I've asked this in Local Government, but there's a fair few different folk in this forum - who's Labour amongst the "independent" Supercity candidates? I'm north of the bridge and would like to know my best options for councillor and local board (I'…
In the impending Supercity elections up AK way, most of Auckland don't get to vote for the Labour brand. In those parts of the city that only have "independents", is there a knowledge of who's really Labour? I'm north of the bridge and I'd like to k…

Surely in opposition any media is better than no media, regardless of who it is for? We need to get our message out however we can...
