I was horrified at some of what went on after the Christchurch earthquakes. Now we've ended up with a Labour government that happens to have done very well managing the pandemic but is also eating away at our rights. Sliding new taxes in through the back door, piece by piece taking control over things that are not their business. Trouble is, people expect it. How often are we hearing "there are calls for..." or "the government must...." over things that shouldn't even be news, or if they are should be the push towards people doing right for the right reasons, not bleating to the press when their own actions have had a negative consequence on their lives.

It's getting so bad that the only real opposition comes from ACT. Seymour seems to be the only one that understands that the point of being an opposition party is to oppose - and make sure changes get fully thrashed out before legislation creates unintended consequences.


"eating away at our rights?"

What rights have we lost?  If you mean that we need to wear masks in public if close to others that's a matter of safety - our own & that of others, rather than a right deliberately removed since those who have good reasons not to, are still free to not wear masks.

The pandemic management is the one thing I have no problem with. I'm getting sick of people not taking the current requirements seriously.

It's all the other law changes that keep sliding through that make us over-regulated in so many areas.
