Billionaires internationally consistently interfere in democracy. Politicians are too weak to push them out. Obscene wealth of the few are a burden to every society. We won't be missed if they leave.

How about Peters being treated like any politician? Just because he's been in parliament too long doesn't give him the right to expect favourable treatment ffs. Kick him out of the house when he gets on his racist soapbox.
