Despite the numerous close calls neoliberalism has had, we haven't had a crisis that exposes the ideologies corrupt logic to the majority of voters. They've bent under its weight but the resilience of the middle classes in NZ has stood the ideology back up again like one of those self righting punching bags. Perhaps this is the moment when we will get to have this conversation with a majority sufficient to threaten governments. If we don't NZ will turn into a social zoo.
An important factor in whether this rubbish becomes long term government policy is what Labour, and specifically Mr Hipkins, says and does. So far, as best I am aware, he has offered to work with National over adaptation policy.
This is so utterly awful and heartless. Terrifying that this toxic ideology still has such a stranglehold on our lives.
Adaptation, not 'adaption'.

Neoliberalism is all pervasive, and that’s before the RSB gets enACTed
