In his speech to the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, he called on doctors to call off their strike and put patients before politics.

This is the rapist demanding that the child he is raping stop struggling.

In case you miss the analogy Simeon Brown is the rapist in this analogy. He is raping the health system and they are struggling to throw him off of them.

"Taxpayers’ Union chief executive Jordan Williams said the results were “alarming”.

Taxpayers Union alarmed that their relentless spewing of hateful rhetoric and incitement is working!

NACT blamed the greens and protesters who opposed the Israeli genocide for this. Is there going to be any consequences of their violent rhetoric towards muslims and people who believe Palestinians are human beings?

Nobody is claiming everybody learns the same way. What we are saying is that our educational system should be structured to help the vast majority of the students and not crippled in a way to help the extremely small minority.

Like it or not your child will be exposed to Maori words and names. Hell if your town name isn't a Maori word there are streets and neighbourhoods that are.

This racist government and this racist MP want to erase Maori identity and want to shelter children from Maori words because they see Maoridom as a form of evil to be avoided or destroyed.

Do you think the difficulties your child experiences should effect what we teach all children and how?

Oh no. She broke decorum. How dare she! I guess to you guys decorum is more important than lives and suffering of actual real human beings.

Housing is expensive, opportunities are disappearing, healthcare and education are being hollowed out.

This country is doomed but we have nobody to blame but ourselves. We voted for these bozos.

At least the trans people will not be allowed to poop in the bathroom they are presenting as so I guess that's something. We are going to show those trans people who is who and where they belong.

The Chinese and the Russians did it, the EU dropped the ball and trusted the US like fools.

Now they have to build their own search, maps, productivity and social media platforms.

Good news. They can use open source stuff.

But they won’t

That's such bullshit. There are no jewish children afraid to go outside in New Zealand. But you can bet your ass there are Lebanese, Syrian, and Palestinian, Ukranian children that are afraid to go outside.

There is lots of racism in NZ but it's mostly targeted at Maori, Chinese, and Indians (both Fijian and from India). If you are not one of those groups you should be mostly OK. I haven't seen too much hostility towards trans people so you should also be OK in that regard.

Be aware though, this is not an easy place to live. It's expensive as hell here and you'll be shocked at how much you are paying for food, utilities, rent and every day goods like clothes and electronics.

I have talked to countless expats and the number one thing they complain about is how impossible it is to make friends here. Kiwis are polite enough and nice enough for superficial interactions but they won't let you in their inner circles and become friends. Most expats are friends with other expats although not necessarily from the same country. Since you are in a marginal community I think this will be less of a problem for you. I presume the LGBTQ community will be more willing to embrace expats.

Having said all that I still think this is a great place to live. Just go into it with open eyes. Prepare well, bring in a shit ton of money and all your goods. You will regret not bringing something when you try to replace it and it costs triple what you paid for it.

Luxon, who owns rental properties himself, was asked if he intended to lower rents on those properties.

"It's not about me. It's actually about a policy and I don't benefit from this policy."
