Focussed immigration has always been essential to our future, but New Zealanders need to be aware of the immediate dire situation our government is putting us in with a predicted record of one hundred thousand new immigrants moving to New Zealand in this year alone.
That means we will have twice the rate of increase than the UK. It is a frightening statistic.
There can be no underestimation of the unbearable pressure this massive number will place on kiwis who are struggling even now with the cost of living, lack of housing, crumbling health and education systems, and failing basic infrastructure in our communities – especially in the aftermath and costs of Gabriellle and other floods. This will drive wages down, not up.
Where is the common sense?
Where are the new houses going to come from? Does the government really think we need more demand in the middle of a housing crisis? Do Aucklanders need tens of thousands of more cars, more patients, more students, more homeless, more mouths to feed?
Labour campaigned six years ago on drastically lowering the immigration number because of the severe lack of infrastructure. They have now flipped open the uncontrollable floodgates because it is their only hope that immigration will bandaid over the flailing economy. This is the 2015 ‘open the borders’ National government all over again.
We need to stop this madness before it’s too late.
It hasn’t resulted in dissolution of the nation state through civil conflict… yet. Why not fuck around and find out?
“This is the 2015 National government all over again”, if labour so similar to National, is this some indirect cryptic code that Winston could go with Labour after all, even though he apparently ruled out going with Labour?
Shouldn’t immigration of foreign workers into NZ be strictly curtailed whenever unemployment begins to rise, as it’s forecast to do soon?
Shouldn’t red zones, managed retreat zones, and flood zones, allow for housing of the relocatable type, like tiny houses and prefabs?
Shouldn’t this blog have a political satire competition, since the left leaners are often found in the arts and creative fields and probably have a better sense of political humour?
Go NZ First…Government bound at this stage.
Absolutely….I’d wager good money NZF will get a higher percentage of the vote than the Greens.
All part of the Marxist agenda sweeping the west, this morning I see England is trialing universal basic income. Winston Will get in and throttle back the insanity of the extreme left and also right. God we need him
A Marxist agenda from a billionaire Tory PM?
The ponzi scheme , immigration , has been kicked off again. 100,000 when it used to be 15,000 per yr ..These days its mostly “takers” that come, not “makers” and they wedge into middle society pushing our own down and out of housing and hope. I despair for my country and will vote Winnie for this reason alone.
simple question to all pro immigration advocates
where do we put them..actual street addresses please
and what do we do with their shit(literally)with our clapped out infrastructure
answers on a postcard to the usual address
Not only a brain drain of smart young Kiwi’s but also the continuation of a dramatic demographic change.
