Yes, geographically the portion of Ohariu that has been incorporated into Hutt South is senseless. It has apparently got something to do with the housing boom and population growth in the area. Otaki, I would have thought would have remained in the new Kāpiti boundary. That's annoying for you +

I have shady info about this - is this regarding borrowing money from his parents and some property dispute?

Apologies. Hadn't realised he had won that seat earlier. So he won another time when the Blue's surf was up, in the Key era. I think Ginny won in 2017, and then 2023. She's running again in 2026. Our old electorate (Ohariu) has been disestablished. We will be in the Hutt Sth electorate 4 election 26

Oh deary me. Aa an aside, I would need to ask does he really have deep roots in the Hutt?
Yes, he won a typically red seat in 2023 during the blue pushback.But. The Hutt itself always was union city back in the day before we lost manufacturing. Its never been a blue strong hold.

It really is poor form to not know electorates if you're writing about them.

I just stare out the window and gaze into the dying light, which is fine, but in saying that, I do have something saved up for a good sleep in lieu of a storm.

Thats awesome thanks Stinky. I *used* to know someone with a profile there and I just checked it. He's still there. He's a devious character. Might be him that's done this, although I have no reason why he would. Thanks again for the link.

Thanks. That's my guess too. I'm going to look for a report button. I'm not super worried, just a bit perplexed.

Yeah, it's weird. Those were my thoughts I don't know why anyone would do that.
Am considering next steps but it isn't too urgent right now.

Thank you for speaking to the councilors at the public submission stage. This is a huge kick on the guts for women like me who voted for AL. And then Chung getting away with the "hot mic" moment. He doesn't deserve to be in an influential position chairing the council owned assets committee.

Can't top what you just said. It's that simple and that dire.

Hopefully you'll have support around you when that time comes.😔
