Counterpoint: All potential NZ government parties can in fact afford whatever they want to prioritise. They have massive capacity for investment and the financial position of the country, despite what the current Government likes to cry, is totally fine.
Spend money to make NZ better!
![[Scene is at sea - we see Odysseus’s ship sailing past an island]
NARRATOR:
And next on his Odyssey
Sir Christopher Nolan led his followers
[We see that instead of Odysseus it is CHRIS NOLAN captaining the ship]
Past the Island of X
Inhabited by People Who Criticise Films From Just Watching The Trailer
[Show a load of guys on the rocks of the island, all tapping away on their phones]
They were led by their King,
the Musk.
The Musk stayed up all night in his cave
[Show a giant Elon Musk hunched over his computer at night in a cave, tapping away]
Posting comments about how he thinks Lupita Nyong’o is the wrong colour to be Helen of Troy, who wasn’t real
But Sir Christopher was immune to the song of the people of X
because he famously didn’t have a smartphone.
NOLAN [at the front of his ship, bellowing into the storm and waving his Nokia brick phone]:
I DON’T EVEN HAVE EMAAAAIL
[Narrator again]:
And he turned to his followers
NOLAN [turning to all the guys on his ship, all Nolanbro types, looking at their phones]
MEN!
Put down your mobile telephones! Do not listen to the sirens of X!
[Intense, Nolan-style close up on Nolan’s big, serious face]
NOLAN:
Some people will not like my big serious film…
But some people will like it...
and that’s fine.
[Ship sailing into the distance]:
MEN:
Hurrah!
