ngakonui grass Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Just been watching various news channels regarding the over turning of Roe versus Wade.Gunna be trouble ahead methinks. What a strange country the usa is turning into. OK with the rights of gun owners but not ok with women looking after their rights. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was chatting to someone in April, who is a Republican & lives in LA which California is a Democratic stronghold. They said USA in past few years had become so divided. Something they had never seen in their lifetime. To a point they thought there was going to be a civil war. And if so, they would want to partake in this civil war themselves if that happened. But things thank fully never got that bad, & they also said that things had quietened down & were heading back to normal. This won’t help things on the path back to normal.

Hesi Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 It is going to be a test of Chris Luxon's political maneuverability. It is well known that he is anti abortion because of his Christian beliefs, but he can't say anything, or he is dead in the water. A lot of women in NZ lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngakonui grass Posted June 26, 2022 Author Share Posted June 26, 2022 His wiki page says he is against abortion and he has also said that the law won't change if he gets power. Now all that remains is how far the Govt want to make this a part of the election debate as Robertson was leaning towards on the AM show.

karrotsishere Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Was thinking Nats/Act & maybe a smaller party would get in next year. BUT this could change things ... or make it very close either way. Hard to know what will happen between now & election as not til next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globederby19 Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 (edited) Apart from that debate, notwithstanding omicron, the Ukraine conflict, and the Jib shortage, one of the main problems facing NZis the lack of a visible workforce. We were warned of this many years ago. We were told once the baby boomers reached retirement age, there would be a shortage of caregivers to look after the elderly. Not just caregivers ,as it turns out, but doctors and nurses as well as builders , waiter-persons and a whole host of workers who now have the opportunity to demand higher incomes due to their scarcity. Wage rises cause inflation which is already reaching alarming heights. The future looks bleak, and yet, into this valley of death rides Christopher Luxon,genuinely believing he can solve the unsolvable. He should quit while he is ahead.

ngakonui grass Posted June 27, 2022 Author Share Posted June 27, 2022 I read where Mahuta has criticised the Roe v Wade decision but she must have forgot that she voted against the abortion law reform bill in NZ. Funny that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
