Hi, I'm sorry my excitement about the @nzlabour Govt (with Green support) making structural changes that have been long overdue pisses you all off so much #MaoriWards
I'll have a word to the PM see if she can finally get her magic wand out & fix 40 years of housing overnight https://twitter.com/five15design/status/1356147450457640960

& if you say Labour has done NOTHING around housing I will swear at you for being an uninformed dickhead.
Do they need to do more? 100,000x yes!
Does 40 years of free market neglect get fixed overnight - NO.
Last 3 years, record building consents + state houses built.
OK!

OK!
Do they need CGT, yes, but along with about 30-40 other factors, including land banking, banks, RMA, housing design, housing attitudes, material costs & procurement, building processes, skilled labour.
If you have an answer for all of these, send your CV to Labour Head Office

& finally, just let me fucking well enjoy things like Maori Wards & a whole raft of other decisions that NZ First were obviously holding them back from progressing on (or would have), that are long over due & make MATERIAL difference to people's lives.
NB: Wages!
Why isn't every Kiwi up & arms about or low wage economy that Key was going to fix over a decade ago?
We are one of the least productive & lowest wage countries compared to trading partners we compare ourselves to.
Houses could be $1B if incomes were also that.

Finally (for now) if you don’t see the adverse effects of climate change being the biggest driver of inequality in the future & don’t add that to your basket of things to fix, you’re even more single issue than you think.
