Homelessness increased 463%

1.2% of the way to their 100,000 affordable homes goal

How the fuck isn't this front and centre of the news? NZ is super fucked.

I don't think that David Farrier is that disingenuous? National Party sycophant David Farrar, yeah.

xor · 21st October 2021, 18:51

oh lol, what a typo. Well, the stats stand up so GG #aroha #rockstareconomy

fixed_truth · 21st October 2021, 19:23

The stats most likely do stand up. What conclusion do you draw from those stats in regards to cause & effect, xor? How do you think that an ongoing global pandemic factors in?

xor · 22nd October 2021, 11:01

The wheels keep on spinning regardless of a pandemic, GFC, trade war, climate change. The government has failed its people when there is a 453% increase in homelessness. It's inexcusable to watch these stats, pandemic or not.

The political party that is oh so virtuous about 'ending racism' is responsible for more brown people being made homeless than any previous political party.

fixed_truth · 22nd October 2021, 12:28

In reality it's really not that black & white. But that crude line does suit certain political agendas for sure.

xor · 22nd October 2021, 13:22

This is just the start of NZ's problems.

If you want my conclusion to Ardern's government: emigrate as soon as you can!

fixed_truth · 22nd October 2021, 13:49

I'm perfectly happy living here, but by all means, do what works for you.

Lightspeed · 22nd October 2021, 13:56

What's happening here is what's happening in the world. It's a function of ignorance thinking you can simply move away from the problems that are happening here.

Yes, yes, I know Mavis, "fuck you cunt".

Given how fucked up the water-services is in many council areas? Actually it might end well. EG: Wellington's sewage issues.

I hope so. I don't think it will but sure, let's go with that

Yep, it could be going from one evil to another evil.
But I agree with what they are trying to do. Similar with the healthboards.

Makes a lot more sense for there to be fewer in NZ, and therefore should be able to have a great overview of everything that is happening.

And not just money going to the councils pockets to do ??? with
