Today @TP_EDG presented to the Toi Moana Bay of Plenty Regional Council Transport Committee chaired by Cr Ken Shirley. We highlighted @TePukeNZ roading network issues and the need to prioritise solutions. Te Puke (Pāpāmoa Hills to Otamarakau) is a significant hort/ag/forestry/wood products producing area with very significant service industries aligned to the Kiwifruit Industry. In our view Te Puke specific needs should be considered in the context of the entire Bay of Plenty. Our local economy continues to grow with increasing Kiwifruit volumes, more people, more jobs and more housing. Our transport network is stretched because of business and industry growth and we continue to lobby for elevation of Te Puke needs. Obviously the region has competing demands so always good to make our case. We acknowledge the efforts of Western Bay of Plenty District Council to find solutions and as I have discussed with Mayor James Denyer on previous occasions, many of the issues we raise need significant capital and in our view a regional approach to establish timebound outcomes is important. This committee includes the regions Mayors and having BOPRC Western Ward Cr John Scrimgeour on the committee is valuable for the East as he understands our problems. There are many ideas in play at the moment including slip lanes and by-pass. One significant potential solution is a new link road from Seddon St to the TEL. We continue to lobby for solutions that support our continued economic growth. @localtepuke @easternfrontbop @easternfrontnz #kiwifruitcapitaloftheworld #tepukegoodnessgrowshere

Andrea Vance’s article on NZ First’s recently announced candidates is so drenched in emotional framing and loaded language that it leaves little room for actual analysis.
NZ First is hardly unique in attracting polarising figures — every party does.
Political parties do this all the time: they recruit experienced, outspoken, or battle-hardened candidates and yes, some have plenty of baggage.
Vance doesn’t mention that basic fact.
Also missing, and it’s pretty convenient — is any editor’s note or disclaimer about the recent NZ Media Council ruling against her and The Post. The Council found her Cook Strait ferry story (and headline) inaccurate and misleading. The person who complained? Winston Peters.
It’s also worth noting Vance’s apparent silence on the Green Party’s Māngere candidate, Michel Mulipola. As I have previously detailed, he has a documented history of calling police officers “cunts” and “pigs,” labelling a govt minister a “piece of shit,” being filmed ripping up the New Zealand flag, and openly celebrating the assassination of prominent US conservative figure Charlie Kirk.
Yet on that, she has nothing to say. Funny, that.

The official New Zealand Parliament account has announced it will no longer be posting on X.
Why has such a significant and serious decision been made without consulting parliament?
This is how freedoms are lost - by unilateral decision making being made by moral virtue signalling - where someone seeks to do one thing but causes damage to other freedoms.
This platform is a mechanism for Parliament to communicate and update New Zealanders.
Neither the Clerk nor the Speakers Office are the moral compass for 123 MPs let alone 5.3 million New Zealanders.
