Tough time to be looking for a job in Wellington at the moment. Anyone need someone good at organisation or admin?

I’m delighted to announce I'm standing as the Labour candidate in Wellington Bays/Rongotai in 2026. I'm thrilled to fight for better jobs, housing, and health services in our community. Look in the bio to donate, volunteer, and help us deliver a better government next year.

This is a stain on Parliament. A vulgar triumph of prissy legalism and historical fabrication over justice and reality. Naked exercise of majoritarian power to punish those who insist that the truth of history is still the truth even if it is not popular rnz.co.nz/news/national/5631…

Love to see conservative Parliamentary Dignity Defenders wilfully ignoring the disorder caused by their govt mocking the legitimacy of Parliament by introducing and debating a malicious self-serving lie, and then swooning when that outrage was treated with the scorn it deserved

To all the butthurt righties who think the Treaty Principles Bill submissions mean a referendum is needed: pass a bill in parliament or get 10% of voters for a CIR or suffer in your jocks like losers
None of us have to listen to another word of your lost cause shit until you do

Wouldn't it be nice if the Prime Minister could extend the grace he shows disgraced colleagues to workers who are getting fired without warning or cause under the law changes he couldn't wait to ram through Parliament? #90DayTrialsCauseHarm

Disappointing start from Simeon Brown. Among the"everyday Kiwis" who make up the health workforce are tens of thousands of union members & delegates who, along with the "everyday Kiwis" who rely on them for care, deserve a lot better than this tired, old divisive rhetoric.

A group of Pākehā is embracing the opportunity to honour Te Tiriti, saying that a commitment to tino rangatiratanga strengthens, rather than divides, Aotearoa.

The ACT Party has its facts wrong.
Wgtn Airport paid WCC a dividend worth $250 per household last year, helping keep rates down.
The Mayor’s privatisation plan puts the money into an investment fund. It does not reduce rates or pay down debt.
Wellington airport debacle whacks hard-up ratepayers
ACT’s Finance spokesperson @toddmstephenson is criticising Wellington City Council’s flip-flopping on the issue of its shares in Wellington Airport.
“Wellington City Council needs to get on with selling its shares. There is no good reason for a council to partially own an airport," says Stephenson.
“Rates paid by hard-up Wellingtonians should not be supporting a council to play share market games.
“Councils need to focus on delivering the basic public services they are responsible for: making sure roads are maintained, water systems work, and buses run on time.
“That focus can help to keep rate hikes down for ratepayers.
“Wellington City Council could have been an example to councils New Zealand over, but it will first need to find a spine and make the right call again.”

The point of the Human Rights Commission is to protect people from hatred for who they are - today is a new low even for this Government. #InstitutionalisingHatredAndBigotry

We built a new hospital in Auckland to do 15000 additional procedures a year.
Instead Dr Reti has opened a Potemkin Village.

If you told me two years ago that the next Mayor of Wellington would lead the charge on spending $320m for the Town Hall, bailing out a multinational and fully privatising our airport, I'd have asked you which right-wing candidate won.
