Labour and the Greens, come out with a really good solar policy which can get more solar on roofs, battery backups, a works program to get solar and battery in schools, hospitals, state housing. Yes it's not cheap but it's an investment for the next, 10, 20 years

Woohoo but thus begins the maneuvering for her seat.. does another opportunistic carpet bagger come in or does a local stand up, fuck me if Daniel tries to stand.

I'd be happy with a Labour/Greens Govt, NZF fascist, TPM too radical but the L/G may not get enough seats on their own unless they bring out more bold policies to energise the electorate.

When you learn that one of your ancestors owned Rangitoto Island for a time before it was either sold back? to Māori and subsequently purchased by the Crown

That medical hiring freeze still screwing over students who studied for 3 or 4 years to get qualified and fucks over the staff who are dealing with shortages and worsening mental health as they can't get more staff to ease the burden. Not just Nurses and Doctors that keep hospitals running.

I'm now getting a lot of local election candidate ads on Facebook now. Can they not target the area they are wanting to represent?

I live in Pukekohe so they're wasting their money, I've also seen Wellington candidates ads but only thought after the fact to screenshot.

Staff or not staff but isn't it still embarrassing for staff you employ to have to bat for you?

There's a four letter word that can best describe someone who think's this is the appropriate response from the Minister of Health towards health care workers wanting a fair deal.

Trump still acting like Putins lapdog, did anyone actually expect he'd rise above and pressure the Russian scum to give up their senseless war?

Interestingly enough a former colleague of mine is running for the Waitematā Local Board and Waitematā and Gulf Ward, they won't get it but good on them putting their name forward.

Not really much of a choice for me, either vote for the not National Party team or 2 independents that seem to lack any candidate presence.

Well took the first step to get involved with the party again after being largely absent since 2018, let's see how this goes.

Cheers, and thank heck for that, although looking at the local candidates running there is even less choice.

Goodbye Papakura, hello Pukekohe! while not a big move, it's nice to have four walls that I can call my own.

I'll be moving from a Tory area to another Tory area, hopefully some good lefties run for the Franklin Local Board.
