The good news is Australia will make basically the same choice next week.
I used to correspond with a couple of Company expat friends that left the US for Sydney. They used to get together sometimes and party in NZ once in awhile. They disappeared during the insane Covid lockdowns. I think the globalist Jacinda Ardern had something to do with it.
Man, they vanished like a fart in the wind, no trace. I doubt they went walkabout, they were city boys. Australia and NZ have been gone for awhile.
I had property on Niue, an island territory of NZ, and was going to expat there. The accident and subsequent divorce in 2013 kyboshed that plan. Biden's Trans Pacific Partnership, or whatever it was called, allowed NZ to seize the property and give it to indigenous islanders. It wasn't worth fighting for.
