NZ seems to be in a bad way. From what I can see--at a distance--I am in complete agreement with your assessment that the mental health system is nonfunctional, although being distanced from it I don't have the level of personal rage that you exhibit.
But it's the same here in Australia. And fuck, check out the opioid epidemic in the USA, and Trump, and Brexit. Everything's going to shit all at once everywhere.
Rightish parties won't help because they're conservative. They're the "everything will be OK if we just stay the course" people. Leftish parties are crying THE END IS NIGH but can't help because Leftish internal purges have eliminated all the competent people, and only parties that win elections can do anything.
No shit, I'm closer to moving home than I have been at any time in the past 18 years because Australia feels fucking doomed. NZ actually looks like a country in better shape.
