I'm planning a thread later this weekend on taking a human rights view on the budget, but the summary is this:
Successive New Zealand governments have failed to keep their human rights promises, falling into the 'bad' and 'very bad' ranges for most things we measure.

Any candidate talking about 0% rates increases is either being completely naive or misleading the public. That will almost certainly lead to cancelling important infrastructure projects AND community services. We’ve been forced into this due to underinvestment from previous councils & governments.
Local councils and the battle for money
Local councils have more effect on our daily lives than policies from the Beehive. But more than half of eligible voters fail to have their say on who represents them.
