Labour govt 2020-23

[Balance]

People are coming to realise that NZ has its own groundswell of deplorables.
Which is rather sad (referring to anti-vaxxers).

Deplorable indeed when a government protects criminals rather than law abiding citizens.

And so the truth comes out because it was outed in a court document :

McKenzie confirmed there was "absolutely" a policy not to evict antisocial or disruptive clients.

This is a government which empowers and emboldens criminals rather than protect law abiding citizens.

Disgusting, repugnant and totally Clueless Cindy.

Transparent - that’s what the Cindy promised.

Well, she has delivered COVID for Christmas but not transparency :

That is a bad misstep from Minister Nash. If it is anything like the previous ones, most who see the protest, in person or online, will recognise that many are the nation's
productive.

I heard him say this in parliament yesterday and thought "you silly silly man". But this seems to have become the only response from Government. Attack the messenger, like Hipkins stupidly did with Murray Bolton, which has backfired badly for the Government.

You couldn't pay me enough to live in Singapore though.

I suppose you never have tried ?

You are right. I haven't lived there. But I've been there a few times - maximum stay was probably a week. Can't wait to get out of the place. Too sterile for this kid. Makes Salt Lake City look exciting.

Couldn't pay me to live in america.

Well maybe in oregon behind a gated community with a tough looking crew to dissuade the "law abiding gun owners".

from todays Herald
"The Government cannot say what it would take for a Kāinga Ora tenant to get kicked out of one of its houses".
Apparently there have been no evictions for Three Years!

Oregon is a good place not to be. One of the best in fact.

Not sure about Salt Lake City, but I have been frequently to Singapore and guided by locals. I remember a very green city with amazing plant and animal life and (surprisingly) amazing nature parks and untouched wetlands. I have seen on my hikes over there (in free nature) beautiful birds, monkeys, large reptiles as well as snakes. Singapore has as well a quite nice beach as well as amazing cultural buildings and living quarters. Great orchestra, by the way.

I like the small and larger market places, the ethnic food ... and hey - yes the food in general is amazing over there ... but I guess this is something which might be less appealing to somebody with British roots. Just imagine ... fresh and well prepared food with real taste, no matter whether you like to eat Indian food, Malay food, Chinese food or even European specialities.

Pondering on that last paragraph ... I can now see why you don't like the town ;
