Sadly, NZ has shown that the previous good governance was more a matter of luck and the fact that NZ is so small that it's tricky to do things with anonymity in the shadows

The rise of right-wing arseholes around the world had emboldened these cunts, and the fact that morons like my simpleton father will vote for anyone who allows their bigotry (even though it's to his detriment) means that they're not bothering with secrecy as much as they used to

Maybe it should never have been. You should not be proud of an accident of birth.
