Policy NZ - The complete guide to NZ Election 2020
While running as a candidate for the Whangarei District Council (Bream Bay ward) election last year I took part in the 2019 local elections tool Policy Local, to present my policies and priorities.
Now the platform is back as Policy NZ, providing us voters with a complete guide to the NZ Election 2020, including the policies, parties, candidates, and (coming soon) referendums. The Policy NZ team summarised 900+ policies from 550+ documents and speeches, and surveyed 500+ candidates across every electorate.
Research from the Electoral Commission shows that one in three non-voters cite ‘not knowing who to vote for’ as their main reason for not voting. Now there's no more excuse for not knowing - and for the roughly two thirds of us who vote the same as always, for whatever dubious reasons, it might be a chance to double-check that we're still supporting the right bunch, and to care and think before casting our votes.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
