BREAKING NEWS--Simon Bridges rolled, Todd Muller new National Party leader

Brian from New Lynn

It follows a disastrous Colmar Brunton Poll result last night that saw National drop to its lowest support since 2003, plunging 17 percentage points to 29 per cent. Mr Bridges’ preferred PM result dropped six percentage points to 5 per cent, and his approval rating also fell to -40. Mr … View moreIt follows a disastrous Colmar Brunton Poll result last night that saw National drop to its lowest support since 2003, plunging 17 percentage points to 29 per cent. Mr Bridges’ preferred PM result dropped six percentage points to 5 per cent, and his approval rating also fell to -40. Mr Muller's victory came after an emergency caucus meeting today, where MPs were brought back to Wellington to make the vote. The National Party website crashed during the meeting. Nikki Kaye has been elected Deputy Leader, replacing Paula Bennett. When Mr Muller arrived at Parliament this morning, he told journalists he was “feeling very excited", calling it “a momentous day for the National Party”. Mr Muller, who grew up in Te Puna, Bay of Plenty, was a former staffer to then-PM Jim Bolger in 1996, entering Parliament as an MP in 2014. He sat at National MP rank 16, and was spokesperson for agriculture, biosecurity, food safety and forestry. The 51-year-old worked as general manager for Zespri and was group director of corporate affairs for Fonterra. Mr Muller, an avid US politics fan who has described himself previously to the Bay of Plenty Times as an “American politics tragic”, was on the receiving end of the infamous ‘OK, boomer’ quip by Green MP Chlöe Swarbrick last year. Tauranga MP Simon Bridges took over from former PM Sir Bill English in early 2018. When he was running for leader in 2018, he told he wanted his legacy if he were to become Prime Minister “to ensure New Zealand is a growing, dynamic, exciting place in the 2020s where people have opportunities”. “I would like people to look back and be glad about the kind of New Zealand we have created together.” “When I was a teen I liked to read about politics and got involved in the 1993 election and have never looked back, I believed then and still do in the values of the National Party,” he said at the time.

Mabel is a small black and white cat of 1-2 years of age. She loves people and is extremely affectionate. She has been spayed, vaccinated and microchipped and is in good health. She needs a home.
Mabel was abandoned by one of our neighbours when he moved back to Australia just before lockdown. She was malnourished and neglected. We took her to the vet to have her spayed etc and have been feeding her over lockdown, but cannot keep her.
We have let Mabel inside from time to time, and she is not litter trained. She needs someone who is prepared to train her and give her lots of love. Please message me if you are interested in giving Mabel a home or want to find out more. If you're interested, you are very welcome to come and meet Mabel before deciding.
Thank you,
Esther

Those people are doing something I disapprove of - and I demand the government stops them!

Cam from Avondale

""It's a social injustice, and it definitely feels like a form of discrimination.

"Why are these clubs or institutions allowed to exist under these current policies?"

When I heard there would be changes to the consent rules around building sleep outs, I was excited. I've always wanted a tea house in my back yard... a garden room where I can do a bit of potting, maybe read a book, or just cool off in the shade.
