So NZ First’s position is that they won’t support drug testing stations at festivals because that “absolves all of those young people from taking personal responsibility for their decisions”… because death is a totally legitimate ‘I told you so’ lesson for young people right?
AS THE “YEAR OF DELIVERY” draws to its end, what have Jacinda Ardern and her colleagues delivered us? Well, they have not delivered 100,000 affordable houses. Nor have they brought Climate Change to a shuddering halt. Child poverty has not been ended. Our rivers and streams remain unswimmable. New Zealand’s farmers have yet to assume a measure of responsibility commensurate with their contribution to anthropogenic global warming. The number of ticks on Jacinda’s “To Do List” is far from impressive.

…punishing poor people for being poor seems like the sort of social policy Mordor implements.
If you are incandescent with rage over how you were conned by National into dairy intensification, then maybe you should be taking that out on your lying and deceitful National Party MPs, and not the Left!
