Is that tragic optimism? New Zealand, are you ok over there? I guess we'll never know.

No. We're not.

Our current ultra (for us) right wing government is busy pillaging the country to line thier own and their cronies' pockets.

Hey at least the landlords got their tax cut tho right.

That's not actually one that pissess me off: specifically interest deductibility.

Demanding cost cuts from health, education, disabilities support, "cracking down on beneficiaries" and generally shitting all over the most vulnerable members of our society... Just to build a few more kilometres of motorways and "celebrate our most successful" with tax cuts.
