New Zealand was always on my list of places to go for a couple months and wander around.
Now that it looks to be descending into a dystopian hell-scape I'm thinking it's the last place I'd want to be stuck. Only slightly above China at this point.
I am very worried about what is happening in my country. The current government is also busy trying to push through "co-governance" which basically means that the elected government will be forced to "co-govern" with Māori tribal elites.
I am strongly considering moving, maybe to Australia. They are pretty fucked too but at least they have state law and federal law, so hopefully moving to a conservative leaning state will be better than staying in NZ.
Not to blackpill you, but… I… Wouldn’t come here, dude, if I were you.
I know it’s relatively easy for Kiwis to migrate, but where are you thinking? QLD (like the majority of expats)? WA??
Neither has a government that I would describe as in any way “conservative-leaning”. Hell, the most “conservative” state government at this point is NSW, and look how fucked they are!!
I really… Don’t know how to change that direction, or whether there is any chance of that turning around, in the near future…
Honestly, while it will be more difficult, I would look at Visas to elsewhere, particularly if you are under 35…
Ireland and the UK will likely be easiest, but you’ve got a New Zealand passport. No one hates you guys (as yet). You literally have the best passport in the world, when it comes to having the widest choice of “options” for this purpose.
I would do that, rather than coming to this (increasingly a) hellhole.
Also, you can go to the Cook Islands, without needing a Visa, I suspect. I realise that won’t “free you of the yoke” that is Ardern and co, but hey, you’re at least slightly removed from her direct rule, if you do that. And it honestly looks pretty great there, from all I’ve seen (if you can do remote work, or something).
Yeah was thinking QLD. I've known Aussie to be pretty bad but was hoping that at least in some areas it t could be better than what NZ is turning into. The situation in the UK seems pretty fucked too, so I really don't know anymore.
I like the Cook Islands, been there on holiday. Wonder if that is viable to at least escape the immediate clutches of Ardern and her communist pals...
May I remind you that Ardern is literally an avowed socialist (she didn’t get the nickname “pretty Communist” in the media for nothing), as is Australia’s Albanese…
You really think her (and Albanese’s) agenda, or their stark hypocrisy, or their “divide and conquer” rule by decree, is coincidental, given that..? Really??
They know what they are doing (in that sense. They’re also idiots). They’re following a plan. This is all just part of that…
Obviously also Trudeau, though I don’t know if he actually admitted to Commie-worship, directly…
And yes, Bernie Bros, unfortunately I suspect that in the same position, the old guy might have done similar. Though still admittedly probably better, or at least more competent, than Sleepy Joe has managed to be, at any point…
They all have the shot in NZ, so frankly they already came out as fascists.
This is just the next step down the slippery slope.
Yes, I don't expect anything to come from the public that elected the NZ equivalent of AOC into their highest office.

It is already in place in some areas too, for example: https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/heather-du-plessis-allan-drive/opinion/heather-du-plessis-allan-the-unfolding-tuhoe-case-is-an-example-of-why-co-governance-doesnt-work/

Just some ideas, anyway!!

insert the quote about women from 1984
A corrupt oligarchy/cathedral in democratic clothing, if anything. Same in the US and many other western countries.
