This goes for indie publishers as well! Buy books Write reviews (or even just star ratings) Tell people about the stories you've loved or are excited for* *online & in person! Request them through your library Ask your local bookshops to order them Word of mouth makes a huge difference for us.

"Indies will save us" No! YOU WILL SAVE INDIES! Go leave a review for that neat indie game you like, share the trailer for an upcoming game you're anticipating, tell your fave developer they did a good job, go tell people about such and such game that's just come out, you can make a difference!

Unemployment is the worst since 2015 (under John Key). In Sept 2023 it was 3.9%; now it is 5.6%! Even at the height of the COVID pandemic, unemployment wasn't as bad. This coalition has made things worse for Kiwis. They are bad economic managers. #nzpol #votethemout www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
