A Christmas Carol meme in The Simpsons form Mr Burns looking out his window: “you there, boy! What day is this?” Unknown boy in cockney accent: “today, sir? Why, it’s Christmas Day.”

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate, and may today be everything you want for those that don’t.

Wellington Mayoral candidate Pennywize has some interesting policy

Joanie Heslop from Muriels Wedding wearing tshirt that says Vote Bill Heslop You cant stop progress

In the famous words of Bill Heslop "You can't stop progress"

Signing date announced for final design contract for Wellington's Golden Mile Ground was broken back in April, despite construction contracts not being signed for the entire project.

My first preference will go to the mayoral candidate who will get this contract signed.

Those who refuse to sign it will be prefrenced to the bottom of the list.
