Mark bought pumpkin pie from the American Bakery last week and apparently I need a reminder every 3 years ago that despite liking the IDEA of pumpkin pie, I do not in fact LIKE pumpkin pie.

If any other political party pulled what Nats have on Kiwisaver this week and the comments on the regulatory standards bill, they would have been raked over the coals given their history. No one would have made it out alive from the news cycle.

This is absolutely amazing. Like. We need to shout from the rooftops and tell vaccine success stories like this. (All vaccines are success stories, but it's not as easy to illustrate how verifiably life saving they are.)

Is says repeat 24 rows, but should it be row 8-24? Since it follows from row 8? It would mean no more increases until after rows 1-7?

Sorry to rain on the outrage parade but seriously, at the core of all of this is a fundamental distrust in MMP
Treating electorate MPs as "real MPs" vs list MPs as "not really elected" is a framing that undermines proportional representation
