Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!
This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.
It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:
- Something interesting that happened to you
- Something humourous that happened to you
- Something frustrating that happened to you
- A quick question
- A request for recommendations
- Pictures of your pet
- A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
- Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)
So how’s it going?


Spent last night going through all the political parties and their policies. Damn do they suck! Labour was the only one who had concrete policy and even then only on doctors visits and loans for new doctor practices.
Every other party from the Greens to Act or all nothing burgers and hot air sentenses usually taking the form of “this is a problem, we will fix it” no “how” or “what with”
I know its early in the election cycle but its still very lax
There’s that website, I think it’s https://policy.nz/, that the parties all give their detailed policy stances to. That site is still on the 2025 local elections. The parties aren’t going to provide the policies until they have publicly announced them, so I guess we will need to wait a few months before they get everything updated.
