      politicians, judiciary, and police are all not held to account in their private capacity.
      that will only change when the people start making them accountable.

    Labour just conducted a great big experiment while in power . Ardern was never up to running a country and probably would have been more suited to a PTA at her local school . In my life time I have never seen a government divide a nation like she did . Never seen a government take minority groups and put their issues above majority and actually single out minority’s and create a victim mentality amongst them . That labour government had the tail wagging the dog with the Māoris . Thank god it’s over .
