Bio

Kia ora I was born during the Government of Robert Muldoon. I have observed the neoliberal market economic reforms that the Government of David Lange with the help of Richard Prebble and Roger Douglas; later Jim Bolger and Ruth Richardson enacted. 100,000 jobs lost in New Zealand, state infrastructure and institutions gutted; continuously increasing cost of living and associated problems (crime, homelessness, a brain drain overseas) and a relatively select few doing very well whilst the majority struggle. It doesn't need to be like this. I write about the problems that neoliberalism has caused and continues to cause, but also about the potential solutions and the anticipated outcomes if Aotearoa was brave enough to try them. Nga mihi.
