New Zealand needs to go back to basics.

By this I mean New Zealand needs to grow up.

Get rid of the pioneer just arrived bless you image of short with bear feet no matter the weather and try to speak English without the word Like.

God save, does nothing for a small country on the under belly of the earth.

It’s in desperate need of a written constitution, in order to give equality to its indigenous and its growing Asia/ India population’s.

Yes it’s made up of two islands on the bottom of the world, with two cultures, that could not be more separated by their beliefs, and traditions.

Yes it’s physical beauty, but it’s beauty is out weight by it’s traffic jams, it’s retirement homes, it’s lack of round about, it’s Māori named places with English named bays.

Yes thanks to the All Blacks and its yacht-men it’s world renowned for its sporting prowess.

Yes its cost of living is bleeding its youth to Australia and other parts of the world while its government fails to recognise how small and remote New Zealand is. It does not have very large populations living nearby. You can’t tax your way to prosperity. Tax the sale of any property is declaring war on rural New Zealand.

Yes it’s races.

Yes it has spent billions on children playground and nature tracks.

Yes it has enough low line fencing to go around the world twice.

Yes there is big big money in New Zealand.

Yes its market is still recovering from being dumped by the British Empire, and Covid.

Yes (like the Chagos Islands returning Mauritius after 200 years) it needs to break its English Empire colonisation and join world as an independent country.

Yes it still has sheep, kiwis, wine, and everything grows at a hundred miles an hour.

Yes its world image is still green CO2.

Yes it’s the land of the long white cloud, but it’s also the land of the long yellow traffic line, with never ending road maintenance.

Yes it’s keep up with the Jones housing market that remains free of Capital Gains tax. Having a bach/ holiday home is considered a birth right.

Yes its sun burn requires factor 50.

Yes it’s fully of old ugly men in shorts with legs tattooed up to their arse holes.

Yes like most countries it’s has violence.

Yes it’s volcanic, with a white and green galvanised roof houses on every hump.

Yes it’s welcoming, but difficult to make friends in.

Yes its exports markets are more and more reliant on China – Japanese markets.

Yes it’s professional people attract large salaries. Judges earning up to a half a million per year, but doctors earning 60% less than their counterparts in Australia.

Yes it’s a heaven for the retirement industry.

Yes it’s highly socially awkward.

Yes it’s run like all western countries by the Smartphone/Social Media.

Yes its health system needs investment.

Yes in a world without borders its educational aspersions lacks imagination.

Yes there are issues and grievances with the Waitangi Treaty. It has never been legislatively adopted as domestic law. There still not a commonly shared of the Treaty – its rights and obligations. Nor will there ever be till an agreed constitution is written.

This can only be achieved as an independent country.

Yes it’s has more verity of milk than cows.

Yes it’s a Mount Ruapehu.

All human comments appreciate. All like clicks and abuse chuck in the bin.
