First mistake. The Mayor is one vote, and every Councillor at that table has their own democratic mandate. You're the chair, not the boss.
Auckland's new mayor has arrived at his office, saying he expects councillors to follow his line.

imagine being a chinese visitor having to pass a negative test only to arrive and see that nobody was masking, nobody had air cleaning or adequate ventilation, and nobody had received a booster for nearly a year
Duty Minister Stuart Nash said NZ is assessing the situation after Australia announced mandatory negative Covid testing for Chinese visitors: "New Zealand has a public health risk assessment under way which will be completed in the next 24 hours."

Pretty wild that ACT can campaign on raising income tax on everyone earning under $50k in order to cut taxes for everyone wealthier, and somehow get away with it.

The real risk to Wellington's character is the loss of so many students and low-income renters who'll have to flee the city just to make rent. I don't think we yet realise what impact this will have on the vibrancy of our city, our communities, and even businesses.

Why does any New Zealander need an AR-15?

In Nicole McKee’s draft legislation (which has not been discussed or adopted by Cabinet) it would take around 5 years for someone who has never owned a gun to get a license and “graduate” to accessing an AR-15

Utterly cruel politics from Chris Bishop and Andy Foster.
This is all about fearmongering, not safety or fairness. This is about punishing community sporting organisations for being inclusive spaces, and punishing trans women for daring to participate in life.
Sad news out of New Zealand. The new government, which is more conservative than previous governments, announced that it will make a priority to ban transgender people from all publicly funded women's sports.
A reminder that anti-trans panic is global.

This woman supports ACT because she's not a fan of South Africa's attempt at "co-governance" (usually and more accurately known as 'ending apartheid').
Seymour had a supportive crowd as he talked about inflation and the cost-of-living crisis near Christchurch - and dismissed those with outlandish theories on the Government.

Yeah one of these statements is adequate and builds to peace, the other two are craven statements that ignore years of Israeli oppression & subjugation of Palestinians.
Where was their condemnation every time Palestinian civilians were murdered and evicted by the Israeli state?
Spot the difference:
UK: ‘I am shocked by this morning's attacks by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens.’
Canada: ‘Canada strongly condemns the current terrorist attacks against Israel.’
NZ: ‘NZ is deeply concerned at the outbreak of conflict between Israel and Gaza.’
