Let me get this right, Labour think 16 year olds should be able to vote in local elections, but not general elections? What's the logic? If you think a 16 year old is sufficiently capable of understanding in local government elections, I fail to see why you would exclude them from general elections.

Hipkins also promised to restore election-day enrolment, something the coalition Government abolished, and said 16- and 17-year-olds would be given the right to vote in local elections

Yeah nah. A strategy that can remove Brownlee, Willis, Goldsmith and Bishop (if he loses his electorate) from Parliament has no flaws.✊ I'm voting for a Labour candidate to remove an incumbent National MP, but Labour will NEVER EVER get my party vote.✌️ #PartyVoteGreen #OneTermGovernment #nzpol

today's legal complaint against NZ for breach of climate rules under EU trade agreement is a high-stakes case. NZ's Coalition govt is predictably using nationalism (foreigners can't tell us what to do) to divert attention from NZ not being fair in trade www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz/2026/09/30/n...

My position on why the EU- NZ trade agreement complaint’s so serious- we can’t have it both ways - we can’t claim to be honest brokers on a world stage while at home we’re not keeping to the fair climate/sustainability rules we expect our trade partners to also stick to www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Meeting our Paris commitments is written into our Free Trade Agreements with the European Union and the United Kingdom. Farmers and exporters rely on that market access, and they deserve a Foreign Minister who checks what withdrawal would put at risk before he promises it.
