Real NZ survey: Rural New Zealand feels forgotten as leaders vie for city votes

Reporter Sunday Star Times

Digging down into individual communities, our Sunday Star-Times-Neighbourly survey of more than 2000 New Zealanders reveals how city, provincial town and country voters' concerns differ in the election lead-up. It's not quite the rust-belt of the USA – but there is a strip of provincial New Zealand weaving its way up the country, looping around the big cities and wealthier luish green dairy country to take in provincial towns like Invercargill, Greymouth, Motueka, Palmerston North, Dannevirke, Hastings, Gisborne and, up noth, Whangarei and Kaitaia, and the farming districts that keep those towns alive.
