The glee with which the media has seized on the latest political poll has us all feeling a little nauseous. Don't these things have a margin of error of plus or minus 4%?

Don't these things have a margin of error of plus or minus 4%? The minor drop for Labour has been over-egged in extreme. Think the media is all gagging to tear the Labour govt to shreds. Probably just so they can publish something that will sell. But they should be careful what they wish for. Or have they forgotten how repressive, stultifying, regressive, and just plain toxic a National government is?
When the Nats start tearing Labour's welfare initiatives to shreds, everyone will be worse off. School Lunches gone, with many low income families struggling to put food on the table. This is Nicola Willis's definition of "waste". She is clearly an advocate of Maggie Thatcher, who once declared "there is no such thing as society".
Prescription charges reinstated, the winter energy payment scrapped. Older people dying earlier from excess winter mortality or at best suffering in cold damp houses without the medical care they need. And abolishing all this "waste" is such a false economy, as the taxpayer ends up paying for it three times over in medical costs further down the line. But of course that doesn't bother the media. Their mantra is "if it bleeds, print it". They Don't Care Who bleeds.
For once I agree with Winston, the media are a bunch of childish, bitchy, churlish brats. I detect a lot more tolerance and understanding of the issues Labour has been facing in the electorate, despite what the media would have us believe.
Final call for winter deals, neighbours!

Pelvic imbalance and dysfunction is an extremely common presentation that we see in practice.
Repetitive stressors, postural changes, and historical injuries can all contribute in creating dysfunction within the pelvic girdle, and that can lead to various compensations throughout the body! 👇
💥 Spinal Misalignment
🦵 Uneven Leg length
🏃♀ Altered Gait
💪 Muscle Imbalances
🦶 Knee & Foot Issues
🤸 Restricted Range of Motion
At The Chiro, our detailed assessment of the pelvis includes range of motion and postural testing, muscle strength assessment and spinal analysis. We also utilise X-ray to get accurate measurements to determine the extent of the imbalance.
So if you've been looking for improvement in your Samba, get in touch with us! We would love to help 💃🕺.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.
I have been a strong advocate for amalgamating local Government in the Wellington region. So much so that I was part of a small team of advocates some years ago under the chairmanship of Kerry Prendergast.

So much so that I was part of a small team of advocates some years ago under the chairmanship of Kerry Prendergast.
But pipes for water and sewerage are now such a huge issue for Wellington and Lower Hutt in particular and somewhat in Porirua. So much so that Upper Hutt would be foolish to want to amalgamate and help carry the burden of the billions of dollars required to bring the piping up to the reasonable standard enjoyed by Upper Hutt residents.
Perhaps there is a way around it. Central Government might want to step in and provide taxation dollars to fix the problem that sees a wastage of upwards of 50% of water from burst and leaking water pipes and sewerage piping also leaking and contaminating streams which flow into the sea. And thus "pave the way" for a level playing field for ratepayers and the local councils in the region to join forces under one umbrella, one city.
