The NZ Labour Party must provide hope to, and inspire, a generation of people.

If the policy options it will finalise at this weekend’s conference don’t do that, don’t provide a radical alternative and sense of optimism, people will continue to leave Aotearoa in droves.
Captures the mood of much of the country under this government - bleak, with a sense that everything is broken, that there is no opportunity for young people to get ahead, and that the government simply doesn't care.

Going out on a limb here to suggest that the PM doesn’t understand what it is that regional councils do

It’s hard not to believe that Luxon’s move to dump regional councils isn’t just another way to remove obstacles to rampant corporate profit making at our expense.

More emissions, more pollution more contaminated drinking water, more intensive dairy, more roads and less accountability.

NZ has had two major reforms of subnational government so far: 1876 and 1989

As the guy who literally wrote a book on the demise of that first system, *and* as someone who generally supports more unitary authorities, my considered opinion is that this proposal is completely insane
No more regional councils - major shake-up of local government announced
The government says it is not a power grab, but about "making local government fit for purpose".

I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

Who cut the $1000 Kickstarter? National
Who reduced the minimum contribution to 3%? National
Who reduced the member tax credit from $1040 to $521? National
Who then reduced the same member tax credit from $521 to $260.72? National.

Don't believe National on Kiwisaver.

With all the noise being made about the US/Russia peace plan the admin is trying to foist on Ukraine, it’s important to understand why the full-court press is happening right now. Why Orban is attempting to speak for the EU…

First world problem alert. Trying to find the right carpet to replace original 1960 teal axminster carpet in midcentury modern house. Everything wool is brown grey or greige. Very frustrating.
