Bit of biffo at Parliament today over sacked Labour minister Stuart Nash's return to the fray at the weekend. (@the_postnz blog post below) ICYMI: Check out my coverage of the NZ First convention where Nash pledged his alliegance to NZ First and floated a 2026 run below.
it strikes me as quite bad that the main competitor to Wayne Brown is signing up to the Taxpayer's Union rates pledges and going to David Seymour's NIMBY meetings
@ScootFoundation Good reply from @juliefairey - that’s literally housing for some of Auckland’s most vulnerable people. So disappointing
Got my ballot today for local elections! Weirdest feeling seeing yourself, and ticking your own name hahaha If you live in the Waitematā Local Board area vote City Vision for local board and Patrick Reynolds for councillor!
Wow @Scoot4Mayor "After the local candidates, the mayoral contenders trotted up to repeat the endeavour. Alex Baker was unavailable, Josh Hartford of the Silly Hat Party had to leave early, and Scott Caldwell was missing because he “lives in Auckland”." thespinoff.co.nz/politics/09-09…
Vote for who they want to lead their communities and support good things to happen, it doesn’t take long but it has a big impact on what happens and doesn’t happen in your community.
the great work we do or trying to do. Lol. But anyways, have a great Tuesday and look out for your voting papers, which should be arriving in your letterbox (that’s the thing on your front lawn or fence with numbers on it) this week. Encourage friends and whānau to vote!
Calming bus ride over the Waitematā, this morning after another candidate debate last night. 2 more to go. Unsure why I get so nervous before & wired afterwards when they’ve been so positive this campaign, it’s probably trauma from previous years or that I want people to know…
Voting papers for Auckland Local elections arrive in the mail from today! (should arrive by September 22!) Either mail em back, or drop off at supermarkets and libraries! And vote @CityVisionNZ for a better Auckland :) voteauckland.co.nz/en/information…
“Tax people who make more money while they are asleep than 99% of people who work” is such a good line. This is the way

If you want cool people in local government who want folks to have homes - vote! Voting starts Tuesday 9th September! cityvision.org.nz/our-people

Auckland's new transport regime: Local decision-making good (tho Simeon may be surprised), govt overreach bad, and is @MayorWayneBrown being taken for a bit of a ride? Bonus column today, @nzherald premium nzherald.co.nz/nz/five-big-qu…
Unless of course, you vote @CityVisionNZ in which case it will be better :)
Unless of course, you vote @CityVisionNZ in which case it will be better :)
Just a reminder that Simeon Brown, who claimed today he was for localism at the AT reforms presser, forced Councils across the country to raise speed limits if they were lowered because of schools, and whos ideological GPS defunded local projects disrupting construction pipelines
