#nzpol Please, please, remember none of these 'policies' are worth the (electronic) paper they are written on, and/or the air they are announced on😡. Many will be ditched post-election during coalition negotiations where all will be 'on the table'. Remember last time. Learn from last time🙏🏾. 🤔🙁😠😡

Health Minister Simeon Brown responded to Ingrid Hipkiss on Morning Report today over health concerns. He mentioned Labour 14 times in a 13 minute interview. When does blaming/comparing the last government stop? Two years? Never?
CHA Hub (Community Housing Aotearoa) on YouTube has lots of Deep Dive thoughtful interviews around an hour: Bernard Hickey, Max Rashbrooke, Kieran McAnulty, Tamatha Paul, etc. I've watched Bernard. Now I'm about to listen to Max. All interviewed recently. Highly recommended.
I've seen a real uptick in self-sufficient prepper content on social media. I want to remind folks that toxic individualism won't save us. Not from Tr*mp's manufactured food crisis and not from climate change. Community interdependence is the way out of this. We save us. Together.
Is it time to start hoarding food?

The Coalition Govt will tax Aucklanders $5 billion to pay for the infrastructure to support the fast track housing developments for National Party donors. We pay so National's donors can get richer. Then we'll pay again to bail them out when they flood.
