A timely reminder that the power in NZ resides in us, the Kiwi voter. Politicians work for us. They need to work for our votes. If you are feeling despondent about NZ future, don’t. It is in your hands. Choose the issue(s) most important to you and vote #nzpol #nzpolitics

Insanity.

well, considering I was working in the Minister's office at the time, I know exactly when the houses we built were Labour funding, not National's

It’s never too late.
Spoke with a friend whose two adult sons were to vote ACT.

Feeling poorer? This is why too
NZD has fallen almost 20% against the Aussie in less than 1.5 years. That's a direct import & cost of living hit on top of electricity, food etc.
161,000 Kiwis (net) have fled in the last 3 years; only exporters benefit - the rest of us pay

National was tanking the economy from the start. Willis said she "delivered" after cancelling i-Rex which costed Kiwis $1 billion. Her plan was never about prosperity for anyone but National, ACT, and NZ First donors. She's underfunded our public health sysem. She should resign.
