While other Auckland areas saw turnout drop, voting numbers in Papatoetoe increased by more than 7 percent. All four seats went to first-time candidates from the Papatoetoe Ōtara Action Team. The result was inconsistent with historic voting patterns. None of the previous local board members of the Papatoetoe subdivision were re-elected.
not neseserily just this artical but over the past few months I have noticed RNZ with a number of articles along the lines of “10 steps to change party leadership” with their target firmly on Luxon.
This is probably the best idea I’ve heard in a while. The money is going to go into the KiwiSaver account anyway, if we put it in there 20 years earlier, it will accrue and compound interest from much earlier on.
The new plan from the government seems to double down on the old ways of attempting to suppress drugs in our communities and ignores the health-led approach from NZ Drug Foundation’s recent evidence-based report.
I haven’t been following the ins and out of all this but John Tamahere has a history of manipulative horrible bullshit so I’m inclined to believe Kapa-Kingi on this one.
Government ministers have confirmed they are considering measures to move homeless people out of Auckland’s city centre - but the exact details remain unclear.
NACT blamed the greens and protesters who opposed the Israeli genocide for this. Is there going to be any consequences of their violent rhetoric towards muslims and people who believe Palestinians are human beings?
“The books are not improving. And this surplus she talked about today, that’s a creative accounting trick. She changed the way the accounts were being measured… she keeps saying they’re getting better, it’s not true.”
David Seymour of course has full throated support for genocide and mass starvation of Palestinians. He is also a supporter of bombing of any and all Arabs and muslims anywhere in the world.
ACT's Simon Court accused MPs of bandying around "Hamas propaganda", described Chlöe Swarbrick's description of the situation in Gaza as "hallucinating outrage", and intimated that the UN agency UNRWA was "enabling terrorism".
At the start there is a clip where they focus on the bit that got her ejected but after that there is the whole speech leading up to that which is well worth a watch.
Given that Seymour is unable to tell the truth and given they haven't recognised Palestine in all these years I would bet this government will not actually go through with it.
