  • Greytown Office Is Open The
    May 2018 ANZAC Day Māori dead acknowledged Every year the crowd attending the ANZAC parade and ceremony in Carterton grows bigger. This year the square was packed. In a welcome addition to the usual ceremony, Carterton’s Anaru and Dallas Te Rangi were officially invited to contribute. On the podium, Anaru held a photo of his mother’s grandfather, Tom Brown, who died in World War 1 and Dallas addressed the crowd in te reo. Carterton School children then performed the haka, Ko Wairarapa. With tears in his eyes, Anaru and Dallas’s father, Hone Te Rangi, embraced them when they stepped down from the podium. “I’m so proud of my boys,” he said. It was a beginning for the town: an acknowledgement of the active role local Māori played in the country’s wars. It is only right that the RSA and the Council have taken an initial step to recognise the Māori contribution to this country’s past. The casualty rate for Māori was much higher than for pakeha and the ANZAC ceremony is only complete when there is an acknowledgement of this.

    I see red, I see red, I see red Election 2020 at a glance “We will govern for all New Zealanders” Jacinda Ardern A year full of unprecedented events has delivered one more: for the first time since MMP was introduced in 1996, one party has won a Parliamentary majority. Labour was expected to dominate, but few, even in Labour, would have predicted the extent of the red-wash. Once the special votes are counted Labour is expected to have the third largest vote in its history, and the largest since 1946. Jacinda Ardern and Labour can govern alone for the next three years. Anyone worried that the Greens will hold a disproportionate sway can rest easy. This is going to be a Labour Government led by a careful thinker who wants a third term. Labour’s mandate Last night’s election result was a ringing endorsement of Labour’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic. In some ways it is a vote of thanks but also a show of trust in Jacinda Ardern’s ability to lead through tough and testing times. With a tick over 49 percent of the vote (and expected to lift one or two percent more once special votes are counted) Labour now has a massive mandate from 1- I see red, I see red, I see red the New Zealand public. It also has a herculean task to manage the still unpredictable health issues in front of it and no minor parties to blame for lack of related to the pandemic. At the same time, on pace or delivery.

Greetings to you all. Thank you so much for that warm welcome. And thank you Whanganui, you’ve been absolutely wonderful hosts this weekend. Can I add, as I did on Friday night, my personal thanks to the Labour Mayor Hamish McDouall. 1 And in case you missed it the third or even fourth time I mentioned it, Hamish was elected unopposed for his second term. That has nothing to do with the fact he’s my cousin, and everything to do with the heart he brings to the job. Thanks Hamish. But I could say the same for all of our Labour representatives across New Zealand. In fact recently we had an amazing new group of representatives elected in the local body elections. While I’m loathe to risk singling anyone out, I am going to name drop Campbell Barry. At just 28, Campbell has become our country’s youngest ever mayor winning the race in Hutt City. The youngest before him, was Norman Kirk. No pressure Campbell. Campbell joins the ranks of the Labour members elected in both local government and parliament who fly the flag for us day in, day out.

  • Ardern Set for Second Term Collins's Campaign
    HUGO Assessing the economic and political environmentvision in New Zealand Confidential to October 16 2020 HUGO members Ardern set for second term Page 2 Labour is expected to win a second term in Saturday’s election. Polls show its support remained robust through the final fortnight of the campaign around 47-48%, which would just be enough to deliver 60-62 seats in a 120 seat parliament. National is marooned at around 30%. Collins’s campaign dissolves Page 2 Judith Collins’s hopes of running down Labour in the home straight crumbled into a mess of ineffective campaign appearances and distracting gaffes in the last fortnight. She served only to highlight the yawning gap in popularity between Ardern and everyone else. Her future as leader is unclear. Full coalition or just supply and confidence deal? Page 3 The main point of tension in Saturday night’s result and the ensuing wait for a final result after the counting of special votes will be whether Labour can govern alone and whether Jacinda Ardern wants Labour to govern alone. The polls suggest an atypical one-party-wins result is possible, but the PM may choose John Key-style to form a coalition for coalescing’s sake. Extraordinary early turnout may help Labour Close to two million of the expected turnout of up to 2.8 million voters will already have voted by tonight. Previous election results showed a high early vote was correlated with a slightly higher youth turnout and a higher vote for Labour, with specials helping boost the Greens. RMA, Transport and employment law reform in focus Page 4 A repeal of the Resource Management Act and its replacement with a Natural and Built Environments Act and a Resource Planning Act will be a focus of coalition negotiations, along with the likely shape of employment law reform and planned minimum wage increases.
