#nzpol What's in it for workers this election? Over the coming week, we'll be releasing a set of 13 policy scorecards for working people, so that you know where parties stand this election year. See how the parties stack up on Fair Pay Agreements, contractor law, and personal grievances:

NZCTU Policy Scorecards for Working People. Question: “Will you support higher wages by restoring Fair Pay Agreements in the first 100 days?” Results: Labour - Yes; National - No; ACT - No; Green - Yes; Te Pāti Māori - Yes; New Zealand First - No; Alliance - Yes; Opportunities Party - No. Green tick indicates Yes, red cross indicates No. Footer notes that National and ACT declined to answer questions on industrial policy, so scores reflect public statements and legislative history. Authorised by New Zealand Council of Trade Unions - Te Kauae Kaimahi. More information: union.org.nz/election-scorecards-26.

NZCTU policy scorecard titled “Policy Scorecards for Working People.” Question: “Will you protect workers by ending the mislabelling of employees as contractors?*” with a note: “*by reversing the Employment Relations Amendment Act 2026 changes.” Results: Labour: Yes; National: No; ACT: No; Green: Yes; New Zealand First: No; Alliance: Yes; Opportunity Party (TOP): No policy. Green tick indicates Yes, red cross indicates No. Footer notes that National and ACT declined to answer questions on industrial policy, so scores reflect public statements and legislative history. Authorised by New Zealand Council of Trade Unions - Te Kauae Kaimahi. More information: union.org.nz/election-scorecards-26.

There's 1 month left until Voter Enrolments close. Landlords, lobbyists, bot farmers, anti-vaxxers, real estate agents, and CEOs have enrolled to vote. But have your family, whānau, friends, colleagues, flatmates, or peers enrolled to vote? It's easy to enroll at vote.nz/enrolling #nzpol

Such a good reminder that the battle is as much about holding one's ground, as about winning. Standing for what you believe in. And, the more of us who stand together, the more likely we are to be able to stay upright, and – hopefully – keep moving in the ideal direction.

Chris Tse plans to ask us everything from what do you know about your next book before you start writing it to how do you know when it's done? And I want to know what he'll say too. If I wrote one of his poems I'd think it perfect after the first line but I'd also want to keep writing it forever.

This is so intriguing, now I want to talk about voltas in every novel I read with everyone who has read it! Except I wonder? I think I often take to a novel pretty much immediately? It is all about the sentences. Sometimes I take to a novel with a passion only to come to hate it before its end.
