Rates caps are service cuts. They are intended to force Councils to adopt the Government's ideology - austerity and privatisation of assets.

The government does not believe in local democracy. #nzpol

David Seymour described smokers as “fiscal heroes” during a speech to a neoliberal thinktank in London this month: ““If you want to save your country’s balance sheet, light up, because … lots of excise tax, no pension.”

Tobacco researchers are…unimpressed: newsroom.co.nz/2025/06/21/s...

InternetNZ swamped by new members amid row with Free Speech Union Dispute appears to centre on whether new constitution for the administrator of ‘.nz’ addresses could result in ‘censorship’.

Internet NZ membership increased from 280 to more than 1200 after Free Speech Union & Hobsons Pledge (both affiliated with Jordan Williams) suggested their members vote to change the not-for-profit's constitution

And there it is; the new zealand fire sale begins. This is the selling of taxpayer assets and organisations built to serve us, being offered up wholesale to extract profit for others

Two aspects are defining the Diles era at Melbourne Victory for me. 1. Not making the most of obvious goal scoring opportunities. 2. Poor defensive lapses leading to goals.

1.Mainly on the players. They need to do better.
2.A repeating issue that Diles has to sort out.

For sure, but still would've been a large majority being Victory supporters dragging their average up.

Only reason it was decent for Western is because they were hosting Victory at AAMI.
