    would you like Australia to come over and help out? 😁 I’m sure it’ll be a quick and painless takeover, won’t feel a thing

        I mean you’ve already got her apparently:

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_First#Ideology_and_policies

        Social and economic policies

        New Zealand First has been closely associated with its policies regarding the welfare of senior citizens[163] and its anti-immigration stance.[184][187] The party has frequently criticised immigration on economic, social and cultural grounds. It proposes an annual immigration cap of between 7,000 and 15,000 “seriously qualified” migrants, who would be expected to assimilate into New Zealand culture.[188]

        Peters has on several occasions characterised the rate of Asian immigration into New Zealand as too high; in 2004, he stated: “We are being dragged into the status of an Asian colony and it is time that New Zealanders were placed first in their own country”.[189]

        That was exactly her party platform at the same time as well

          Yeah, I was thinking of NZF as I was writing that.

          This is getting out of hand. Now there are two of them!

            😅

            I think too much social media, things are pretty good for us at the moment, would hate to have a cooker in power

            Looks like it may happen in the UK as well
