Gotta love that for some reason a bunch of people have voted against their best interests. Think it’s time to reevaluate giving people decisions about their lives.
I disagree- they voted in their short term interest with tax cuts and blaming labour for the state of things. Our country is lacking soo much, and this was people just wanting something to take the edge off now.
Take the edge of in what way ? Pretty short sighted if a couple months helps but then national policies kick in and things get markable worse. But who knows aye
Oh, it is shortsighted. But people can’t think about the future if they are struggling now and it is something we all do. 2k tax cut gives me something now, 100,000 homes in 10 years I have to wait for.
Which is probably why we are in this situation. We don’t look to the future. Gotta start thinking big picture. Planets fucked. Need some drastic changes or this is humanities end.
Im curious what way you voted - I didn’t vote any of the big 4 because their focus is the 3 year reelection (and act/green is effectively a lab/nat vote). Don’t need to answer, just speaking out loud and happy to see others are on the same page.
You don’t have to be a citizen to vote in NZ. Permanent resident (or resident visa) is enough. So long as you’re entitled to live here indefinetly (and have lived here at least 12 months), you can vote.
Labour - no. But pushing things in a direction can facilitate construction. I’ve been seeing huge number of subdivisions come in, rezoning and growth up but it takes time and the global situation has been kicking everyone’s ass and there is little any NZ govt can do about it.
I disagree, a lot of people seem to think having equal rights to any other NZer is in their best interests, and I think that’s a reasonable point of view.
Woo fucking hoo.

It does not end well.

Unfortunately when you are feeling that defeated $520 a year is absolutely worth it.

Unfortunately I’m eligible to vote( resident not citizen) but I would vote green.
Labour or green are an attack on national. Only way to fight national is to push up labour.
Two party systems are a big issue.
You don’t have to be a citizen to vote in NZ. Permanent resident (or resident visa) is enough. So long as you’re entitled to live here indefinetly (and have lived here at least 12 months), you can vote.
I checked and my visa level doesn’t allow me. I think mine is spousal. But we looked it up and I didn’t fit criteria. But I am permanent ?
I went TOP because I agree with alot of their future plans, and if they got in would hope they side with Labour - green was my second.
The big parties need to be reminded they aren’t NZ, and they aren’t guaranteed.
Do you actually think Labour would have built those houses?
Labour - no. But pushing things in a direction can facilitate construction. I’ve been seeing huge number of subdivisions come in, rezoning and growth up but it takes time and the global situation has been kicking everyone’s ass and there is little any NZ govt can do about it.
