I agree with what you are saying but National has been pandering far too much to the right imo.

he’s not wrong at all no, but the way he paints it to his own people is fucking deplorable.
talk about politics of fear or whatever that fucking buzz term at the moment is.
haha
winston peters is a fucking cock. that’s plainly obvious.
i admire your passion and your heart, but your hard on for the left leaves you so blindly oblivious to the own goals down your end dude.
but since you’re calling out lies, i’d love to get your take on;
rawiri waititi claiming national and act WANT māori dead 7-10 years early.
Rawiri Waititi: 'National, ACT want to see Māori die 10 years early'
"Mr Waititi would be better off explaining what he will do for Māori instead of divisively and dishonestly misrepresenting other parties’ motivations," David Seymour said in response.www.1news.co.nz
rawiri waititi doubling down on his claim that māori are genetically superior - “It is a known fact that Māori genetic makeup is stronger than others.”

or ginny anderson accusing the police minister of being paid to kill people
Labour’s Ginny Andersen claims Police Minister was ‘paid to kill people’ while working in private security overseas
Labour police spokeswoman Ginny Andersen now says her statement went too far .www.rnz.co.nz
i think all politicians should be held to the same standards and deserve the same criticisms, don’t you?
For sure. Ginny Andersen apologised right?
The content of Winston's monologue rant though is clearly conspiratorial, bordering on delusional. And he's the deputy pm.
His words are fantastical. If he truly believes what he's saying then he is not grounded in reality.

He's not a conman, wtf.
Thanks Dean, appreciate the post and I really do need to listen a bit more, far too trigger happy on the kb today.

māori live 10 years longer than South Africans. NZers die 3 years younger than Australians if they get cancer. Shouldn’t the aim be to peruse best practice and the underlying issues no matter what the race?
My main issue with ‘race’ based policy is that most bad outcomes are actually driven by poverty rather than race, which affects all races but disproportionately māori.
Address the poverty.
Using race assists māori not needing assistance and denies other races that need help because it’s blunt, not targeted right and addresses the incorrect root cause.

Could you expand on what you mean by statistically? This study on speed vs road deaths conducted in 10 different countries concludes that higher speed is associated with increased occurrence and severity of road crashes.

And yet NZ and Australia have focused almost exclusively on speed and the road toll goes up…
I’ve posted before the govt graphs showing about half are caused by drinking/ drugs; about 10% motorcyclists and the rest the other areas.

after initially refusing to apologize she said….
"I apologise to Mark Mitchell. It is unacceptable to personally attack someone" she told Morning Report on Monday.
all of us as a kid have had an adult stop us from doing whatever we’re doing and apologize. she couldn’t even manage that level of apology.
no mention of what she even said.
so yes, she did apologize, but barely.
i’m sure she’d find that apology worthy of a 50% sentence reduction for remorse though.
Address the poverty as well. The rest of your critique is BS.

How much part do ever increasing populations and more cars on the road play in higher death toll?
You are not wrong but they don't address poverty, so removing the māori health authority will only hurt them more. Remember Seymour will probably remove most of the school lunches too.
I think I'm pretty flexible with my politics, all you need to do is help the country and not help the ones that don't need help. Add back $5 prescription, no problem (because those that spend more than $100? I think get the rebate), rego increase, that's ok, it's bound to happen. Giving landlords tax refund and not charge cgt, no. Not charging the tax brackets, no.
Also, waiting on their tough on crime and gangs policy to enact.
One arrested after Gisborne brawl deaths at 21st birthday, gang members involved
Three people are in a critical condition at Gisborne Hospital, which is in lockdown.
Exactly, It's an ideological minefield. Affirmative action to address past injustices that lead to current inequality of outcomes is easy fodder for attack rhetoric because it's obviously race based.

Q and A this morning in a story said NZ has the most cars in the world per capita
Oh really? It’s *reduced access* is it? I’d love to see that quantified. I have no doubt about the reduced lifespan.
As per the vegan study, a vegan diet is worse for you. Vegans however make healthier lifestyle choices.
It has been steady numbers wise since the 'Road to Zero' campaign was introduced, noting 2020 and 2021 were affected by Covid with a reduction in road deaths between 2022 and 2023.
I do agree with you that measures such as more drug/alcohol testing, better, safer roads and enforcement needs to accompany reduced speeds depending on the road rather than scrapping it entirely.

What was affirmative action designed to do – and what has it achieved?
The US supreme court has banned the use of affirmative-action policies that have been in place for decades
