Rock’s self-proclaimed Prince of Darkness Ozzy Osbourne may be no more, but there is a little piece of the Waikato that will forever be a part of his legacy.

That little piece, specifically, is a field near Ngāruawāhia, not far from the banks of the Waikato River, where Osbourne - who died on Wednesday at the age of 76 - and his band Black Sabbath headlined a three-day event called the Great Ngāruawāhia Music Festival.

New political polling has the National Party headed towards one term in power, with a majority thinking the country is on the “wrong track”, disapproving of the Government’s performance and a near majority believing it is time to “give another party a go”.

The Talbot Mills polling for commercial clients, obtained by The Post, is similar to some other polls in recent months in that it shows a marginal Labour-led coalition could govern, if an election were to produce these results. Talbot Mills is also Labour’s pollster.
