General election day in Aotearoa. High chance of a right wing government that has made cutting my disability funding into one of its election promises.
With everything that's happening in the world it feels stupid to even be upset about it, but I am.
Edit: and the result is in, we now have the most right-wing government we had in years, so worse poverty is on the cards now.
I'm glad you called it Aotearoa because I had never heard it called that before. Happy to have learned that today.
Hey, that's neat! Thank you for learning it!
Here is a good short video on how to pronounce Aotearoa if you want to try it!
I used Google but this seems a much more reliable guide, thanks :)
Yeah the next 3 years are gonna be rough ae
Yes super rough. It's not like anything was a picnic now, either. Genuinely scared.
