If we are serious about the economy, building a better future, we need to own up, acknowledge and address division. Division is economically and socially corrosive.
The battles include young vs old, homeowner vs those aspiring, haves vs have-nots, landlord vs renter, rural vs urban, Māori vs non-Māori, respect/disrespect for the law and business owners vs workers. Division and a new government brought protests in December 2023, following protests against the previous government. I suspect there is a lot more to come in 2024

When you’ve got people like these three running the joint….
… the Upton Sinclair quote jumps to mind:
They are *men* who have gained power by taking advantage of our divisions.
