Re: NZ Politics Thread
What I don't get is that if these people didn't buy the homes, they would be renting them - so it didn't change the equation at all really. The big problem is demand and you could say that the government's actions actually reduced that from what it could have been. I still believe the biggest cause...

Re: Israel Gaza war and protests
It’s hard to think of any President that would have opposed Israeli action from the start.
Biden is hardly unique.
Trump certainly wouldn’t be ruminating about Rafah, he’d be all in .

Where exactly ?
Unlike you I’m pretty sure I stick to the subject at hand and attempt to resist whataboutery.
I see no reason to minimise let alone continually rationalise the disaster that is currently unfolding in Gaza .

Re: Israel Gaza war and protests
Biden is clearly better than Trump. The quandary is that if he keeps winning that sets the standard; he's good enough. Just possibly if he loses they'll try to do better. Sure mate .
