@2ETEKA National/ACT doesn’t rule for the benefit of Kiwis…..they’re actively driving us abroad. They only care about the rich,esp foreign billionaires, & imported cheap ( National voting) foreign workers, to service the envisioned billionaire refuge/playground they are creating.

@carlworker I doubt Xi would hold such loyalty amongst the Chinese diaspora as we see with Modi……. which TBH is probably a healthier situation.

@matt_horncastle …what Matt’s simple mind is incapable of grasping is the Business generated by domestic Tourism on holiday weekends, every one of which is an economic boom for hospo’ & other enterprises, not to mention the events & myriad activities long weekends allow, all earners for NZ inc.

@matt_horncastle Matt nails in again. Next, hopefully, our hero will tackle the OpportunityCost of not allowing 5yr olds to climb up & clean chimneys….. has anyone worked the loss to NZs GDP that we suffer by not allowing Child Labour? And don’t even start me on Slavery.

@musenz @Daffwena Data Sovereignty, Energy Sovereignty, Food Sovereignty, & Taxation/Revenue Sovereignty….you earn money in NZ you pay Tax on it in NZ (yes you Uber, Amazon, Meta, Google). It’s ALL ABOUT SOVEREIGNTY!

@PronouncedHare Agree in principle with this….but I’m not sure it isn’t a Rightie own goal? It’d be interesting to see how recent immigrant votes land on the spectrum…..but my gut feeling would be Indian & Chinese arrivals lean rather Right?

@kidsbooksin140 @PronouncedHare Don’t be daft…..many NZers have lives straddling Aust/UK & beyond. Don’t judge others by your own small country existence.

The Right is never gonna be comfortable with an economy built on free shit that magically falls from the sky……. where’s the scarcity, where’s the profit…….free energy is practically Communist for f’ks sake. #solar

I'm Jewish, British & 64 All my life, I wondered how the Holocaust could have happened. I understood that Hitler & others were EVIL, but how did millions of ordinary people go along with it? NOW, seeing how so many in the West rationalise & defend the Gaza Genocide, I feel I have an answer and it is profoundly disturbing
