Without getting into private info Balance, is there a point where you’d consider leaving NZ or supporting your kids/friends etc to do so?
And without getting too much more into private infor Entrep, I (or rather my partner and I) have bought our holiday home by one of the most beautiful beaches imo in the tropics - clean, powdery white sandy beach kissed by warm clear ocean waters and the beach township/city is fully serviced with all the amenities anyone could possibly need. It obviously doubles as a proper residence as well but that's another story for another time. Some posters here get all angsy or angsty when I posted that fact a while ago so that tells you more about them than me?
Meanwhile, how many NZers are migrating? Well, record numbers - 81,200 in the year to April 2024 and a net 56,500. That's the equivalent of the whole of Nelson's population plus 3,600 leaving NZ permanently.

Blood on their hands.
And there will be a number of other Maori kids getting hidings and living in grim conditions but we never hear about because they are not murdered.
Not PC to say but child absuse is a real problem in ‘Maoridom’. The majority are good loving parents etc, but they, as a group, are massively over represented in the child abuse stats.
Poverty, alcohol, drugs, promiscuity … all lead to a recipe for disaster. But rather than figuring out practical things to try to address it, successive governments have done F all. And, if anything, the precious governments race-based policies seem to have made things even worse.
Meanwhile the Maori parties solution is to have a separate Parliament.
Just breaks your heart really.
We have started to set in motion plans to move to Ireland within 2 years. I don’t like where NZ is headed and it will get worse before it gets better (if it ever does get better).
My son and I are dual Irish citizens and my wife can ride our coat tails to get in. Don’t even need to fill in any application for her, just turn up and tell immigration she has come to live. After 3 years she can become an Irish citizen too.
There is a turn around for NZers to head to Ireland for its comparative political stability. Though Northern Ireland is heading closer to reunification, which will then be Ireland’s turn to deal with the DUP! Stock up on merino jumpers before you go! Every now and again the other EU countries baulk at their low corporate tax. Maybe the nationalist wave sweeping the continent may mean alignment is less likely, or maybe even competition as more countries out compete each other to attract multi-nationals.
It might not be PC but it is bloody true and like you say its really quite heart breaking. The problem with the PC aspect, is that we can't really talk about it and find solutions... because there really is not a problem.
Also quite a few whiteys think that "giving the missus the bash" is some kind of made up thing. It is not. Thats also heart breaking. It happens so much more than we want to admit.
Yea the unreported assaults on women and children are massive. The average kiwi would be shocked if they knew the half of it.
And I agree, so long as we are not allowed to call out the elephant in the room due to it not being PC enough…then there is no hope of establishing lasting solutions.
And I don’t pretend to have all the answers, nor do I underestimate how challenging it must be…all I know is that the ‘solutions’ by successive governments over decades have made jack diddly squat difference.
Do you know how much of the difference is due to economic and social circumstances? I wonder what the difference in rates of abuse is, once you strip out wealth and income levels, parental age and relationship status differences from the ethnic comparisons.
What is the average propensity to child abuse for a poor, under 25yo solo parent of Māori and for non-Māori backgrounds, for example? Knowing that will then help direct attention to the most needed areas, whether Māori or non-Māori.
Yes, poverty etc is a key contributor.
But rather than try to address the underlying cause, there has been an attempt to take the lazy option which is just implement race based policies. And they do not work.
Baby Ru never should have been returned to the mother. Mustafa was on police and OT radar from a month old but they did nothing.
Moko was another tragic case. Known to OT but ended up being stomped to death.
The list goes on.
I don’t have all the answers, but all I do know is having ideological policies that put ethnicity over safety are a recipe for disaster.
