Is Roy Morgan a somewhat reliable poll? Because the last poll before this one had the greens on 5.7%.

Relieved to see the greens at 11% and also heh at the preferred prime minister rankings.

Chris Hipkins: 27 percent, up 4
Christopher Luxon: 17 percent, down 5

Finally bit the bullet and became a member of the green party. No idea what really to expect but what's the worse that could happen? The real possibility of act being in government is what really pushed me over the edge.

Expect emails. How involved you get is entirely up to you, how much impact depends on your location, skills and effort. Donations help, practically one useful thing is to get unengaged friends to actually vote. But mostly you will get emails.

Reslly appreciate the reply! I know my contributions are going to be miniscule in the grand scheme of things even if it just ends up with me helping out with door knocking and leaflet dropping.

All my friends that are politically engaged are going to vote greens or top (lol). I'm in the Dunedin electorate and there seems to be a nice little momentum building at the moment already.

Naw the member vote can rearrange it completely - it's the post-member-vote adjustments for balancing or politics that are capped at 2 positions.

Because the members can rearrange it, what is the point of releasing this list in its current state?

Brown took and made a number of phone calls and forwarded emails to his chief of staff.

The documents show he was having problems with his work iPad and wanted it fixed, but the on-duty IT person was dealing with their own flooded home.

Eventually someone else was called in but it appeared the mayor's iPad was out of action for at least an hour.

Favorite little bit from the article.
