Judith Collins is doomed. The combined Nats and ACT "score" is behind Labour who also has the Maori Party and the left-leaning Greens to prop them up out of reach.
Incredibly the Nats need yet another new leader. Could the mantle fall to Wellingtonian, Nicola Willis?
A decision on a leadership change needs to happen within the next 5-6 months and I feel things will come to a head quite quickly.

"This beautiful drawing was a present from my lovely daughter, Caitlin, for my birthday. It's a portrait of a chap who frequents a large tree at the back of our neighbour's section - it borders our section at the back so he is often peering into our yard - this is the view we normally have of him. I've always valued the handcrafted gifts my children give me - looking at them in chronological order is like viewing the ascent of man. This one's going straight to the trophy room. Kererū/wood pigeon (Hemiphaga novaeseelandiae)."

For delicious grass-raised beef New Zealand is the perfect combo. An ideal climate, lush pastures and innovative farming produces enough beef for Macca’s in New Zealand and around the world.
Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked.
If the ABs beat the Boks tomorrow evening (our time) in Australia it will be the icing on the cake for a memorable and extraordinarly challenging sporting year for NZ that had us starring/featuring in many different sports events at the hugely successful Olympics.

Spoke to a staff member at Kereru Breweries today in Upper Hutt who didn't know anything about the match up but she ended promising to watch the game on tv with her dad.
Its the 100th test between the All Blacks and the Springboks with the former currently ranked world number one and the latter the current world champions. It will be all so physical and brutal but hopefully the Kiwis will be able to display the silky skills that they have in abundance.
A win will also give NZ the Rugby Championship trophy for yet another year.
Look for the Barrett Trio (who have strong Wellington region connections) to be among the stars. Scott Barrett does so much work and effort that often goes unnoticed.
Make sure to update any manual clocks (don't forget about our older neighbours who might need a helping hand) and have a wonderful spring weekend!

We probably get more earthquakes in the Hutt Valley than they do in the whole of the Australian continent yearly, but Australia is not devoid of a shake or two.
Australia gets around 80 magnitude 3 or larger earthquakes a year - we get over 15,000 earthquakes annually.
In 1968 a 6.5 quake hit a small WA town and demolished most of it. The largest ever in Australia was 20 years later, a 6.6 in the Northern Territory which caused little damage. And now, just the other day, a 5.9 hit the state of Victoria including Melbourne and caused a few bricks to drop off and frightend more than the police could, a group of Covid vaccination protestors.
What next for Australia - a volcanic erruption for the first time in 5000 years.
