Nice. Is that air pollution or is it raining in Auckland? Frog is teaching the tadpoles to filibuster, pirate style. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster

..and so voting tactically to help achieve/solidify this..?..
..and it all adding up to a victory..?

Good One Rusty! ; get the Communista sighns down and splash some green around there baby!
We comin down soon as Manny steals a car…
be grrreen in their own scene
be a fly, in invisible sky
a boo, wolf in sheeps clo’
or a frog beware, it’s too deep
you stare, into the bog
and know, that you’ll rise above in honeyed air
and life becomes, what once was sacred
Lay at your feet, Fair thee….it’s the heart that comes,
takes you nowhere.

a pure blood New Zealander

I have been reading the news around the Mt Albert elections, and it seems many Labour Party members are dissatisfied because of Goff arrogantly dismissing the candidate the local Labour Party branch wanted and bringing in his own favorite. It demonstrates something that is widespread among the Labour Party hierarchy, a contempt for its own grass roots support.
I saw this during the 2005 election campaign when I met a lot of grass roots Labour supporters and realised they were really not that different from the Greens. I saw it again when the environmental branch of the Labour party (similar to the National Blue-Greens, only more similar to Green Party values) asked the Labour led government and the Labour minister of Agriculture to ban battery hen cages, and the minister patronised them and got the Ministry of Agriculture to quote bad science at them to justify the status quo.
I saw it working for the ministry for the environment when a branch of the Labour Party wrote to the Minister stating its policy of continuing with the GM moratorium. Again the Minister arrogantly dismissed this.
So I hope Russel gets all the disaffected Labour supporters because the Green Party is far closer to the ideals that the Labour Party was founded on than the current party with that name.

I’d say the problem with the photo is just light frog, would be extremely unusual to get that kind of air pollution in Mt Albert as far as I know.

Priceless – you look good against the old red hoardings, esp with the rosette!
I’m sure it’s a ‘doer-upper’, but I s’pose it can be made cosy, given time.
