***A push to legalise all drugs in New Zealand hasn’t come from stoners and the strung out - it’s backed by 155 academics and experts who say the current regime doesn’t work ***

National will never do anything like this. Even weed. A total non-starter.
Yes, but don’t let the National party be the limit of thinking about what’s possible. They won’t be in govt forever
It is very rare to only get one term. So we’re looking at another 6 years, minimum.
It’s going to feel like forever 😉
Yeah but that’s not forever. Big shifts like this don’t always happen over night, they often take years of groundwork so you gotta dare to dream in the meantime.
Sidenote, this govt being one term is entirely possible. It’s where labour/nz first was heading before covid and they decided to actually act and materially do things.
I think we’ll see an increasingly oscillating political landscape as our various crises pile up (climate change, cost of living, infrastructure deficit), and govts fail to actually do anything to address them in any meaningful way.
Yup true, true
Even with a labour led government doubt much will be done, I was really hopefully for labour to actually do something, not just about drugs but also about housing and a land tax. They did really well through COVID but apart from that it was a lot of promises and a lot of not doing anything. Kinda odd they chose 3 waters as their thing though, considering how unpopular it was with some people.
Of course. They want more people in prison.
