Luxon’s Stagnation, Winston’s Surge and the Economic Wake-Up Call: The Latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia Poll
This Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll is a snapshot of a nation at a crossroads. Kiwis are sending a clear message: fix the economy, cut the waste and stop preaching. The question is whether the politicians – especially Luxon and Seymour – will listen.

One Point In Mt Albert
Spinoff-Curia has Helen White on 33 and Melissa Lee on 32 in Mt Albert. Eighteen votes decided it in 2023. ACT and NZ First should clear the field for Lee. Every National electorate win without a list seat is another box for Willis, Bishop and Goldsmith.
The Insanely Stupid Idea Is Two Ticks Blue
Greens on a record 16 per cent, National and Labour stuck on 28 per cent and Luxon calls the overhang an ‘insanely stupid idea’. The stupid idea is sticking with two ticks blue while the polls sink.
Giant Douche. Turd Sandwich. Take Your Pick.
Every leader underwater. Luxon worst at 54/25. Hipkins ahead on seven of eight. Ardern still the only net favourable figure. South Park already named the ballot.

Quick Hit: Own It, Both Of You
National pledges a digital trans-Tasman trial before the 2028 T20 World Cup. Hipkins says he and Albanese agreed it in 2023. Luxon says you need National to get things done. The row is about credit, not caution. Own it, both of you.
Hipkins the Hypocrite
Hipkins called Harry Mowbray’s split-vote campaign an absolute rort by wealthy entrenched interests. Under MMP an overhang is a feature, not a loophole. Chippy only hates it when his mates aren’t running it. If it is absolute fraud, rule Te Pāti Māori out. He will not.
