    "Labour’s policy platform is sensible and mainstream. And as I found from speaking to thousands of people across the country during my Net Zero review, it is what the public wants and what business needs.

      Re your links, what do you think of Community Housing Aotearoa ?

    The CofC is also presiding over something else getting worse.

    It cancelled a planned renewal of KiwiRails Cook Strait operations without an alternative, or making any moves to do so.
