Hi,

September was light on money. The election isn't light on work. Every day of this campaign there's more to read, check and explain, and it's only getting louder from here.

Take Tuesday. Before lunch there was a Quick Hit on Hipkins' first week, a full analysis piece on "The State Broadcasters' Favourite Kingmaker", and a cartoon, "The Maze". All of that takes hours, and all of it is paid for by the readers who chip in. Plenty more of you read every day and pay nothing.

If more of you don't start paying, I will cut content and services. I don't want that. You don't either.
