@ponekeben Great to be able to follow online. Fully support the requests made about council advocating for schools, esp. Onslow in Takapū. If school & students can thrive (in healthy, safe buildings), this helps the suburb to thrive too. Shared city/school sport facilities would be awesome.

PM Jacinda Ardern had taken up the metaphor of the New Zealand people as ‘a team of five million’ facing the Covid-19 threat together.

This book seeks to explain the success of the government’s strategy in the election campaign.
