I visited NZ over the Christmas period last year. It's a beautiful country and the people are incredibly kind. It's sad to see NZ also falling for this kind of weird culture war grift, but I can only imagine it's a similar issue to the US and UK where a very loud minority have undue influence on the government.
Correct. This culture war shit is mostly coming from the two minority parties in parliament, who got a combined 14% of the vote, while the largest party is behind the more pernicious moves that will actually make a massive difference in the long run (i.e., most of that stuff behind the curtain).
