This is the first election we have experienced coordinated vandalism. It is really concerning that the perpetrators are armed with a knife and targeting women, Māori and Pasifika candidates www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...

‘No-brainer’: Commuters go loco for Tauranga to Auckland train
‘Cheaper, safer and faster’ journeys by rail are a better option than driving or flying, avoiding increasingly unbearable traffic and airfares.

Nicola Willis and Erica Stanford have overseen the absolute slop being served to kids in schools and have now changed their minds on the importance of pay equity for women.
Women who literally hold our communities together with their critical work. It’s despicable.

As someone who was injured and reported it to police I think it’s interesting the article says otherwise. There were multiple assaults, blood drawn, assaulted teenagers etc. The article really undersells the vibe.
