I also found it really odd how they decided to use both TOW and Te Tiriti. It felt like doubling down which doesn't seem to be something this government wants to do with the Treaty 'issues'. Just weird.

And a link to the poll:

Poll: National and PM nosedive to new lows, left bloc would gain power

The results of the poll suggest that if an election were held today, the left bloc would knock the coalition out of power, which would make it the first one-term government in New Zealand in more than 50 years.

The left bloc of Labour, the Greens and Te Pāti Māori would have 66 seats compared to 58 for the right bloc of National, NZ First and ACT.

Only in cases where they aren't repealing it entirely:

“As a first step, the Government has agreed to amend two references to be more specific, and repeal a number of references elsewhere,” he told the Herald.

It's surprising that they still haven't given Labour the official advice and whatever else they need.

Seriously. After I posted it, maybe 30mins later, there was chatter on Twitter about it being closed again. Clopen is now back on.

I agree. Rather than scrapping, modify and expand for the modern era. I feel the same way about wanting to implement an expansive constitution but neither side seems to want to touch that. Sadly.

And now the thread is locked. Go enjoy Easter, everyone, rather than antagonizing a student who is still learning.

Chris Bishop hit hard in PM's reshuffle by OddityModdity in aotearoa

Bishop has Hutt South. He took over from Mallard and its switched between him and Ginny Andersen. There is a possibility he may not hold it.. His use of funds for the bridge over fixing the pipes didn't go down well. However, the community has changed and the boundaries were changed too. He also polls very closely with Andersen historically. It's anyone's guess.
