Immigration has certainly been a talk of the current right crowd here too, one of our think tanks put out an article which got circulated onto a larger platform then their own here too, its an uneasy topic for sure.

There is an absolutely despicable bill in the starting stages in NZ around the education system, minister has the power to dissolve a integrated school if it cant be converted to a charter school.
