Episode Synopsis

Now to vote - before noon, a week on Saturday. At this stage of the 2022 election 6.2% of votes had been cast locally, but this time it's 17.3% (see https://www.waikatodistrict.govt.nz/docs/default-source/your-council/elections/elections-2025/vote/waidc_rtnsbb1e193f36f361b3b84dff0000681c44.pdf?sfvrsn=72ed78c8_0). In the whole of Waikato District 7% had voted. This time it's 15.8%. Presumably the difference is the turnout to support the continuation of Māori wards. As the December centenary of the formation of The White New Zealand League (formed December, 1925), of Pukekohe, approaches, we'll be able to see what, if any, progress has been made.The confusing explanation of why Raglan should have fewer buses than Morrinsville, despite having more passengers, is shown in an email sequence with Regional Council at https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=25017949651164170&set=gm.1950387172189320&idorvanity=325348818026505.What do you think?
