It is utterly tragic. The scarring of this year's misguided policies will be with us for a very long time.
Let's see some positive policies-here's one-- what about writing off the student loan repayment due each year the person works in NZ. They should never have had to pay for their education in the first place-- the baby boomers did not come out of university with student loan debts
...and if we as community no longer have/support/value/ host/care for young folk , by relationship failure so too the Elders disappear, no longer evidnet or apparent . Elderhood becoming lost as Youth becomes lost marks a such destabilisation, one erasing our social belonging just as if we had lost orientation by direction;our North, South, East, West
I still can't decide if this is just a weak Luxon being hijacked by the extreme minor coalition partners or, and suspect more likely, what National actually wanted to do all along but knew they could not campaign on.
I was a teenager in the mid 90s. This feels just as grim, or actually more grim with the additions of multiple existential crisies we have found humanity has created. I feel for my daughter. This feels like we are throwing the younger generations a huge hospital pass.

I suspect it is more the latter Robin.
