Yes, I went to one as well, and do thoroughly recommend them. A really good opportunity to build relationship with other candidates and identify our shared values.
Michael You're kidding, right??? You have to be. Let's have some true facts; not made up stuff from the right's false facts files. It was Labour who enacted the legislation that enabled this case. Had they still been in power in 2008 it is clear they ...
I think they have... đ
BM: Things I want to see explained are 1. Land 2. Materials 3. Trades BM: For your assistance, and straight from Labour's web-site. "Create an Affordable Housing Authority to fast-track development in our cities Labour will establish an Affordable Housing ...

To CJ It grieves me to my core when people in the LGBT community are demonised in this way, It was never right, it is not right, and it will never be right. I cant comment for anyone else, but I for one am sorry for the way LGBT people have been treated. ...
As the Labour Party candidate in Ilam I'm standing to grow the party vote and change the Government. This needs to be THE priority in 2017. I note Manji's decision to run, and the opportunity we will all have to debate the policies that will make a real ...
Another clear example of Bennett and her crew being all talk and no action is the on-gong legal dispute between the Govenment and health care workers. Despite clear rulings showing an obvious gender pay bias compared to similar work done in male-dominated ...
But there's the point: National is looking to sell our State Housing stock. For this action alone we need to ensure there is a decisive change of Government come 23 Sep 2017. HNZ housing stock is over 70 years in the making. This government must not be ...

Excellent article Weka. I fully agree that robust fora like this are the places to push forward the agenda on essential discussions such as this one on water quality. Well written, passionately argued, and gushing (excuse the pun) with essential facts. ...
Fully agree. A simple, respectful, positive message. Any challenges can have been done privately and respectfully but this is not his way. That's why he has to go.
Weka, I think this is an excellent analysis. The simple truth is that two parties on the left are working together in such a way that maximises the chance of a centre-left Government on 24 September, while still ensuring each retains it's unique ...
The sale of State Housing is a pivotal issue. Even those who have voted for National are squeamish about selling down a housing stock that was built up over almost 70 years, and was the bedrock of the welfare state. I agree that of itself it wont bring ...
Thanks mickysavage. Will do.

Making civics compulsory in schools will assist. Teaching young people the value and the power of being involved. It's a generational change, but so has been the decline in participation. I know some worry it will be used as a tool to tell them how to vote...
Guerilla: I think now is the opportunity to return to that historic mission. I dont agree that Labour has forgotten. Some in Labour had, and they held too much sway. But now is the time to return to this foundational viewpoint. Housing, health, and hope. ...
Yes, Enviro Gal: because leaders: build grass-roots movements; expound a real vision; show how that vision is achievable; energise the base to work to achieve it. Sure Enviro Gal, Jeremy has done all these things, but as you say it's because he's a nice ...
I was at a Labour party candidate selection meeting only last night, where this very question came up. It was clear that the people in that room were fully behind just such a proposal as was announced today. It's not the biggest poll sample, but the core ...
Could not disagree with you more. The two parties have come together to show how much they have in common, and how much we need to see our current government defeated.
This is what makes this policy so fascinating: the concept is supported by Gareth Morgan et al: hardly doyens of left wing radicalism. I'm really looking forward to good debate!
Yes, we did, and yes we believe this is a vital discussion. It was gratifying to see that grass-roots proposals do in fact come to the surface for wider ranging discussion (and action). A central question for us to ponder. I'm looking forward to the robust...
