This from Stuff nearly a year ago: Wellington Mayor Justin Lester has tossed his hat in the ring for a second term. Labour announced their line-up on Sunday, with all the existing Wellington City Council Labour councillors Brian Dawson, Peter Gilberd and Fleur Fitzsimons all seeking re-election next
The latest 1News poll is out and they exclaim that National plus one seat from ACT means that they can govern alone. That means that they would achieve something John Key never did and let’s face it if Key couldn’t do it then it is highly unlikely that

Clown world. What a cruel girl. The boy did nothing wrong and yet the judge has chosen to rule that the crybaby victim’s accusations are credible. What a delicate flower the crybaby is to wilt when her elbow is touched. Meanwhile in Rotherham hundreds of young girls are sexually
