In the week when Argentina and Netherlands set a course correction and the Irish are in the streets about Algerians murdering children - this won't make the news. But a government has been formed in NZ - finally.
Highlights of the coalition agreement are (my words):
- sport to be based on sport and not tranny bullshit
- race-based preferential treatment to be removed from all legislation
- racist Maori Health Authority to be disestablished
- Firearms legislation to be repealed (gun registers, silly restrictions etc to be gutted)
- Environment and Climate Change nonsense is relegated outside of Cabinet (ie in the wilderness)
- planning laws changed to restore the right to enjoy property rights
- tenancy laws repealed to return rights to landlords
- all existing Covid mandates to end immediately
- reinstate 3 strikes legislation
- all government communications to be in English (not Maori)
- all publicly funded education establishments must support free speech or be de-funded
- end the ban on oil mining and lots lots more.
The announcement itself was pure comedy gold, with the 78 year old Deputy PM Winston Peters continuously scolding the far-left commie press gallery about their bias - best one was in response to the dumbass question "Do you all trust each other" - his response was something along the lines of "Stop with the stupid games, we all shook hands and we all signed an agreement - I understand that you are all disappointed but YOU LOST"
I'd love to live in NZ but its just so fucking expensive, although australia is getting pretty out of control as well.
There are still some rural places in NZ that are cosmopolitan enough to offer a proper supermarket (not just a jumped up dairy with inflated prices) and a fiber-connection. Also the small towns are populated by pragmatic individuals who brook no nonsense - many of whom are still descended from people who lived in the same area - why move?.
Getting into the country is easier if one has a trade that is on the Critical Shortage list. https://www.immigration.govt.nz/new-zealand-visas/already-have-a-visa/one-off-residence-visa/2021-resident-visa-scarce-lists/long-term-skill-shortage-list
So the drill is: Get a job first. Then get a Visa and come here. Then, convince the government that you need to stay as a Permanent resident. Even better is to marry a New Zealander.
Be aware, however, that getting to know a New Zealander, and gain their trust, will prolly take 10 years. I have seen Americans fail spectacularly, just because they found the people stand-offish compared to what they were used to. In particular, young mothers found it hard to integrate. However, I have also witnessed a Filipino who worked here on a Visa and has now been granted the possibility of bringing his wife and kids here. That was some hardship for about three years for that man.
