No post on the local body election results yet, I note. That is a bit disappointing, but I trust it will come tomorrow.
Auckland had Goff win as expected, by a large margin ahead of Crone, and Chloe Swarbrick even beating Palino to come third, which is impressive. Penny Bright has dropped compared to earlier elections, she should perhaps rather focus on activism pure now, and leave aspirations for high office to others.

Today US is a corrupt power ever since china took over as the most powerful economy.
Just clutching at straws.
