Politicians from across the spectrum discussed Canterbury's freshwater challenges, as the region grapples with rising nitrate in drinking water amid tens of thousands more dairy cows consented this year alone.

Stop MPs scrolling through their phones while ordinary citizens spill their guts in selecting committees, motherfuckers. Then and only then we can talk about banning screens from anybody else.

If you’re on the eastside of Ōtautahi and know a young person who hasn’t enrolled to vote there are other young folks ready and waiting to enroll them at Eastgate Mall.

Reminder: If voting didn't matter Luxon wouldnt be doing everything he can to make it harder for you to do it. He purposely chose a date he knew would be harder for most kiwis to vote.

Albanians just set fire to the Supreme Court after it allowed Jared Kushner to buy land in the country against the their will.

Everyone in NZ media circles who spent months hyping the Opportunity Party while glazing its random bumper sticker generator leader, now furrowing its brow in "Someone should do some basic due diligence on these people" mode THREE WEEKS before the election? #nzpol
