Would you support the introduction of MMP to local body elections?
A former Labour minister has called on the government to implement MMP as the voting system for local body elections in a bid to 'fix' local government.
Peter Neilson, an economist, is a former Labour MP for Miramar, a Minister of Revenue, Works and Associate Minister of Finance. Neilson explains how MMP could have a positive impact on civic participation after data from Internal Affairs showed a decline in voter turnout.
Around four out of 10 New Zealanders on the electoral role turned out to vote in the last set of local elections. In comparison, around seven or eight out 10 voted in the general election last year.

Ross’ retirement saw the beginning of his musical journey where his passion quickly evolved from making music, to crafting guitars. It all started when Ross and some mates joined a music group where the camaraderie and togetherness were just as important as the music.
Living in a Ryman village, Ross can continue living life to the full in his retirement because they are places where you don’t retire from life, you find a new way to live .

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.
We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.
ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.
Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

No thanks however to the older person who while we were all waiting in line (only limited number of people "fit" into the room!) went right to the start of the queue and started arguing with the staff about being let in without an appointment.
As we were just a couple of meters away from the entrance we did overhear her arguing.
She claimed she couldnt get an appointment because the 0800 number was always busy and that she is not willing to / could not wait in the queue for "walk ins" as she travelled quite a distance to come to Kaitaia to get vaccinated.
Well my dear woman why do you think there was a line of people who had an appointment? Because these people were patient and might have tried more than once calling the 0800 number ! And why was there another line of people without an appointment waiting patiently (having made time to wait, probably realised that they might not be the only ones without an appointment) for their turn and were willing to wait? Right because we are "all in for that" !
But No ! You had to ignore all this and walk straight to the top and then you had to argue with the staff (who were only "doing their VERY GOOD job") , completely ignoring the fact that you did not have any "right" or reason to be treated differently.
Not even acknowledging all people around yourself, not even given a reason to them for walking up to the top and requesting to be accepted without an appointment ....
Have you realised how blessed we are here in NZ (and you in particular) being able to get the vaccination by just calling a phone number and showing a bit of patience?
If you want to know how it works in other countries watch the news about India. Try there to jump the queue!
Thank all of you at K town hospital and at the vaccination center, you are doing great job.
Cheers Mike
