Post #4367427

For political tragics like me, it is good to see today's edition of Bernard Hickey's The Kākā newsletter is now open to all, not just subscribers. Highlights include: - A deep dive look at the disenfranchisment of a generation. Enrolment of 18-24 year olds for Nov 7 election collapses to 53% from 70% - A senior figure in New Zealand First’s youth wing, Nicholas Newport (also known as Nicholas Wells), has been linked to a neo-Nazi group - The Post-$ published an editorial this morning titled: ‘Luxon’s impotence makes him prime minister in name only,’ - Almost a million notifications did not get sent to people eligible for cancer screening due to flaws in the national cervical cancer screening programme, [A reminder it's OK to mute a hashtag, or block, unfollow, or mute someone for whatever reason, including your own mental health. With the election looming there is bound to be more #NZPol posts which I know aren't everyone's cup of tea.] #NZPol https://thekaka.substack.com/p/a-generation-being-disenfranchised
