Under Doocey's watch the Woodend Bypass has become the dead-end bypass... 😬
With the cost-of-living biting, I’ve compiled a list of some awesome free or cheap school holiday activities to enjoy over the school holidays. You can find more details on the Kidsfest website in the comments.
There's only 5 days left to submit on the Climate Change Response (Tort Liability) Amendment Bill. This Bill would prevent lawsuits against companies for climate-changing emissions like the Mike Smith case. Submission link in the comments. #nzpol

Last year, 155,000 New Zealanders did not collect medicine they’d been prescribed because they couldn’t afford it. People who don’t collect their prescriptions are 30% more likely to end up admitted, costing the health system far more than the $5 ever saved.

Budget 2026: Rent increase for 84,000 social housing households...
I thought as we approach the budget in NZ Music Week I would identify some songs that capture how the government is doing 🙂. Have you got a better idea than this one...?
There's some great bills coming through the House at the moment, thanks to hardworking Labour MPs. 😁
Te Kaha One New Zealand stadium opens today. 🥳 A great win for Christchurch. Remember to plan your transport if you are in the city tonight, as it will be heaving! 😁
