I wish there was a table of sitting councillors & mayors who opposed 3 Waters back in 2022, so I could be absolutely sure NONE of them got my vote this time round.

They've cost all of us, big time!

This makes me very sad, and angry too.
$30 million is such a small amount of money in the budget of a whole country. It's not quite 1/20th of the money Nicola Willis spent to buy no ferries.
They're taking money from women, from social services, and giving it to landlords, arms manufacturers

Quote attributed to Jones notes: "Don’t let these Green dreams drive us into poverty and drive all our young people away to Australia, only for new migrants coming from the third world to replace our own children and grandchildren. That’s not putting New Zealanders first.”

Quote attributed to Jones notes: "Don’t let these Green dreams drive us into poverty and drive all our young people away to Australia, only for new migrants coming from the third world to replace our own children and grandchildren. That’s not putting New Zealanders first.”

I see Shane Jones is telegraphing the same 'Great Replacement' narrative, & lie Christchurch terrorist used to justify massacre of 51 Muslims in March 2019. This is not political debate. This is violent extremist rhetoric fuelling racism, endangering communities, & ripping apart social cohesion.

Hello from NZ where we saved 10s of 000s of lives by closing our borders but now everyone hates the leaders of that time. God help us when the next one comes because everyone here will be demanding the right to β€œfreedom”.
