Strategically switching to Opportunity to get National back in? They’ve SAID they will work with whoever gives them power. C’mon. If you want a left wing government, and need this bunch of incompetent chaos merchants out - vote Labour or Green. That’s it.

Does Labour councillor Ben McNulty know something the rest of us don't? Because until the rates capping legislation is actually law, councils don't need to be and shouldn't be making cuts. Are we to assume that a Labour Government will also pass this Bill next term? www.rnz.co.nz/news/regions...

Seriously. For anything. The media literacy people don't talk about enough is accepting in your heart that every single story based on a poll or survey is hot garbage and you should smash that close button immediately before it gets into your head.

The full-on Townsend-Moon hooter.
The green door rattled, opening inward a few inches. A blond forelock and one blue eye edged past it. This should've looked ridiculous, childish, but she found it frightening. "Hollis Henry," he said, his voice no longer tiny, gender restored. The rest of Bobby's head appeared. He had, as indeed had Inchmale, the true and archaic rock nose. The full-on Townsend-Moon hooter. She only ever found this problematic in males who hadn't become pop musicians; it seemed, then, in some weirdly inverted way, affected. It looked, to her, as though they'd grown large noses in order to look like rock musicians. More weirdly, perhaps, they all tended-certified accountants, radiologists, or whatever-to the flopping forelock that had traditionally gone with it, back in Muswell Hill or Denmark Street. This, she'd once reasoned, must be due in one of two ways to hairdressers. Either they saw the rock mega-nose and dressed the hair above it out of a call to historical tradition, or they weighed the issue in some instinctive, deeply hairdresserly way, arriving at that massive slash and heft of eye-obscuring forelock through some simple sense of balance.
Bobby Chombo hadn't much in the way of a chin, though, so perhaps it all was balance for that.

Labour neolibs still committed to their 1980s policies of transferring public assets into private hands eh. If NZTA have "spare land" on their books it should go back to the local iwi it was almost certainly originally stolen from. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

Labour to require NZTA to potentially give up spare land for petrol stations
It's part of a policy aimed at improving competition in the sector.
