I'm getting so fucking tired of this government, and we aren't even 100 days in....sigh

This was like #1 priority for NZ First. And based on their newsletter emails they are very proud of getting this repealed.

I just don't understand why.

My guess would be because the Association that didn't want to be regulated pitched this as "they're coming to take away your arthritis supplements" not a way to avoid shit like the surgical mesh debacle or that hip implant scandal.

NZ First got a lot of new voters this past election. Do we understand much about their demographic? I'm wondering if there's a surge of anti-vaxxers or something like that voting for them.
