of investment will produce better returns for this place and people than others over the next 10-20 years.
