It started slowly but surely, well-intentioned, but now irreversible.<br /><br />The problem is, we know it is a problem, but too many people either don't see the problem, or see the cure as worse than the disease. <br /><br />I become very apathetic about the whole thing. National is unwilling to fix it, and will be gone either at the end of this term or next, then Labour / NZ First will condemn us to more govt intervention, which National will only tinker with when they get back in.<br /><br />I don't see ACT as a viable partner to a centrist govt to drag us out of the quagmire. Too hated by the media, academics and charities to be truly accepted.<br /><br />I really get depressed about NZ's future for just this reason.

For the first time in New Zealand...Meanwhile...<br /><br /><i>For the first time in New Zealand's history, home ownership has become the privilege of the wealthy, says ACT leader David Seymour.<br /></i><br /><br />ACT says this like it is a bad thing. On the other hand, he wants to a referendum to end national super? Tell me do you think Roger & Ruth's benefits cuts would have been accepted at referenda? <br /><br />ACT needs to do the right thing: end super, end welfare, privatise health & education - without any referendum. Welfare is wrong. full stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
