When people say “you can’t beat Wellington on a good day” what they’re saying is “gosh, there’s no wind today” It’s so windy, so often in Wellington that when it’s NOT windy it feels strange and foreign to locals, like they’re not in Wellington, like they’re on holiday somewhere else.

#BHN Do people realise that David Seymour is a DEI hire? DEI is not just about "colour" In 2014 and 2017 Seymour did not win his seat based on the meritocracy ACT talks about so much. It was gifted to him by National DEI for me and not for thee, is that who ACT really are?
