Help me see the bright side, whānau? I'm struggling.
#Aotearoa #NewZealand remains enviable by many world metrics, but the first term of NACTFirst was awful for a lot of folks here.
At least... We got the ban on greyhound racing? What else, though?
Did anything actually good happen for the environment? For tangata whenua? For the 🌈 community?
Because it felt like nothing but assaults on those fronts.
I'll take regional NZ news, even, if the national news is lacking.
