I don't understand how Action Zealandia or Voices For Freedom will get National elected. You might want to look at what these groups believe, it's usually the opposite of what National, Act and NZ First want.

These employers don't seem to care about the safety and dignity of staff either. After high school, a friend worked as a builder and he had to install pink batts without any protective gear, so he was itching like a p-head for days. I tried installing pink batts in an attic once. My goggles fogged up and I couldn't see a damned thing.

They focus on renters rights but I wish they'd do more about having a proper housing market. You know, complete with competition and stuff like that.

Sure, but Renters United isn't active in Christchurch. I'm not aware of any local events they're promoting. As far as I'm aware, nobody is even attending council meetings or community discussions that are often held at churches.

I'll support vandalism if they spray paint Parliament and glue their hands to the doors at Parliament, so that MPs can't get to work. Until that happens I won't take this group seriously.

You know Dave, I've just been emailing Christchurch councillors and I've had a few responses. I'm pretty good at getting information and finding out where to get press reports and stuff like that, but I struggle to understand the council. I don't know how I can oppose these residents' associations and I'm just learning that stuff now. We need a group that will make democracy accessible for someone who works 6 days a week, who can't attend most meetings.

These ultra-leftwing groups are just fecking dumb. I'm in favour of having apartments and cycleways and proper public transport, but I'd never agree to help the kind of activities which Restore Passenger Rail is engaged in. There are meetings at the local council that I could be protesting but I usually find out at the last minute, or after it's too late. Meanwhile, a death cult is attacking a business over an alarmist prophecy.

They could be helping me do something useful, like pry boomers away and stop them from corrupting the council.

I guess they've got the time.

So are level 4 lockdown is cool with you?

I won't be supporting the next lockdown or mask mandate.

Computers last longer than 5 years, if you get a desktop PC and have RAM or motherboard replaced when it dies.

I'm in favour of public transport, but these people are an embarrassment. I've told them that civil disobedience is great, but please don't block roads. I suggested they block the door to national and labour party events, as an alternative.
