I don’t like Wayne Brown, but I really really really don’t like David (fuck off) Seymour & his following of feckless fascists, so this is a win I’m willing take on the chin. ☺️ #LocalGovernmentElections #nzpol #LGNZ #Aotearoa #NewZealand

I really hope this translates to a positive change in the 2026 general election too…🤞 #OneTermGovernment #nzpol #LGNZ #Aotearoa #NewZealand

I wonder how Shane will explain this to Winston….God I love Democracy! ❤️🏳️‍⚧️ #nzpol #Aotearoa #NewZealand #LGNZ #AWomanIsWhomeverSheWantsToBe

Some of the ActLocal local board results could change when the final tallies are done - 2 are sitting just below the cut-off point.

#nzpol #lgnz

Wayne Brown’s Fix Auckland ticket? Ditto.
1 candidate from 2 in Albany; his backed candidate in North Shore ward lost; the 2 in Manukau came 5th and 6th, & lost their local board back-up plan.
Desley Simpson was re-elected unopposed, but that was nothing to do with Brown or his ticket

#nzpol #lgnz

Auckland is a region of tickets. But also: people who put in the work get re-elected - Josephine Bartley, Richard Hills etc.

ActLocal was spectacularly unsuccessful, winning only 1 seat on the Ōrākei local board.
That’s
0/5 councillors and
1/14 local board members

City is made of council Please vote. I do not know how else to say this.

Editorial gold; so many good lines to choose from! 😂👏 #nzpol #LGNZ #Aotearoa #NewZealand

“Just because all of the people in the voting booklet look like they were baked out of a bald 60-year-old man sourdough starter doesn’t mean they can’t ruin your life”

What the actual fuckery is this?! 🤬 #nzpol #LGNZ #Aotearoa #NZ #LocalElectionsNZ

Odd how 8% & 5% of the nation gained 100% control of our nationwide government & now there is radio silence about those same groups pushing lunatics & morons forward to carefully steer the disengaged forward into the fire. 🤷‍♀️🔥 #nzpol #LGNZ

This looks handy team 😎👏 #LocalElectionsNZ #nzpol #LGNZ

I can back this. I know it & I’ve seen it for decades now. This fool needs to be gone. This fool represents HATE. Bye 👋 #nzpol #LGNZ #Aotearoa #NZ

It appears we are still a long way from having mature, serious, community focussed men with solid leadership skills & a balanced moral compass in any governance position in Aotearoa. Parliamentary cabinet included. Know your candidates, vote accordingly team. #nzpol #Aotearoa #NZ #LGNZ #ElectionsNZ

At the very least, Ray (the perv) Chung should be made to campaign in all his misogynistic glory. #nzpol #LGNZ #LocalElectionsNZ #Aotearoa #NZ

"They had been seeing stuff which they had got from some quote - unquote Facebook expert,"

So these FB experts were welcomed by NZF, got into cabinet & now VFF are actively infiltrating local government elections too…🤦‍♀️ #nzpol #OneTermGovernment #Aotearoa #NZ #KnowYourCandidates #LGNZ

Next steps? Unidentifiable masked secret police, disappearing non white Kiwi residents into concentration camps? Sounds alarmist I know, but is it..really? 🤨🤬 #EndRacism #HumanityFirst #ToitūTeTiriti #nzpol #Aotearoa #TangataTiriti #KnowYourCandidates #LGNZ #NZ #ProtectDemocracy #ResistFascism

Owhango is on the Tour Aotearoa trail as well as the gate way to the T42, and Whanaganui River trails. A charging station would allow cyclists to recharge while they recharge themselves at the cafe...

Everything Nick Smith says on local elections makes sense! 👀

We need organisations, community groups, technology companies & law makers to collaborate on this issue to create lasting, systemic change.

Government rejects Westport's plea for flood protection funding Local Government Minister Simeon Brown told the mayor it was not the government's problem.

Looking at Westport's flood risks, maybe Local Government NZ #LGNZ should organise a seminar on flood infrastructure planning? Which is a better model for NZ - Venice, New Orleans or a Pacific island? Build to keep flood waters out or build so waters drain away?
