I made a video on exactly how the opposition can win, based on strategies from Labour's own 2017 messaging strategist Anat Shenker-Osorio that helped Jacinda win in under 6 weeks. If she doesn't know how to win an election no one does. youtu.be/4UHUg7u8Dtg?...

Ok after an afternoon of results, texts, calls, messages on other apps and emails, I have some thoughts on today’s Local Election results
1) Voter turnout is depressing. 32%ish on average across AoNZ is pathetic.
2) The Māori Wards referendum should never have happened - it was a racebaiting farce…

The Olive green areas are councils where citizens voted down Māori wards (the little blue blob in the middle is Kirikiriroa, which voted by a whisker to retain theirs).
Coincidentally those Olive green areas also pretty accurately represent land confiscated by the crown after the Waikato wars.

Everything that makes Aotearoa New Zealand unique is related to Māori culture. Welcome to the country, that's a pōwhiri. We are gonna thrash you at sport, that's a haka. Traditional meals, that's a hāngī. Matariki that's our New Year
If you don't like Māori stuff maybe you're in the wrong country?

I know this is not a unique observation but public health was basically created to deal with the Spanish flu, and then a century later COVID hit and killed twice as many people and our response was to destroy public health

This week’s “masterstroke” from the far right: plaster the country in St George’s crosses. Because nothing says serious politics like flag shaggers thinking hanging a bit of nylon off a lamppost will solve housing, NHS, or wages. Cosplay patriotism at its finest.

In a small town in County Cork, Ireland, a monument stands in appreciation to the American Choctaw Indian Tribe.
Although impoverished, shortly after being forced to walk the Trail of Tears, the tribe somehow gathered $170 to send to Ireland for famine relief in 1847 [Historic Vids]
