If you have not voted in the #LocalElectionsNZ tomorrow is your last chance!
You need to drop off your vote in the Orange boxes before noon!
Had a really hard time deciding who to vote FOR. No clearly good options in my electorate unfortunately.
Until I found who I should vote AGAINST.
Not ideal, but hopefully does something to reduce the #CarBrain epidemic in local politics.
Have you voted in this year's #LocalElectionsNZ yet?
Of course! Done and dusted.
Not quite yet, but very soon.
Nah, won't bother voting.
Poll ended at .

#Wellington mayoral candidate Rob Goulden banned from future events after run-in with Taxpayer’s Union associate.
A rare occasion where I'd back Jordan Williams of TPU NZ. Listen to how Rob Goulden talks at young woman fronting for student group. Dismissive and wanting to talk to person (man?) in charge. Passive aggressive if not actually violent.
