Re: NZ Politics Thread

Dear all , I've abstained from comment post-election for the very good reason that in some form I voted for these bastards. Significant amounts of what has posted in recent weeks is justifiable concern for what is to come. It remains to be seen whether ,overall, the things that matter to each of yo...
