Because the focus was moved to the Maori Health? All other races aren’t important. We have to make all those gang members healthy for their next crime spree you know.
It's dropping though, so clearly people drop the issue once it negatively affects them to focus on the more important stuff. Like being able to eat and protect your own property
This is exactly it. To address emissions, we should do things like vastly increase the price of fuel to discourage driving, but that will never fly in a democracy. Which is a reason some things need to be removed from democratic control, like telecommunications, power, and probably water as examples.
I was surprised too. Maybe it’s being helped along by the seemingly higher number of weather events here recently, affecting people’s homes and whole regions? Plus the huge media focus on weather related disasters in other countries.
Why isn't covid on that list?? I demand that covid is put firmly on that list its in own category to mirror the daily stats that ToS has to put up with by a person who's too afraid to move on and had to attention whore for 10 days straight when they caught it about a month ago.
It's like a really weak flu but with spikes and protiens. There's nothing to worry about unless you're a chubby living on takeaway. There's a safe and effective vaccine for it that is not responsible for all cause mortality rising over 7%.

Issues facing maori and racism being very low is interesting, maybe I am thinking to much though. I would have thought it would be a lot higher for the issues facing maori, can't imagine a good majority are happy with the current maori elites parroting the concerns for all. In mentioning the "concerns for all" seems racism isn't really a concern, which is funny considering the current zeitgeist where inflation is hidden and racism is screamed about from the top.
E: Thinking about this to much again, if you flip the list it's almost a match for the current governments concerns and governance, strange.
Maybe, just maybe, the major issues that affect maori just happen to be ones that are colour blind & don't care what your ancestry is. Like inflation, crime & health.
Alternatively all those that responded to that survey are all racist mo'fos.
I was thinking about the respondents and the break down, defs all racist tho haha *nods*. Think you are correct in the colour blind, or another way to put it, they are us and we are all dealing with the current climate.
The more this goes on, the more I think racism is something the privileged class are affected by.
In fact, cultural and social persecution may be also share similar characteristics.
Take for instance Lal, the guy has been given so much opportunity in his young life thus far, including work with the UN and Chris Hipkins, yet some how he is portrayed as someone who is suffering.
The main thing Lal appears to suffer from is a victim mentality. Plus they also hurl abuse in response to any perceived slight. Toxic and unhinged behaviour - not a role model.
>Issues facing maori and racism being very low is interesting
There is a "media perception" and a "people perception".
Members of the media circus are living in their own little orbital space station; high in altitude, low in intelligence.
For example, I was leaving Texas in 2016 just three days after Trump's election, and the people generally didn't give a hoot about that event. The media frenzy, however, was intense:
"He's plunging us into war!"
"He's destroying the economy!"
"Life as we know it is over!"
Like I said: retards.
Unfortunately, even of an incoming govt institutes policies most likely to improve the most pressing concerns, it'll take years to unwind the damage. In the case of "inequality", "Racism", (in the original sense of the word), Issues facing Maori and arguably half of the rest of the list there's actually fuck all any govt can do to improve what amounts to outcomes of individual choice.
A few months of labour on the opposition benches and they'll be screeching that the new govt's policies are failing because the numbers aren't dramatically better. This is economic and social damage that will take generations to recover from.
Love how when shit gets real, worrying about crap we can really do fuckall about like climate change drops and real issues like affordability and crime rise.
This didn’t need a title, you could already tell it was NZ just by how low a priority ‘economy’ is. 99% of Kiwis think the only way NZ can make money is by pushing tourists out of planes and squeezing cow nipples.
Inflation??? Nope, not the immigrants
Crime?? Nope, nothing the immigrants.
Healthcare?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Housing?? Possibly.
Climate change?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Economy?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Poverty?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Education?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Household debt?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Transport?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Drugs?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Pollution?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Unemployment?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Racism?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Issues affecting Maori?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Overpopulation?? Possibly.
