While living in the Wellington bubble, I spend enough time in Auckland & Tauranga to know many people would rather have their teeth drilled than think or talk about politics. Of course, they love bitching about the outcomes of Government and Council policies - urban sprawl, endless traffic jams, high prices, faltering services like health and education. I think we're paying a price for a lack of civics education and lack of regulation of social media misinformation. Otherwise sensible people I know are talking about voting the current Govt out because life is difficult and surely a change in Govt will fix things. Ha, if only they knew. But there is little understanding of the policies and ideology of the right and how much more f**cked NZ could get if we gave the wealthy tax cuts and cut govt spending to deliver this. I have many difficult conversations to have before October. Hopefully Luxon keeps helping me...
