    Is this is as good as it gets in New Zealand? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/18/new-zealand-library-auckland-hiding-cracks-case-missing-books

    After 9 years of National-led governments that don't care about
    increasing poverty - there are still some New Zealanders that are not
    as heartless - good on the libraries!

    How is it that those who live rough (for a variety of reasons. Poverty being just one of them) stashing books so they can read them be a reflection on the National government. You've been asked on many occasions exactly what Labour did during their last
    term to correct the imbalance. But typical of your trolling ways you have NEVER
    answered that question. The same as you refuse (along with Labour and the Greens) to give a definition of what you consider to be poverty. On top of that
    can you tell us by
    how much 'poverty' dropped while Labour was in government? I can tell you Rich:
    It INCREASED! Because Labour doesn't have any solutions to people making bad life choices!

    If Winston accepts the baubles Labour have offered him and he decides to let them form a government you can bet your little cotton sox the number in poverty
    at the end of their eighteen months in government will exceed those now considered to be in
    poverty.
