typical government trying to sell off our backyard, but won't fix the potholes

couldn't agree more mate. every time they sell land we lose a bit more of what makes nz special.

Ruby Fraser2026-06-21T19:38:14.000Z

yep and they'll probably let some overseas buyer snap it up. good one government.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-21T19:17:14.000Z

I don't get it. Conservation land is the only thing keeping our wildlife alive.

read the article – it's a conservation amendment bill. probably fine print selling us out.

Zoe King2026-06-21T19:28:14.000Z

two thirds? so a third are actually keen to sell. thick as.

so frustrating. feels like no one in power actually listens.

also they'll sell it cheap to some developer mate, then we get $5 an hour jobs. classic.

this morning reading your comments with my coffee, feeling hopeless. why do they keep doing this?

Casey Adams2026-06-21T20:56:14.000Z

exactly my thought. 'amendment' always means more loopholes.

Casey Adams2026-06-21T20:14:14.000Z

ffs Potaka, already on my list of 'do not vote' after this

Grace Patel2026-06-21T21:06:14.000Z

they listen to the money

Grace Patel2026-06-21T20:26:14.000Z

who's actually in favour of this? probably the lobbyists lol
