    How can you say quality is better when they live in boxes and pollution is a large problem.

    Life for everyone from millionaires to an actual worker is simply much better in NZ, europe and US.

    I can be an arrogant prick at times, but I try hard to get over myself and keep it under control. You should too.

    So your "rules" are that everyone should quote the posts they are replying to. Some do, some don't, some do sometimes, so I don't think we have any broad consensus on the"rules". This is not the first time you have complained about this. It might be easier to simply unblock the people you have put on "ignore".

    Pollution in Korea?

    Have you actually been to Korea?

    As for boxes, they don’t have tens of thousands of people living in the streets and in emergency housing along with 24,000 (200% more than
    2017 and growing) on the housing waiting list like in NZ under Cindy’s affordable housing election promise.

    Freaking Cindy & her nincompoops could not even manage to build 5% of the 100,000 houses promised under Kiwibuild. Monumental FAIL.

    Over 10 fold increase in unpaid rents under Cindy’s state housing policies.

    And she said yesterday that her government is not wasteful in spending taxpayers’ funds. She obviously forgot about the $56m spent on the brain dead Auckland cycle bridge proposal, $120m marae upgrade program, $65m Pike ‘bring the boys home’ River (not) and $360m special allocation to Maori vaccination program.

    Then, there’s the $2.7m to teach the Mongrel Mob how to be better drug dealers.

    National has overtaken Labour in a TV poll for the first time since the start of the pandemic.

    Momentum is all with National while Clueless Cindy looks like she just swallowed some of her own BS and it's spinning in her mouth?

    That is a massive shift in just four months. And once a new leader gets momentum, it tends to snowball as Ardern herself knows. People like to back a winner.

    The breakdown of how people voted in that question contained a number that should worry Labour: Luxon had won Auckland. Fifty-one per cent of those in the key battleground of the biggest city had chosen Luxon.

    The other worrying thing for Labour is that while Luxon's early ground came from taking votes back from Act, National is now eating into Labour's support as well. The National-Act grouping were a smidgen ahead of the Labour-Green grouping.

    In the latest TV1 poll, Labour leader Jacinda Ardern is down 1 point to 34 per cent, almost half of the 62% she enjoyed in 2020.



    Most NZers are now waking up to what kind of leader she really is.
