This is just wrong. Yes there were massive right wing attack campaigns, but they were aimed squarely at Labor and teals. Genuinely surprising considering how hard they went against the Greens in the Prahran byelecton. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

If Josh Frydenberg had stood in Kooyong he would be leader of the opposition by the end of the week and potentially PM in 3 years. Almost feel sorry for him. Almost. #auspol

While I do agree with the premise of the article, really worth considering that headlines like this might have the effect of turning people away from voting and just making the problem worse.

I welcome folks standing for local government being honest about political affiliations, like City Vision has always been (Labour, Greens left non-party mbrs like me). It does get tiresome being told by former Nat Cabinet Ministers that they are independent. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/...

I've updated the Labour and National caucus lists to reflect the new rankings - so if you use the MMP or caucus calculators you can see who would be in or out of Parliament on current numbers. Enjoy! #nzpol

🆕 In today’s Playbook, will there be a Starmer bounce for his handling of Ukraine? Our polling over the weekend suggests maybe early signs of one. Starmer overtakes Farage, on who would make the best PM up 6pts from last week, though none of them still leads.

I've been working on a fun new tool to look at political ad spending in NZ. Fun fact: so far the most expensive single ad I've found is an ACT YouTube ad where they spent up to $90k targeting the entire county but excluded the entire Wellington region. They know their audience! #nzpol
