Neoliberal free market capitalism + lazy mass immigration policies = a collapse in NZ’s social cohesion
New Zealand isn’t drifting apart by chance. Decades of economic policy and population pressure are tearing at the social fabric.

New Zealand isn’t drifting apart by chance. Decades of economic policy and population pressure are tearing at the social fabric.

New Zealand wants to replace China with India, but what if we’re just swapping one problem for another?

NZ is so laid back we may sleepwalk through a fuel crisis, an LNG gamble, and an economic shock — all while being told not to panic.

The recession isn’t coming — it’s already here. Trump lit the fuse, but local political choices are making the explosion worse.

They told us global pricing was good for us. Now they want us to trust them on the India free trade deal — before we’ve even seen it.

Trump’s geopolitical madness won’t stay in the Middle East. It’s coming for your groceries, your mortgage, your job and every excuse this Government makes for staying silent.

This isn’t a warning for the future — it’s happening now. Without a port strategy, global shipping giants will decide which parts of New Zealand survive.

The warning signs are flashing — collapsing confidence, rising costs, and a government with no plan. This isn’t stabilising. It’s building.

The Government says LNG must “stack up” — but won’t show the maths. Meanwhile, cheaper renewable options are sitting right there.

Build The Nation says politicians are targeting the wrong problem. Instead of tinkering with mining royalties, Richard McIntosh argues New Zealand should crack down on offshore profit-shifting and force multinationals to finally pay their fair share.
