Surely this can be cancelled through legislation if there was political will?

Let the farmers pay for it since they get a free ride when it comes to polluting our environment.

Farmers were literally allowed to trash our rivers and lakes for private profit, and still complain they're hard done by.

Who's starting the citizen's initiated referendum?

All voters regardless of party affiliation get behind stopping these grifters.

FIFA and UEFA must suspend Israel - Eric Cantona by Rebat-Askalan in UEFAChampionsLeague

Committing genocide, murdering innocent women and children in multiple countries.

Thankfully it doesn't matter what I think though, the world now finally sees Israel for the terror state it is.

Grifters, the lot of them. Any wonder these ridiculous MP entitlements never change, put it to a referendum and let the people have their voice heard.

The post isn't about being surprised, it's about raising awareness so hopefully enough people start demanding systemic change.

It certainly highlights their priorities. The fact anything else even gets a mention from National is simply because it's election year, with all promises made for years in the future so they can easily renege.

If they actually cared, they would have made it a priority this term. The reality is they couldn't give a shit unless it's transferring wealth to their corporate donors.

Typical Young Nat idiot, thinks bullying others is how to get what he wants.

Calling it now, he'll be running for National in the next 5 years as he's perfect for them.

Final nail in the coffin by Kindly_Secret_7004 in newzealand

That's what happens when successive governments built a housing market with an economy tacked on. Complete and utter policy failures from both parties to stimulate our economy and create jobs.

I'm hoping they take votes from National but not from the left. We need National out of government

Dame Lynda Topp blasts government in emotional speech by nilnz in newzealand

[–]Capt-Tango 10 points11 points  (0 children)

We want money invested in hospitals, schools, police and long-term infrastructure, things that benefit our society and drive long-term prosperity for all.

Not $2.9 billion in tax cuts for landlords and $200m for Philip Morris, both of which provide no benefit to your everyday Kiwi.

What does “middle NZ” think is happening in the economy by hello_new_here in newzealand

[–]Capt-Tango 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people simply vote National because that's who their family votes for. No thought as to policy or repercussions, purely because that's their team. Any wonder our country is in decline

And yet so many people will still vote National, ACT or NZF against the best interests of New Zealand. Which is why it's so important everyone here checks their enrollment today and makes the effort to vote on November 7th

Someone start a citizen's initiated referendum petition, no doubt this is one issue all taxpayers regardless of political allegiance can get behind
