Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

    I just hate how its so predictably flip flop everytime the government changes on so many things. Govt X does something, next Govt Y reverses it etc.

    Havent really done much deeper thinking into it, which I probably should, but its getting quite old…

        Maybe it’s just one of those things where it “feels” like it, more so than it actually “is”?

            I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the full impact/outcome is.

            I think you’re right. I was really shocked by their enormous laundry list of things to repeal and dismantle. None of the Key governments had that.

            There’s also a weird shortage of things they are going to create.

      I think this is just a symptom of our general move away from the larger parties. Smaller parties tend to (though don’t always) have more extreme views. Labour and National are pretty close in policy, but when you add Greens on the left, they negotiate for stronger left-leaning policies. Then perhaps it would be ok if the policies were outside National’s normal field of vision, but then you throw in Act and NZ First and they each have things that are key to them lying outside the normal box, which they negotiate for.

      There is also a worldwide resurgence of further-right wing parties, that thrive on the divisiveness that instant worldwide communication encourages.

        The growth in popularity of far-right ideas worldwide does concern be a bit.
