Last Call For Votes!
By this point, many of you would have already voted - well done, and thank you; you’ve done your part to make democracy real. But the final few hours still matter - if you know someone who hasn’t voted yet, like a neighbour, friend or family member, do give them a gentle nudge. Or maybe even offer them a lift into town if they need one? When we encourage one another to take part, we strengthen more than the process - we strengthen community. Let’s make sure every voice that wants to be heard, is heard!
*Please note that every vote must go directly into a ballot box now - posted votes won’t make it in time to be counted. Voting closes at 12 noon, Saturday.
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

One size fits all rates cap model ‘unworkable’, says Waipā DC
Waipā District Council says the government’s “one size fits all” proposal to cap rate rises could disproportionately harm fast-growing councils such as Waipā.
On Wednesday, Strategic Planning and Policy committee members debated the council’s submission on the proposed rates cap model.
Recommendation
Any recommendations please for someone who can knock out a dent in a car bumper.
