Or maybe New Zealanders are shocked and angry at the racist arrogance, the belligerent fascism and the blatant pandering to rich donors and party "faithful" like Joyce, Bridges and now Bennett. Maybe they're sick of being lied to by an empty windbag who still hasn't stopped whining about everything being Labour's fault. And maybe they're totally pissed off by meaningless pointless policy statements created by social media influences and constantly platformed by sycophantic media. Claire Trevett? Luke Malpass? Brad Olsen? Tell us you're another right wing media shill without telling us Spinoff 🙄

👏💯 & as I keep pointing out, THE MAJORITY of voters did NOT vote for much of what is being done/planned. A few voted for Act, a few Voted for Winston, quite a few (but not a majority) voted for National, & the rest voted for parties with heart & empathy & a focus on ALL NZers & not the privileged few. So having extreme Act & NZ 1st policies imposed due to coalition bullying, is bound to pi$$ a lot of people off, in addition to Mr "I used to run an airline" talking to us as if we are stats not people, & in business rather than common language 😡

Re: drivers tests. In Wellington you can not book a restricted test for the rest of the year, in Nelson it’s a 4 month wait.. so not sure how anyone gets to a ‘53 day average’ wait time. It’s an absolute debacle.

If you continually talk down a triple A economy and generally put the fear of god in the general populace by cutting social services and other good shit that people benefit from, then it’s no surprise, is it? And if you put a hold on infrastructure projects, then it’s also no surprise that workers in that segment head west and business sentiment takes a nose dive.
