166,000 young people (18-24) are still not enrolled. That’s basically the total votes for NZ First in the last election. Very well could decide the election if they enrol and vote. It’ll be guaranteed 4-5% for the left if they did all vote. rnz.co.nz/news/politics_elec…

"Timaru dad Shaun Todd says downplaying cancer treatment delays for sick children is a cruel blow to desperate families for whom days, or even hours, can mean the difference for their survival". Like I said yesterday - parents are horrified. Simeon Brown doesn't care. #nzpol

A key part of finding a job is confidence. Most beneficiaries do not have confidence. We degrade them with invasive questions and low trust. Poverty lowers your confidence. Being case managed lowers your confidence. They take a hit every time they walk in through the front doors.

The Council says the strategy is moving from commitments into practical action, with a focus on long-term outcomes for whānau, whenua and future generations. The big question now: how will that progress be sustained and measured over the years ahead? 👉 READ THE FULL STORY: waateanews.com/2026/10/10/ma… 💬 What other initiatives would you like to see councils introduce to support Māori communities and strengthen partnerships with mana whenua? #Maungaroa2050 #Porirua #PoriruaCityCouncil #NgatiToaRangatira #MaoriStrategy #MaoriDevelopment #ManaWhenua #TeReoMaori #TikangaMaori #MaoriBusiness #MaoriEconomy #PoriruaHarbour #EnvironmentalRestoration #Kaitiakitanga #LocalGovernment #Whanau #Aotearoa #RadioWaatea #WaateaNews

Realized over the past 24 hours that Dolly Parton may've been one of the few people left in the world that literally everyone liked. man/woman, old/young, black/white, Democrat/Republican it didn't matter. I kinda feel like this must be what it was like when Elvis died

🌿 The world's most beautiful word is Māori. Kaitiakitanga has been named the world's most beautiful word by an international language-learning platform, shining a global spotlight on the richness of te reo Māori and the powerful concept of guardianship, stewardship and caring for future generations. More than just a word, kaitiakitanga reflects a Māori worldview that connects people, whenua, moana and the environment through shared responsibility.

Today I learnt: For the Sci-Fi Horror film 'Event Horizon' Sam Neill requested that the Australian flag on his character's uniform remove the Union Flag from the corner & for it to be replacedwith the Aboriginal flag, the way he thought it should look in 2047.

Ministers were advised there were less expensive options & rushing ahead with the fossil fuel LNG terminal was not in NZ's best interests Officials also redacted advice showing there was a "low need" for it in the first place as National double down rnz.co.nz/news/politics/5978…
