What gets my goat is these protesters are flouting the law. What makes matters worse is that the NZ police huff and puff and tell everyone that the protester’s actions are illegal and that they have police in numbers to curtail any illegal actions.
What really happens is that the protesters thumb their noses at authority and do what they want. Meanwhile the police, after all their warnings, either escort the protesters or look in the opposite direction and whistle as though ‘nothing is happening here’. This appears to be blatant anarchism yet nothing is being done. What precedence is this setting?

First a tax system that is badly skewed to benefit the rich. On the one end people are being taxed from the first dollar they earn (other countries don't tax the minimum amount required to survive), and on the other end there is no capital gains tax (for many rich people money, shares, art, property is the biggest income). I'm happy for the rich to be rich - but how come someone on a low income with a family to support might have to pay more tax than someone who is living off his considerable wealth? Or as a "VIP" once said: "Only poor people pay tax".
Now they want to ditch the garbage tags. Being German I recycle extensively, compost, buy sustainably if I can afford it - so I fill a bin about every 8-10 weeks. Why should I subsidise those who produce a lot of garbage whose removal has to be paid for by the community?
Next they want to introduce a rate for being connected to electricity. Maybe $40 per month - with additional charges for how much you use. Allegedly it would be cheaper - but nobody can tell me why it would be cheaper. And it would completely destroy any incentive for private households to install solar - what's the point if you have to pay $40 for the privilege of being connected anyway? Less solar means more CO2. How does that square with the goal of becoming carbon neutral?
Instead of harnessing personal responsibility and the desire to save money, everything seems to become a buffet for everyone - where nobody wants to be "taken advantage of" so nobody saves and holds back because - lets face it - people tend to get greedy.
These decisions fly in the face of not just fairness, but common sense. You really have to wonder how politicians arrive at them. Only thing I can think of is if they got incentives …

The Henderson Streets for People trial was launched in May and included a traffic flow plan, which redirected traffic to Alderman Drive, artwork at the intersection of Great North Rd, Railside Ave and Ratanui St, a trial of bus-only lanes, and “safe shared paths” for people on bikes and scooters.
The trial was opposed by many locals and business owners, with two protests and an online petition of more than 5000 signatures.
At the time, residents labelled the trial a “nuisance” and said the changes had caused traffic “chaos”.
How do you feel about the cost of the project?