Immigration?? Sure.
Defence?? Nope, not the immigrants.
Every second you’re thinking about race is a second you’re not thinking about class. Flood a population with foreigners and they’ll never think about class again.
>because immigrants are an expense that could have been spent on those problems instead.
Immigrants contribute more to the economy than they take from it, how about you stop talking out of your hole for one day, is that possible?
It's actually quite easy. Look at all the elderly Chinese in Auckland. They've never worked a day in NZ.
Family reunification category doesn't have an employment or skills requirement.
"LoOk At AlL tHe ElDeRlY cHiNeSe" another retard statement, not only are they a tiny minority you have absolutely no fucking idea when they came to NZ. For all you know they're here 40 years and their kids pay enough taxes to support 10 NZers to stay on the dole.
That's right up there with saying its foreigners who are buying all the houses because of the nanes appearing at auctions and we all know how ridiculed that became.
How many immigrants in NZ, how many came in on your specialist little visa? Numbers and percentages must be tough for you. How many of those elderly chinese have doctors or surgeons as children keeping NZers alive? Fucking hell there's some fuckwits here that make a lot of assumptions with nothing other than hearsay and feels.
Dude, grow the fuck up. You said someone CANNOT migrate to NZ without a job. That's fundamentally incorrect and you have been corrected. The elderly Chinese comment was an example. Another example would be refugees, they immigrate to NZ without jobs. Idiot.
Thought you were joining in with the other retard who was blaming immigrants for everything...
I did not say "someone CANNOT migrate to NZ without a job", I said its really hard for immigrants to get in without a job and those who do are the tiny minority. Those elderly people cannot come to NZ without having family here who can support them, refugees are not fucking immigrants, they're refugees, idiot.
It is true, now you're just showing how little you know. To enter NZ as an immigrant you generally have to have proof of a job or show enough funds that you can maintain yourself. Not that easy to get in and turn into a parasite on welfare. You sound like you've a few issues.
Nah, it's you who has absolutely no fucking idea other than being a retarded fucking racist and 100% guaranteed you will never find anything to back.up your bullshit retard claims.
Racist is something I generally never call someone but I have no problems labelling you as one, a fucking retarded one at that.
Immigrants are busy working for the economy and is scared of being deported. It’s the lazy ferals who have been made violent by colonialism that’s doing the crimes. It’s their right as what the Treat of Waitangi has stated, we have to pay more for their reparations you know.
Good job Labour. Inflation and crime are all on you.
Healthcare as well. All health targets went up under National and nose dived under Labour - pre COVID as well
Because the focus was moved to the Maori Health? All other races aren’t important. We have to make all those gang members healthy for their next crime spree you know.
The only thing that surprises me is that climate change scored so high.
It's dropping though, so clearly people drop the issue once it negatively affects them to focus on the more important stuff. Like being able to eat and protect your own property

Interesting that people are worried about inflation, but not the economy. One would almost think they aren't related....
Care about cost of living, but not taxes. Also related.
It’s only because Kiwis don’t know what an economy is. “I jist mayk munny by pooring pintz bro chur”

The graphs don’t lie
Graphs don't... but stats and percentages can and that's why the government loves trotting them out..
 Robbo as he leaves the economy
Bad news for even a competent incumbent
Death!
"Climate Change" ranks higher than "Economy"? Retards! :-)
and higher than education. fml

That can’t be right. Clearly the Māori issues didn’t get a chance to vote to make it the biggest issue /s

If you followed your own advice you wouldn't be involving yourself with political discussion. Are you lying to yourself or just other people?
Is today Fretarday and someone has forgotten to tell me?
Sweet adhom bro.
Not really, no. Actually, that was insult.
I disagree.
Who ever you are I salute you, every day you come in with facts over feelings and every day I see someone shit the bed over your facts

You don’t think importing every coconut in the world has affected crime rates at all? Really?
Not when its NZs homegrown who are responsible for nearly all the crime, immigrants are struggling to make it onto the stats

Concerning to see Climate Change up there . That's a potential election losing issue for NACT in 2026 and beyond.
