This monster has cheated death twice this year
First with FIP over new years, and then hepatitis a couple of weeks ago
Was a rescue, along with her sister, found young and pregnant
So she's already been through about half of her nine lives 😅

Even The Guardian is wtf 😅

The results of the referendums were split down urban-rural lines – six of the seven cities required to vote supported Māori wards, while rural regions skewed heavily towards disestablishing them.

"One in seven Kiwis believe violence may be needed to 'get country back on track', survey finds"

That doesn't sound right...

"The Taxpayer Union - Curia poll interviewed 1000 adults"

Ohhhhhh there's the kicker

I voted in the Māori ward for the first time this year, and thankfully not for the last time
Pretty sad to see people literally rejoicing the removal in other areas though, a little bit of research instead of relying on sound bites, would have gone a long way 😓
