David Seymour should be ashamed
I get the feeling that David Seymour has decided to model himself on Winston Peters. Peters has made a career of saying really outlandish news worthy quotes and getting publicity for them. It appears that Seymour is attempting to do the same. It is one…

What is at stake this election – housing
There is a lot at stake at this election. A change in Government could see a radical change in direction for the country for the worse. For housing it pays to recall what Labour inherited in 2017 which was basically a full blown housing crisis. …
