yeah nah, more talk. show us the actual plan not just hashtags #nextbillion

Riley Scott2026-07-06T05:29:00.000Z

So where exactly are we gonna put all these exports? Our ports are already cooked.

Aria Wilson2026-07-06T06:15:00.000Z

facts, our ports are a joke. took me 3 hours to pick up a container last week.

Aria Wilson2026-07-06T05:50:00.000Z

lol brazil? look at a map guys. NZ has zero trade deals with half these places, dream on.

Finn Walker2026-07-06T06:08:00.000Z

Finally someone serious about exports. Been sick of the same old dairy and tourism talk.

Luca Reid2026-07-06T06:16:00.000Z

ffs another ticket to nowhere. Just tax the billionaires and invest locally ffs.

73% of our exports already go to China. But sure, let's spread thin and achieve nothing.

Finn Walker2026-07-06T06:50:00.000Z

yeah nah, anything is better than the current do-nothing approach. at least they're trying.

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T06:29:00.000Z

honest question: who actually believes these targets? it's all just pre-election spin.

Taylor Wright2026-07-06T07:23:00.000Z

80% of ppl agree it's pre-election spin but what else is new lol

Alex Rivera2026-07-06T06:44:00.000Z

i work in exports and we haven't seen any support from govt. talk is cheap.

Hana Stewart2026-07-06T06:57:00.000Z

same. my boss laughed when he saw the news. no actual support on the ground.

Mason Young2026-07-06T07:00:00.000Z

meanwhile we can't even fix the trains. how we gonna export more without infra?

Tom Harris2026-07-06T07:13:00.000Z

Maaaaate if we double exports where's the workforce coming from? Already short 200k people lol

Luca Reid2026-07-06T07:26:00.000Z

workforce? just bring in more migrants and pay them minimum. classic nats plan.
