"Laser-focused"

Another week, and so another day of weather warnings, power cuts, slips, and likely flooding. Meanwhile, the government is steadfastly refusing to do anything about climate change, which is driving all this. Instead, they seem to be doing everything they possibly can to make things worse.

These weekly "1 in 100 year" weather events are costing us a fortune. But the government is still resisting making the polluters pay. Instead, they're "laser-focused on the cost-of-living" - of large, polluting industries who donate to them. As for the rest of us, if your house gets flooded, you're on your own. And if you have to move as a result, the government will stop you from voting.

Contra their propaganda, this is not "a government that focuses on what matters to [New Zealanders]". Instead they're just looting the country, while everything goes to hell in a handbasket. The quicker we kick them out of office, the better.
