So what exactly was urgent about this?

[–] eagleeyedtiger@lemmy.nz 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nothing. They're probably trying to make the upcoming budget look better.

This government is trying really hard to be the first single term government in a very long time. I'll be very disappointed if kiwis don't oblige them.

I really hope so.

I would like to see TOP get in they only got 2.22% See table last time; but I think we need voices of reason in our system. And for how much they spent; it is a very good result.
