    Life is good there.

    They don’t breed parasites, beneficiaries, losers and lawless thugs like in Aotearoa.

    They also don’t have state agencies like Kainga Ora breeding anti-social tenants who terrorise neighbours with impunity. And they sure as hell don’t have politicians spinning BS while wastefully squandering tens of billions of dollars delivering nothing!

    So in which country is your tropical beach paradise with an “international” school? Why don’t you leave miserable NZ now?

    In my own good time and on my terms.

    And are you seriously unaware of international schools operated by highly reputable and respected educational establishments in cities/countries where there are large expat communities? So their children can receive world class education to go to top colleges and universities in the West? Obviously not University of Otago or wtf they call themselves these days and falsely claim that they are rated in the top 1% of universities in the world.

    Sure international schools and access to the top universities comes at a cost. I am aware. So your tropical beach paradise is in Vietnam. In international comparisons of measure of quality of life, political corruption etc., NZ scores far in excess of Vietnam. However kudos for being wealthy enough to have a second home in a tropical beach paradise and have access to services that most of the local population cannot afford. You can choose whichever location pleases you at the time.

    There is much that can be improved in NZ. While not necessarily agreeing with all their policies, I appreciate that NZF and ACT really do want improvements and the best for NZ. Unfortunately your recent comments do not lend to themselves to the same conclusion.

    The Whitsundays are calling. You should relocate immediately and get away from the awful people here. Leave the parasites, losers, and lawless thugs and go.

    The people over the ditch will appreciate your warmth, caring and sympathy for those less able and fortunate. They will enjoy your tolerance of other views and your ability and readiness to engage in rational debate.

    I'm sure you will find it easy to make friends there and you will be able to live out your remaining days with warm and close human relationships while enjoying the spectacle as this sh!thole country and all the poor deluded souls in it sink further into the swamp of woke socialism.
