Given that 80% of government funding has gone to private sector under Simeon Brown as Minister, your life very much COULD depend on it.

I've just been a Middlemore Hospital and saw a poster that read 'I'm voting for health in 2026'. Go the staff!

When you look at what National have implemented (and not implemented) while in government, it is obvious they don't give a sh*t about low and middle income New Zealanders.

Data centre on Auckland’s waterfront was not on my bingo card this election

No other finance minister in my lifetime canceled a ferry contract by text, resulting in almost $1 Billion costs to NZ (and still counting)
Luxon says Willis is the best Finance Minister New Zealand has ever had. Being out of New Zealand for the English and Cullen terms is no excuse for flagrant lying.

In 2020, then National leader Judith Collins faced criticism after it was uncovered party supporters had appeared to be strategically placed during a campaign walkabout in Ponsonby. NZ First leader Winston Peters described it at the time as “rent-a-crowd” nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e…

Not the first I've heard of National having supporters act like ordinary members of the public for staged conversations with Luxon in front of the media. And poor old Mahesh Muralidhar, he really has the reverse Midas touch eh?
A leaked message in a group chat for supporters of the National Party’s Tāmaki candidate Mahesh Muralidhar shows supporters have been instructed not to wear blue so they can “engage organically” nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/e…

So National wants its members to hide their allegiance so they can pretend to be not politically aligned. This is how Labour members campaign in public.

Kiwis families can now be paying almost $6,000 extra per year compared to three years ago. New Zealand can’t afford another three years of National when they promised to fix the cost of living put more in everyone's back pocket in whats turned out to be a blatant lie and con job.

This is an incredible image of the skies above New Zealand. Both beautiful and a little chilling. Astrophotographer and teacher Brendan Larsen spent 2 hours taking 578 photos of one section of the sky above Mt Taranaki to see how satellites are changing our night skies.
