If someone you strongly dislike wins #Dunedin Mayor - and you didn't vote, well... --There's still time to vote (even if you're not enrolled). Information on how in my Leftie Voters Guide (which will also help make it easy to choose your preferred candidates). Link >> tinyurl.com/BaxtersLefti...

And absolutely don't look at that scurrilous "Baxter's Leftie Dunedin Voters Guide". And in no circumstances SHARE it with others who'd find it helpful to sort through the candidates!

Dunners Tonight - Free Dentalcare for All discussion.
Free dental care should always have been part of NZ's free healthcare. It finally made back it to nearly become policy, so it's entirely archivable - and will change thousands of lives...

Sure, RUCs might be a better way to fund roads. --But NOT if government or private contractors TRACKING YOU, with better abilities than a dystopian novel, is how it's done. This massive invasion of privacy is vastly worse than the problem it is trying to address (ie how road funding is charged).

Happy Matariki! Much like Hogmanay, Yule, or Winter-solstice, but at the Southern Hemisphere's seasonal dates. Time to remember the recently departed, then feast and celebrate cold nights getting shorter, days getting longer and warmer, and the better times ahead.

Well done DCC for voting down a mean-spirited proposal to charge foreign visitors for entry to Toitū museum and Dunedin Public Art Gallery. $20 means a lot more to some people than to others, and assuming all visitors to our city are wealthy is neither true or fair.
