After seeing the choices coming out of Wellington this week, imma say no thanks on behalf of the Hutt.

Don't do this Wellington!

Auckland Council has shown that super cities are a disaster for local democracy and local representation. Living in an outer area of Auckland, we have just 1 councillor among the 20. Local boards are meaningless boondoggles.

"Just following orders" was established not to be a defence in the Nuremberg Trials.

The NZDF should know this if they are sending people to assist Israel government and military charged with war crimes and a genocide.

The Te Tiriti content (which isn't introduced until Year 4) implies the English text was signed in Feb 1840, that the Māori text is a "translation", and that Te Tiriti was primarily a response to the Musket Wars. This is all nonsense.

The list of committee appointments for Wellington City Council. The council is supposedly more left than the previous one because it has more Labour and Green affiliated councillors, but I’m not sure that it will be in practice. Giving Ray Chung a committee chair role is certainly a choice.
