  • Question via imnotcaradelevingne
    Anonymous asked: For a start I didn't mean trendy I meant if we want to talk about refugees we need to talk about a much larger problem than just 500 people who try to get here by boat every year (all of whom are important!!!). Labor is fucked I'm a leftie I know that but people thinking the Greens are so great are wrong. They only care about increasing their own power imo They always make a lot of noise but when it comes to a solution there's is only criticise labor no matter what. Sorry for being such a dick.

    It’s ok. I think leonrw bore the brunt of your comments anyway.

    And look, I have to disagree...

    I like this map…even with the unfortunate implications that it might inadvertently make NZ look cool. Which is not good.
