Real NZ survey: Rural New Zealand feels forgotten as leaders vie for city votes

​Whangarei local Cherry Daly has been underwhelmed by the main parties' responses to her friends' and neighbours' concerns. She's attended candidate meetings and doesn't believe they understand the issues particular to her town. Gangs and P, she says, are the big ones. If the government addressed those, it would solve the downstream issues of housing, poverty and truancy.

"It's almost like the candidates are fighting the battles in the big cities and the regional areas are being overlooked."
