Any party willing to put NACT back in power after all the anti Māori, anti women, anti queer people, anti environment and anti democracy shenanigans of the last 3 years is not serious and not worth voting for.

INCREDIBLY bad faith headline & piece of coverage by RNZ they haven't changed the policy - looks like it was a literal typo & that the numbers themselves are sound aside from the nasty coverage, always amusing to see that rightwing parties never get treated like this even with FAR worse mistakes

Even (or especially) in hard times with constrained resources, cities need to embrace change and things to look forward to. Predatory delay from political opposition & poor delivery helped kill the Golden Mile, but it was this council that actually did it. We should expect more.

💯👇 The thing about fetishizing rules and decorum and institutions is that it depends on a tacit conspiracy - a social contract, if you will - that everyone plays the game by the same rules, and there's consequences if you don't. When players start saying "LOL, fuck you, make me" it fails.
