One of our neighbours, a pakeha doctor, has a Toi Tu Tiriti sign on the front gate today. Nearby, a Kāinga Ora household is flying a big Tino Rangitiratanga flag. Perhaps David Seymour is uniting the country after all.

“There’s something wrong with our priorities. Rent is increasingly unaffordable for many. Wages are low. We need every council house we can get. Thousands in Northland are struggling to keep a roof over their head.
And still our govts are cancelling or mothballing Kainga Ora housing left & right.”
