That's a handy 'tidbit'. Making the banks pay for paywave is *much* better than Nationals policy imo. #nzpol
Williams even revealed an extra tidbit to The Spinoff. Though it wasn’t part of the headlines handed out to the media, Labour plans to ban paywave fees as part of its new policy, putting the fees to use the service back on banks and credit card companies rather than small businesses. “Consumers should pay the sticker price, not extra charges at the till,” she said in a statement.

Williams is sometimes touted as a future Labour leader, and she probably eclipsed the current one in Māngere yesterday.

Conversation between Harry Mowbray and Sean Plunket provides some interesting insights. Amongst other things, wonder how much O'Brien was paid... #nzpol
Mowbray answers that he runs the campaign as an individual. He says the group first considered operating as an organisation, but the Electoral Act would have stopped them saying what they wanted to say, whereas an individual faces fewer limits. He concedes that he lacks third party status and explains the word "we" by saying friends help him around the edges. He describes his spending as very small. The group had first sought roughly $400,000 to $500,000 at a meeting at a large property, but once it grasped the legal constraints he decided to fund the campaign himself within the $17,000 limit for individuals, and he promises not to exceed it. He says he pays no commercial organisation or consultant now, though he did pay Annie O'Brien when the group first employed her, before the plan changed. He denies that any other organisation is involved, says he has talked to Jordan Williams and hosted him for lunch a few times, and insists he has never visited the Taxpayers' Union office. He adds that his son, who appears in Hager's book on pages 109 and 110, barely knew of the union. He attributes the earlier confusion to naivety about the Electoral Act, saying O'Brien and Steven Franks flagged the problems. He has not heard from the Electoral Commission and says he would welcome its guidance on how to avoid a breach.

Debt is the headline. But what about assets and net worth?
The Government is totally focused on running surpluses (profits) and reducing net debt, but doesn’t talk much about the Government’s assets and net worth. They show a more rounded and much healthier position than the Government likes to paint.
