Lindsay Mitchell lindsaymitchell.blogspot.com As the election looms, two minor parties, both likely to feature in the next parliament – ACT and the Greens – couldn’t be further apart in their tenets regarding welfare and child well-being. Perhaps the single-most underrated and under-reported issue in New Zealand

Please remember that Jacinda Ardern did not win the last election. She improved on their polling and arguably got a better result than they would have under Little (which is tantamount to the multiple Facebook “thumbs up” for a picture of a cute kitten), but neither she nor Labour won
