James, 1936 Labour are the reason you only work 8 hours instead of 14. They're the reason housing was increased after WWII. They're the reason you have free healthcare paid through others and your own collective taxes. They're the reason you get subsidies from WINZ if you become unemployed. That IS Socialist policy. This old trope of "Socialism bad, Capitalism good" is a fallacy. The reason we HAVE an economic divide so large now is because Capitalists would rather prioritize profit over employee pay rises, or take cheap workers from other countries instead.

The problem is with these great places is people want to go there for what it is but as soon as they arrive they want to change it to the place they just came from.

@Gary Lewis thats part of being a migrant you leave home, and make home away from home. Kiwi's have to be quick and adapt and move with the times, be innovative. The internationals I have personally spoken to when I used to live in Nz, and ones I met abroad. Their common views is Nz is behind the times and slow. They will walk over Kiwi's to get ahead. In their home country it's competitive they fight to get ahead and it's the norm for them (particularly Asian, India etc..) And you can bet when they reach Nz they won't change. And it gets a little worse when they are successful in their career and they have a mortgage on their first house, they'll compare themselves with Kiwi's this is what I've achieved in this amount of time and your still renting? I think you get the picture.

Yes the sound is not great, yes the quality is not great, It was made nearly 60 yrs ago. Also New Zealand is still beautiful. People come to visit from all over the world and marvel at the beauty and the friendliness of the people. It seems not many of those people are commenting here.

‘People come to visit from all over the world and marvel at the beauty and the friendliness of the people’ . . . i), The problem is that too many of these visitors were allowed to migrate permanently, thus irrevocably changing the culture and character of the nation, ii), New Zealanders haven’t been particularly ‘friendly’ in decades, and iii), what the hell mind-altering euphoria-inducing substance are you on anyway, datura?? 🙄

Being the first house built in our street, the builder picked the highest point on a solid base. We watched houses around us literally sinking into the ground, while our home never even got the dreaded liquefaction. The guy that built the house either had a few clues or just picked lucky!

Close to the sea yet close to a mountain with a lovely little lake nestled near the top surrounded by beautiful Bush. Tourists don’t know where we exist. 😂
