Just to confirm, Simeon Brown's "clear pipeline" to $20bn in Health Infrastructure spending has absolutely no money allocated to it and absolutely no specific detail of any kind.

Akl Council became a Living Wage Employer this week, it was celebrated at the Trusts Stadium last night. The media jumps on & amplifies every employer bemoaning minor lifts in the MW, which is poverty pay, yet employers who pay decent wages rarely get a mention but their detractors get a megaphone.

I’d love to know exactly why Premier House is uninhabitable. Does it leak? Did a previous tenant trash the joint? I was at an event in the ballroom there in 2019 and it seemed in pretty good nick.
Of course he does. He's on the bones of his arse.
After all one of his other properties is also leased to Parliamentary Services as his electorate office.

Really surprised to see David Seymour advocating for free public transport and subsidised petrol and parking!
A big pivot, but a welcome one I think.
That is what he's advocating here, right?
What about a clothing allowance? Will government fund relocation for new hires now?
