The current government, voted in by idiots, pretty much guaranteed this

Why would people who have the option to go elsewhere stay when the National party are determined to make New Zealand a shittier place for everyone?

I'm disappointed. I thought NZ was better than this, but sadly, I know people who voted for this disaster,

They're fucking morons.

The ad killed the webpage on Android Chrome. Not like ads that are an annoying distraction- just nothing. A full white screen with "advertisement" labeled at the bottom and scroll for more that doesn't work.

Android Firefox with everything blocked and the website works.

I don't think the newspapers understand why their revenue keeps dropping.

Pretty sure you're the only one (or maybe a few) having that problem. I just tested and it works fine.

It was the one ad that was trying to be served. It's fine for me now too.

Hmm... usually countries expand immigration when faced with a situation like this. But considering the current political climate, I'm not sure: what will the gov't of NZ choose to do next?

There was a time when I think 1/4 of where I work (in AUS) were from New Zealand.
