The Electoral commission needs a good review to say the least. Makes you wonder how accurate the counts are in other areas where there is only a small margin. They couldn't even get the easy vote cards out to people on time. Election 2023: Electoral ...
Other than Grant Robertson who may end up retiring, I can't think of anyone in Labour that could replace Hipkins. There used to be talk about Michael Wood and Kiri Allen but they are goneburger.

What is the normal number where you would go for a re-count? Less than a 500 majority? There are quite a few still on the knife edge. $1,022 as below, in the scheme of things isn't really a huge cost.
Wow. Busy night. Where is everyone? We lost the rugby, but the sun will still come up tomorrow.
Thanks...very small consolation!
Well I got that prediction wrong!
Lets hope the All Blacks win tomorrow as the whole country will be more positive then. My prediction (hoping) is AB's win by 12.
I don't think they will be able to cut the number of public servants that much, but may rely more on not replacing people as they leave. I think they will get bigger savings by cutting down on the use of the consultants ie. numerous employment consultancy ...

NZ cricket team bats well above it's weight. I think we have a good chance of coming close even if we don't quite win it.
Yes I think I nearly had a heart attack two or three times over in the last 20 minutes of the game.
What a great positive weekend. And to top it off, an All Blacks win against the odds.
The guy didn't die on purpose you know! In fact he would probably rather not have caused a by-election. It does seem a crazy rule.

No it would have been home D, as that is the punishment for everything these days (even attacking an unarmed person with a sword).
I think Brooke Van Velden will win the seat for Act.
I think that is the most likely outcome.
There is a TV3 poll tomorrow night that may give a clearer picture.

Even Grant Robertson doesn't like this policy.
"From the damage to the ute I doubt that her car could be driven though. I'm not sure what she is actually required to do in that case." If you had an accident and your vehicle was blocking the road, normally you would call police and wait with the vehicle...
Not sure what happens there as Kiris / govt insurance may not pay out as she was over the limit to drive. Will he have to claim on his own insurance and pay his excess? Would he be able to claim the excess back off government / Kiri? Just found this ...
Well this just keeps getting worse for Kiri Allan. You should not leave the scene of an accident. She wasn't that drunk as she was under the old 400 limit according to reports. Kiri Allan car crash: Police dogs tracked MP, she was located 500 metres from ...
Agree with you totally Sabine. Not sure why Anne thinks you are in 'fantasy land' as you have clearly stated the ' knowns' or facts, whereas she seems unable to come up with anything to dispute them. The owner of the ute has now released video footage to ...
I don't understand why you consider Luxon a louse due to his statement. Even Kiri herself said her position was untenable. "Allan said she was returning home to the East Coast on Monday morning, and was considering her future in politics. She had resigned ...
At least Judge Bonnar was right that he won't be seeing him again!
A few questions need to be answered from this. Like how the heck did he get hold of a gun? And why the hell was he given home detention in the first place? And where was the monitoring? I wonder how Judge Stephen Bonnar KC if feeling tonight?
He committed this ram raid while on the "electronically monitored bail for a year, presumably with strict reporting requirements." that you mention so a fat lot of good that was! I believe it costs around $193k a year to keep someone in jail, but having ...
