    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
