        At least one of the branches mentioned in that list is less than 200 metres from another branch, so it’s not as if the town in question is being left without a convenient Kiwibank service.

    How come this is the first I’m hearing of this? According to Matt McCarten’s opinoin piece in the Herald, embedded in the next supercity bill is an extra vote for landlords for each commercial or residential property they own, the vote being in the ward where the property is.

    Way to gerrymander for the right, by allowing landlords to effectively cancel out the vote of tenants, or potentially vote 3, 4, or X times.

    I thought that there always has been the ability of people who pay rates in more than one Ward to vote in each. I remember a non-resident roll in my Ward at the last local body election. What has changed?
