People love to say you’re 27, you’re Gen Z, run on that.
I’m a veteran, a former nuclear reactor supervisor, and a community advocate. I supervised a nuclear reactor plant on a warship before I could even rent a car.
I’m running on policy and experience, not a stereotype. I am more than just 27.

It’s called “executive style,” and it’s a deliberately sloppy or at least careless way executives write to their reports. I’ve seen it as a communications consultant, but of course it might vary across industries.

After announcing its capital gains tax plan the party has hit its highest poll number since 2022 - but not quite high enough to cut Te Pāti Māori out of the equation.
