NZ Politics

Looking forward to public services being asked to do more, but not receive any more funding. Stretching them thinner, and making them shittier.

Looking forward to a “restoration of law and order” incarcerating more people, separating families and causing more crime. While not addressing the problems that caused the crime in the first place.

Looking forward to the RBNZ being told to lower interest rates and artificially inflating property prices; making it harder for young families to buy in the communities they live and work in, and increasing the cost of living for every day people as they’re strangled by landlords.

Looking forward to dying from heatstroke in 50 years time from global warming due to increased and prolonged reliance on fossil fuels.

Average price of a moldy, rat-infested house going from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000NZD.

Good for people who own property I guess, including my future self. But I want nothing to do with this corruption. Time to shop for other potential countries to be a citizen of.

so they must be seeing something positive there

I'm not so sure about that compared to just being "not Labour".

Labour showed this term that they're merely interested in maintaining the status quo and that all the progressive policies in the previous term came from the Greens and NZF.

So much doom and gloom in this thread, it's brilliant.
