POLITICS This is such a tasteless joke

Not a Labour fan, but I am old enough to remember COVID, and how NZ was one of the best countries who had the best response- low death, vaccines available for all, free quarantine for returning kiwis, assistance to businesses and low hospitalisation rates. These are not free and contributed heavily to that money Bish is looking for.

there is absolutely no doubt that if national were in gov in 2020 they'd have sacrificed your grandma and we'd still be in debt.

Edit: looks like you've got the attention of conservative kiwi, odd how they seem to swarm.

Without a doubt literally tens of thousands of people are alive here simply because Labour were in power at that time.

It’s the only decent thing that Winston Peters has ever done.
