Still better than racism, austerity, scam, lies, benebashing, and mass unemployment National, Act, and Winston were campaigning on. All countries around the world are hurting with the costs of living, UK is on its knees, it's a global problem caused by Covid19/Ukraine war.

A pity this far-right NZ Govt doesn’t respect NZers rights & wellbeing -quite the opposite. They are quite happy to push more Kiwis into poverty with JobCuts & BeneBashing! #nzpol #jobs #jobcuts #AI #Homelessness #poverty #VoteThemOUT
