It is also safe to say that there is no competition between Africa and New Zealand. <br /><br />Also, one of my best friends is Maori and he is very well off - through hard work and determination. He would beg to differ with you but yes, working families, solo mums, differently abled people and our rangitahi will also find it difficult in other cities on this planet - probably more so than Auckland. <br /><br />We don't know how lucky we are :)Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640575074694480790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042472496525309106.post-6019219632013969542009-05-10T21:47:00.000+12:002009-05-10T21:47:00.000+12:00The Mercer survey only survey's quality of life is...The Mercer survey only survey's quality of life issues for white men working in finance/insurance/law/general big companies. <br /><br />It does not survey quality of life issues for working families, solo mums, differently abled people, our rangitahi, our elders.<br /><br />The Mercer survey is very very mis-leading.Christophernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042472496525309106.post-51718756264838449192009-05-08T12:04:00.000+12:002009-05-08T12:04:00.000+12:00Let's hope that the people at ACC don't re...Let's hope that the people at ACC don't rest on their laurels. What they actually need is a fire under their asses and ONE city council. Auckland is great for families, second to none, but do we want to become a huge nursery ? No ! Imagine how great Auckland will be if we combine a great family city with the likes of the creativity & sense of adventure that exists in Melbourne.<br /><br />We will definitely be NUMBER ONE !Sydneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01640575074694480790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8042472496525309106.post-62884306732759137412009-05-07T23:32:00.000+12:002009-05-07T23:32:00.000+12:00This survey only paints the picture for the suburb...This survey only paints the picture for the suburban lifestyle that Auckland is renowned for. Its kinda sad really because most of the Aucklanders will CONTINUE thinking they live in some sort of a paradise when again-it is nothing special at all. And it gives officials another excuse to do nothing yet again!Nnoreply@blogger.com
