When you're paying $3 a litre for petrol... Remember Luxon's govt crashed the EV market, slashed public transport & cycleway spending & cut fees for importing gas guzzlers by 80% - turning NZ into a dumping ground for the worlds dirtiest most oil hungry vehicles.

This is a Nazi move. Stripping people of rights, invalidating their IDs, setting them up for criminalization and imprisonment.
If you don't support trans rights, you support fascism.

*sigh* I know in a way this doesnβt need to be said, but this isnβt a good policy approach.
It doesnβt solve the problem. Homeless moved is just homelessness in another location. It doesnβt address why folks are homeless nor does it provide accommodation.

Labour MP ejected from House after 'trifling' over Peters' remark
Kieran McAnulty ordered out after challenging Speaker Gerry Brownlee's decisions on comments made by Winston Peters.
Kieran was ejected because he told the truth:
"Failing to require Winston Peters to withdraw and apologise for something that was quite clearly an offensive comment, when you have required that of other members β indeed, other party leaders β runs the risk of you applying different standards"
