Immigration should be a major issue for NZ voters.
Almost 3 of 10 people here are foreign born.
In Auckland it’s over 4 in 10.
If this trend continues then New Zealand will lose its unique culture in a decade or 2.
Some areas are already gone.
I remember going through the drive-thru 20 years ago and being served by a kiwi kid getting valuable work experience on entry level wages.
Now it’s an Indian.
Call me racist if you want but I want to be told the soft serve machine is broken by the Kiwi kid.
It’s not that hard to understand.
High minimum wage + no youth rates = kiosks instead of staff & a big decline in after school work for kids.
Now they enter the workforce later with no worth ethic ingrained in them, competing with people far more experienced for the same pay.
“Diversity is our strength” actually translates to “who’s going to pick our fruit & clean our toilets?”
It’s hilarious how most leftist views have their roots in an unwillingness to work.
@foo_4_thought If you want to live in a modern world with the luxuries you currently enjoy then you need an immigrant workforce to support that lifestyle. Or are you happy to clean public toilets or pick fruit for minimum wage?
@GlobalVista1999 We never needed them in the 50s and 60s so we need to reverse some of the “progress” we made since then instead of importing the 3rd world at the expense of our culture.
@GlobalVista1999 Yes that’s the culture I want to keep.
Thanks for the opportunity to clarify.
If you want to reverse colonisation then go live in hut, use stone tools, & eat people.
@rez61656321@MartinAshton_NZ You’re Indian.
0.3% of Indian population is foreign born.
How would you like is it over the next 10 years they let 435 million Chinese into India & it got to the point where you go to your local supermarket & there aren’t any Indians anymore?
@rez61656321@MartinAshton_NZ@VJMPub I’m sure you’d welcome so many foreigners into your own country, coming in at such a speed that your culture gets erased from the planet forever.
And that’s why it’s relevant to ask where you were born?
@aniobrien Have they tried counting?
National, ACT and NZ First: 1,207,431 votes.
Labour, Greens and TPM: 1,046,077 votes.
Throw in TOP’s 144,298 and they still lose.
Their argument is that the left should have won, but they need something better than coming second in the vote count.
@rez61656321@MartinAshton_NZ@VJMPub It doesn’t matter, just fuck off to where you came from.
We don’t need any “citizens” who aren’t interested in protecting our culture.
@MattieLaverty@Athol94519002 So what? Not everyone is delusional about colonisation.
Not all of us wish we were still living in the Stone Age & eating each other in the country.
