Labour candidate living abroad says he’ll only return to NZ if elected

It beggars belief that there aren't any political parties calling for a Royal Commission into what the absolute fuck is wrong with the NZ Jevon Force. The scale of rot within the Police is outrageous. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610...
McSkimming scandal prompted a sweep of police devices. It found 21 more cases
New monitoring introduced after the former deputy commissioner’s downfall identified 21 police employees over searches potentially linked to pornography or other concerning material.

This is an unprecedented election. But the Greens are insurgent. In this scenario the OPPs would be king maker but there would be 17 green MPs, and likely at least 3 TPM MPs. If we can get out the vote, and if we continue to build Green numbers (which usually peak earlier) we can do better than win.
So do we all go vote again if the first election doesn't result in a coalition able to form a government?
New poll shows major parties continuing historic slump, with Labour coming out on top
Labour has edged ahead of National, but both major parties remain below 30% as voters increasingly shift their support to smaller parties.

Louise Upston didn't like being called "heartless" for telling cancer patients to find work. In 2024, she said she'd cut job beneficiaries by 50K
To date, there are 80K MORE. That's 130K from target

The Science Media Centre sent some basic questions on science policy to political parties. From the governing coalition, National didn't bother replying, Act says it has a policy coming and NZ First's response is reasonably (surprisingly) coherent. www.sciencemediacentre.co.nz/2026/09/09/2...

It doesn't surprise me at all that Hipkins lacks even the iota of self awareness required to realize he's sinking the ship.
But the Labour caucus includes lots of smart folks. It worries me more that they apparently can't see the damage he's doing.
