Fair enough, I respect that. I think what gets me is it doesn't have to be this way but yeah, you gotta take it day by day.

Yikes, I'll think I'll have one too.
Mate, that's a long day
Seems that way
Cool, we get to watch an national/act government tonight, a no vote in Australia overnight and a genocide tomorrow
I feel this will just breed resentmint
I think it's a huge conflict of interest when it's MPs' own properties. Essentially taxpayer funds are supporting the accumulation of untaxed capital gains for every MP who does this. Its yet another example of why our housing policy is so borked when those elected to make the rules are so compromised in multiple ways.
I like your idea of KO building purpose accommodation for MPs.
Oh you're one of those guys. Well vote for Labour then, the policies have a chance to influence while not providing your direct support
Student dorms, two to a room with random assignment across parties to encourage maximum sitcom-esque situations like drawing a line down the middle of the room
Agree, I was talking generally there but my overall point was - it sounds like the kinds of things you're after are Greens policy, so you should vote for the Greens :)
Well hey, if it's consistent with your values and what you want out of a political party why not? The beauty of our electoral system is you don't have to just vote for Labour or national. Yes one of them will be in govt but the more votes the minors get the more they can push for things
Govt should just build a big apartment building near Parliament and they can stay in that while in Wellington. If MPs want to live somewhere else they pay for it themselves
It's going to be harder for us than it needs to be, and in turn for next generation too. But I get what youre saying
