In the Hutt, 54% of next year’s rates increase is being driven by water infrastructure/services.
That wouldn’t be the case if the affordable water reforms weren’t thrown in the bin.

Great to meet New Zealand Opposition Leader @chrishipkins @nzlabour at the @UKLabour Party Conference in Liverpool. New Zealand's current government announced 6.5% - 7.5% public sector cuts in this year's budget, resulting in almost 3000 public service job losses so far. We need to invest in and build our public sector, not cut it. #LPC24

It’s pretty simple - stopping Kainga Ora building houses, slashing funding for Community Housing Providers and making it harder to access Emergency Housing will increase homelessness.
The Government were warned and did it anyway.
They don’t care.

The disability community deserve better. The Minister knew about funding issues at Whaikaha last December, didn’t do anything, and then signed off on changes to funding that would hurt people with disabilities and their carers.
It’s disgraceful and she should go.

Auckland - Avoid non-essential travel today. Stay home if you can. If you do have to travel, drive to the conditions and never drive through floodwaters. If you come to a flooded area, turn around and go another way. Put safety first. Don’t take any chances.

As always, the Government is poised to assist if needed. I’d like to acknowledge all the agencies whose staff are working hard to manage the impacts of this event. I know this isn’t how Aucklanders wanted to start their anniversary weekend. Stay safe and call 111 if in danger.

I'll be in close contact with NEMA through the night.
I’m aware that a number of people have been evacuated and are being given the support that they need.
I’d urge people to follow the advice of authorities and check Auckland Emergency Management for the latest information
Chris Hipkins retweeted
The Mayor of Auckland has declared a state of emergency. NEMA can now provide additional support and resources from other regions. I’m continuing to receive live updates from NEMA, liaising with Auckland based MPs and updating the Prime Minister as needed /1

Have to love the thumbs up for the ‘good news’ the COVID-19 response Minister @chrishipkins opens the press conference with. No new cases in the community.

We would like to acknowledge Papatoetoe High School principal Vaughan Couillault, his leadership team and the school board for the considerable work they have done, and the calm and professional manner in which they have done this in a very difficult situation. #UniteAgainstCovid

Our plan to rebuild New Zealand keeps a lid on debt while protecting vital services like health. We’re building on the work we’ve already done to fix a health system that was underfunded for nearly a decade - and our plan is already in motion.

We’re building more public houses. National sold them off.
