      It found a total of 59.1% of respondents trusted Hipkins either a ‘great deal’ or a ‘fair amount’, while only 33.8% had the same levels of trust in Luxon. In contrast, 62.2% of respondents said they trusted Luxon ‘not very much’ or ‘not at all’ to deliver on his promises…

      CEOs, we have a problem. A greater 'left-right trust divide' than I expected – also the percentages are higher than I expected.
      So let’s give Hipkins his due.

      Get your friends and acquaintances enrolled and get the vote out.

      We’ve seen Labour preferred on so many points in the issues survey.

      Time to get the polls to match what these trust and issues surveys are saying.

      Look at this regular BS from RNZ- go to Blackball and get a couple of grumpy f-rs to complain without any context that Labour was different to that miners strike and the solution is voting this National lot. Jesus wept. GGF RNZ and time to save them before they regularly become the Mike Hosking station.

   Today, 19 October, is the birthday of Gerrard Winstanley, 40 year old leader of The Diggers who in 1649 took over some waste common land in Surrey and grew vegetables upon it. They were dispersed by the local landlords and men of property. Their vision lingers on, as the song says.

   A vision of a divided land made whole, to be a common treasury for all. Their cottages were burnt, the corn crops destroyed. What is new and now that has not already been wrought in history?
