It doesn't help that MPs are treating her with the most underlying sexism "don't be silly little girl" energy I've seen directed at a leader of the *checks notes* third biggest political party. Ofc then the social media hate train follows ugh!

It's critical to remember we have NO civics education in New Zealand. Ppl do not necessarily know how MMP works, how a coalition works, or how to best make their vote reflect their values The more you can make talking about politics normal and chill, the more ppl feel they're allowed to be curious

Ay?? I had to check I'd heard them right... The Spinoff paid Curia to do their polling for their Mt Albert debate (live now). I would love some more information on how they are certain that "there is no Taxpayers’ Union involvement in this poll."
A note: The Spinoff really wanted to poll Mt Albert. We reckon it’s a key seat to watch this election, and as residents in the electorate, we’re super . Some months ago, we spoke to a range of polling companies about what we wanted and when and it was Curia who could deliver all the elements. Curia has proven an accurate polling company over many years, it follows the ESOMAR/ICC Code of Practice and the NZ Political Polling Code, and polls for a number of organisations, including National, and most recently, Whakaata Māori. There is no Taxpayers’ Union involvement in this poll.

The central tulip features a striking cup shape with broad petals that showcase a bright orange hue along their upper edges.
