@TreeStarMan remind me on whose behalf this Gov't works, again? I thought that was meant to be 'for the constituents, namely the voters and people of Aotearoa NZ'. Obviously, I'm painfully naïve. Either that, or they're painfully corrupt.

@lightweight It is government corruption on a scale that we haven't seen before in Aotearoa.

@TreeStarMan they've seen how little real political understanding there is among voters and are demonstrating their sense of political entitlement. I only hope the voters surprise me pleasantly in (or, dare I hope, prior) November.
