I thought it was a deep Red & Green Party although I don’t think they disguise anything. If you are referencing a perceived appeal to certain ethnicities, maybe the Greens stand out in contrast to the major Parties (Labour included) who some may perceive as pandering to the older European land-owning Ascendancy.

I am not surprised that there is discontent within the Greens co-operation with this Labour government, that has overseen real wage purchasing power deterioration at the same as there have been inflating house prices and widening inequalities in household wealth.

Pay rises don’t keep up with inflation

The Greens aren't needed and could go into opposition if they like.

What about your lie about Luxon not paying any tax?

You have zero credibility on anything - resorting to lies as often as you do.

You sound a bit bitter about "the older European land-owning Ascendancy." That's not being very kind.....

There are no laws in NZ that stops a certain race from owning land, so what exactly is your point?

Oh, I forgot, you want to bring in laws that will give land ownership to one race..... that sound fair.....

A month before the delta outbreak in NZ, the government & country were warned that NZ was too complacent and asleep.

How true it proved to be.

NZ on the edge of disaster - July 28

It is hard not to feel that the Government and much of the country are somehow, incredibly, asleep at the wheel. Eighteen months into a deadly pandemic, we are balanced on the edge of a precipice and yet New Zealand seems to be blissfully unaware.

A recent public poll by the Government showed 44 per cent of us were "neutral" towards the country's Covid-19 situation and 75 per cent said the country was going in the right direction on the pandemic.

Is it the right direction that an important line of defence against another Covid-19 outbreak, our underpaid, overworked and exhausted nurses, are forced to go on strike to get decent pay?

The Government has borrowed billions to spend on anything it fancies, but nurses are told there is nothing left in the district health board piggy bank to pay them better. How does that work?

Has anyone noticed that Fortress New Zealand, our bastion against infection, has some huge holes in its crumbling walls?

A stubborn number of border workers have still not been inoculated. Months have passed and the Government has been reluctant to force them to do so because of its concerns about personal freedoms.

So more than six months ago Bill Ralston (that rabid left wing Jacinda loving Marxist??) told us we were on the edge of disaster.

But we currently have one of the lowest Covid death rates per 100,000 in the world

So your point is??

Which part of NZ being unprepared for the delta outbreak do you not get?

Which part of Auckland suffering through the long lockdown do you not get?

Which part of debt piling up at $1 billion a week do you not get?

NZ has so many natural advantages (an island, low population density) - all squandered by a complacent and incompetent government preoccupied with spin and divisive policies.
