Alas, sleepy little New Zealand is the sheep farm of the South Pacific.
and most of us New Zealanders are two legged sheep, docile complaisant and pampered with a welfare system that is still among the most generous in the world even after it was severely cut by a right wing govt in 1991.

If i had the courage the health and was young enough i would leave this hick town of a nation, but i am 65, ill, tired and it is too late
When one of the covid criminals, Director General of Health Ashley Bloomfield, was recently given a knighthood on leaving his post we know that our government here will ignore you outright.
in our recent elections of last month the only party ( New Zealand Loyal led by
Liz Gunn) which took seriously the crimes of covid got NOWHERE, with a mere 1.2% of the total vote. I voted for them and only 26.000 others, out of a vote count of about 2.5 million. and some called the leader of this outfit a crazy conspiracy theorist, even now, even after all the info that is out there
under our system a party needs to get 5% to get a seat in the House of our single chamber parliament
Moreover, given our system of mixed member proportional representation we do not have a government yet though it has been a month since said election.
why?
no one party won enough seats to be government outright.
that means coalition which means whoring and horse trading, aka negotiation to get one tat they agree to.. it also means that small parties end up being kingmakers having FAR MORE power than their vote percentage should allow.
so negotiations continue. We have no government and if you want to be sure that they ignored you rather than there not being a government here to receive your invitation you had better wait until a govt is announced and then send it again.
and if i were a betting man i would bet good money they WILL ignore you when there is a "they" to do it
Funny how our 'caretaker' govt will likely ignore Steve but just a week or so ago was miraculously able to extend the expiry of the "provisional" authorisation for these jabs.
