If Labour ant to win back Auckland they are going to need to celebrate , thank and say sorry to Auckland.
That last Covid lockdown was so painful for many Aucklanders.
It gets lost in the anger that Auckland should be celebrated and thanked for our stamina during that last lockdown BECAUSE REMEMBER WHY WE WENT INTO THAT SECOND LOCKDOWN!
Auckland went into that second lockdown so that the rest of the country could get their immunisation rates up.
Auckland took the strain while the rest of the country rushed to get immunised.
Auckland should be thanked and celebrated for its collective sacrifice for the good of the nation and Labour should apologise, celebrate and thank Auckland with policy that recognises that sacrifice.

Labour needs to apologise to New Zealand.
Ok, fair enough, say thanks. But Labour disappointed Aucklanders and the whole of NZ with their stupid incremental policies when they were given a blank check to spend to complete upheaval of societal injustice. Please note that idiot Chippy saying the reasons why he wants a four year parliamentary term is because governments can move slower on policy. What the fuck is that idiot saying. For Labour, no lessons learnt from the election loss and his part in it. It certainly was not just a grudge fuck because of Covid. Nothing has changed.
Well said Comet.Labour and their voice people push the lie that they lost the election due to covid hate but the truth is they were useless in actually getting stuff done and along the way over spent and destroyed the economy.
When history is written it will record so much promise so little achieved
Exactly Trevor.
Labour the party of procrastinators while the Greens do the Mahi and produce policies that leave labour in the 1980 90s dust.
Screw labour Chloeeeeee for PM and Marama for deputy PM in 2026.
Exactly. If he wasn’t a complete oxygen-thief he’d be promising to reverse everything passed by the Luxon regime under urgency on Day 1.
What a load of old balls. Fuck Auckland. You greedy, false-economy free loaders are over. If our farmers went on the strike that I’d like to see you Aucklanders would be eating each other in a month and not in that good way. Celebrate Gore instead and get it right.
It’s so coldly funny. The tallest buildings you can see in the above photo are now foreign owned banks and a casino. But are they edible? I don’t think so.
Further proof how stupid the Labour Party and its supporters are.
Martyn – Great points raised…but, Labour will not – think Helen White, Labour MP.
Is this like Trump’s Gratutude day?
She did numerous times throughout.

You live in Auckland or something?
I have often thought this site is so Auckland-centric. Martyn, fyi, other parts of NZ exist.
Auckland was fun between lockdowns, everyone forgets that. the world was fucked and we weren’t.
Lone comet I think you are saying what most middle voters thought.
