Maybe many of those businesses have gone under and are no longer operating. Yes they should have notified Inland revenue, but they may not have known so that's OK (at least it is per new MP's who haven't declared as they are meant to, so that should go across all aspects of life here).
Aside from the above at a guess we will never hear of any company or person being taken to court for these unpaid items, so i expect deals will be made. Unless of course that person happens to have annoyed someone in Govt and then it will be front page news.

Yet again, both parties showing why there are issues with our country. Situations like this should only be dealt with by independent bodies. no politician should be able to approve someone to go on work scheme. Only the independent body which should be given whatever criteria is necessary to make their decision.

Plenty people live in a high crime area, can they all get the job too? This seems like a position created for him, rather then having a position and seeing who would best fit it. Its basically giving money to the boys to keep them on side. This is exactly like the hiring of Mr. Archer, does nothing to help the country only the person involved.

So this letter writer is a medical professional and is unable to get a simple rapid Covid test? Don't think i would use him

So in order to make sure others are able to compete in the market the consumer must pay more? Strange thinking. What the Government should do is say we will get rid of price control and then you must show the decreases in prices as promised. If not we will bring it back.

EIA is a joke if a person can do stuff before he applies for an EIA. But anything goes over here and there is no changing that for a long time

I always thought most of that area was National Trust or protected. Also interesting that Mr. Collie was able to build the seawall before he has applied for the IEA. Surely it should be the other way around. But as with most things these rules and laws don't apply.

It seems some do not understand. It does not matter if the girl paid the guy for sex, she is underage and therefore it is statutory rape. There is no part of the law that says "this does not apply if the girl consents". In fact it explicitly says consent or not, so that doesn't matter. There is no excuse for a 40 year old to be sleeping with a 14 year old. The book should be thrown at him.

take it you fully support 15 year olds being able to drive if they act like they are older? The law says there is a cut off of when someone is old enough to do something, it is not for others to say different. Also the adult has a responsibility to do the adult thing and say no, or should he be treated as a kid because he can't make his own decisions.

the head of red cross receives a salary too, so cant use them per you. Congrats on making people think twice before helping next time.
