I’d love to move to NZ but your immigration laws are insane…
I’m austrian and it’s basically impossible to move to NZ for me

You already have austriankiwi at home. No need to emigrate.

I promise you you wouldn’t like living there as much as you think. I agree our immigration laws are really shitty though, and you should be allowed to come find out for yourself what a crappy country we are.

A businessman-cum-conservative leads the country since 2023, in coalition with far-right populists.
After two terms of Labour government.
Pretty much the same happened in my country, and yes, the effects are palpable, esp. if you work in the public or social sector.

Yeah, it must be quite jarring to go from this badass
Similar to the US going from Obama to Trump in 2016.
Left got complacent, while the right stoked fear with lies and propaganda.

That fear mongering and manipulation did not only come from internal right wing forces but has been a coordinated effort through social media influence by adversaries. It’s still happening and it’s happening all over the world apart from the couple of countries it’s originating from.
Obama was not a badass, he was a charismatic young illegal drone striking war criminal who reversed course on several key campaign promises.
He wasn’t Trump, but he wasn’t a leftist workers hero, you deserve and should demand better than Democrats.

Exactly. When he took the stage to a cheering crowd after his win, I KNEW he would just be one more weak, useless Democratic placeholder, just there to give the PedoCons enough time for bad memories of the last disastrous Republican administration to fade, so they can manipulate their way back into office, and continue their destruction.

Something to remember when reading these headlines, is that Australia is a ridiculously wealthy country, in large part due to mineral wealth, and anyone in NZ can just go there and get a job.
It has almost nothing to do with politics, and everything to do with making more money.
threaded - newest
That’s what happens when morons vote in fascists.
also the HCOL in Nz apparently.
It’s almost entirely the cost of living VS income, very little to do with politics.
I don’t know how to describe how stupid leaving NZ for Australia because of politics would be.
Uhh. NZ has a right wing government that is attacking trans people and Maori.
Australia is run by a center party, that on the whole is making social strides for the positive.
For now, sure. They change PMs like they change underwear over there.
And they treat their indigenous people very poorly.
And the current government are trying to do something about that
NZ had always rested on its laurels about being a good society
That is changing. Too many stupid, hateful cunts were happy to vote for Luxon
I have whanau who voted for him, and I would be happy to never see them ever again
We don’t vote for PMs we vote for parties. And they change as frequently as in NZ.
And my state recently signed an important treaty, meanwhile NZ is trying to alter its treaties and reneg on obligations.
One is actively working to improve the lives of their indigenous, the other is trying to make it worse.
Are you implying that the economy is not a political issue? Who do you think makes the economic policy in NZ?
Hey USA, this is the time. Not next year, right. This. Minute.

If that’s the case why is it record numbers now?
Australia has had mineral wealth for a very long time, that’s nothing new.
