Why are they complaining about fluoride when every house in New Zealand is legally forced to be capable of supplying a lethal amount of dihydrogen monoxide to every inhabitant?

I dunno, Lester is p high profile and may well be viewed as Celia's successor now. Young is high profile too, but a ton of that is negative.

I'm just pessimistic about the city that gave us Kerry god knows how many times. Jo Coughlan appears to be the most popular right-wing candidate, but she apparently doesn't know how STV works.

I guess it depends if you want Aucklanders buying up properties in your area to get on the property ladder, pushing up regional rent without contributing a single cent to the local economy?

Farm people vote. They also don't have water or rubbish collected. And other stuff. My rates will remain relatively low.

But I do understand the struggle of a region which is home to a quarter of our population. If that shithole is gridlocked then we are all hosed.

Given the examples of how our scientists who research the health of our rivers have been treated, I imagine any scientist with convincing concerning evidence of impeding volcanic activity or quakes or anything really in Auckland would die in a suspicious car accident

Highest rate in the OECD of work visas being given out too. The cynic in me says it's mostly so Nats can artificially prop up the economy in the run-up to the next election. I think it's got to be something Labour talk going into an election year, and hopefully they can do so without being racist shits like they did with housing

Immigrants grow the economy, and if they stay they tend to vote for the establishment and the status quo, because well they're mostly better off here. With current high immigrant satisfaction ratings, it's a win-win for the Nats.
