        It’s almost entirely the cost of living VS income, very little to do with politics.

        I don’t know how to describe how stupid leaving NZ for Australia because of politics would be.

          Are you implying that the economy is not a political issue? Who do you think makes the economic policy in NZ?

          Uhh. NZ has a right wing government that is attacking trans people and Maori.

          Australia is run by a center party, that on the whole is making social strides for the positive.

            For now, sure. They change PMs like they change underwear over there.

            And they treat their indigenous people very poorly.

              We don’t vote for PMs we vote for parties. And they change as frequently as in NZ.

              And my state recently signed an important treaty, meanwhile NZ is trying to alter its treaties and reneg on obligations.

              One is actively working to improve the lives of their indigenous, the other is trying to make it worse.

              And the current government are trying to do something about that

              NZ had always rested on its laurels about being a good society

              That is changing. Too many stupid, hateful cunts were happy to vote for Luxon

              I have whanau who voted for him, and I would be happy to never see them ever again
