If you want, you can be a regular supporter of me stitching for my sanity. I have memberships on Kofi for $5 a mnth. I’ll post updates on pieces I’m working on & new pieces I’ll be trying. As a chronically ill person who can’t work, every bit helps. 💗 #CrossStitch #Kikorangi ko-fi.com/ciaraaxstitch

NZ First isn't releasing their party list until the electoral commission requires them to, avoiding media scrutiny on their lower ranked candidates. It's looking likely we're going to get some real fringe characters in the next parliament
