I’m delighted to announce I'm standing as the Labour candidate in Wellington Bays/Rongotai in 2026. I'm thrilled to fight for better jobs, housing, and health services in our community. Look in the bio to donate, volunteer, and help us deliver a better government next year.

couple of points;

the longer you take to start, the more the cost is going to go up because this shit never gets cheaper.

the best time to do this is in a time of economic downturn, because it's stimulus, and you dont want to be affecting business when things are humming, do you?

Mitchell's pack of lies about the emails is starting to unravel.

"He has also maintained that the 36 complaint emails sent to him were diverted by police staff seconded to his ministerial office under a protocol set by Coster, meaning neither he nor his political advisers saw them."

Stevenson said the country would see "really rapid increases in poverty" if it did not tax the rich.

"I think if you don't do anything, if you leave the system as it is, then wealth inequality will increase very rapidly.

This regime is ratfucking our democracy. They are giving just 11 days for submissions on the Fast-track Approvals Amendment Bill. The changes would give ministerial powers to dictate outcomes while removing the right to submit on or challenge decisions in court.
