Wellington City Councillor for the Takapū/Northern Ward. Authorised by Benjamin Patrick McNulty, [email protected].
Straight up undemocratic and purley about making voting more difficult for those who may not be inclined to support this government.
Stopping people from being able to update their electoral details on the spot just further disenfranchises voters who move often (renters, seasonal workers etc.). A bad move that’ll only harm people’s democratic right to vote thepost.co.nz/politics/36076…
Turns out my vibes based posting is scientifically accurate: 🗺: @rustie5555
Someone on Reddit wanted a map stereotyping areas of Wellington so I was more than happy to assist:
Oh no... anyways.
Bloxham’s out! Controversial Wellington mayoral candidate Graham Bloxham quits race after “talking to the neighbour’s cat” nzherald.co.nz/nz/wellington/…

Beersposting on main again. 🍺 Another liquor license horror story where our regulatory focus is completely off. Having councillors willing to challenge the status quo come October is vital to turning our city around.
Hell yeah Winston going back to the classics: rampant xenophobia
✅️ Fixing leaks has been a genuine win from this council. Last election walking the streets was a safety hazard with moss & lichen everywhere. ❌️ Replacing pipes however has been an abject failure. 650m last year in WCC vs. 9.2km at HCC. thepost.co.nz/nz-news/360771…
Was gonna tell the CCC candidate who's paid ads showed up in my feed that they're wasting $ but then they spouted off some nonsense about townhouses being problematic so I'm just gonna leave them be.
Tactix are absolutely dominating this final. Hard to see the Mystics pulling ahead at 12 points behind.
Thanks for all the video suggestions, went with @eph__em__era though @okanepeter had a compelling suggestion. The Takapū Ward's hidden gem: Seton Nossiter Park:
Why though? It's publicly accessible information and not disclosing just makes it look like there's something to hide.
YCBDIWOAGD - You Can't Beat Doorknocking In Wellington On A Good Day. 👍🚪☀️ Hit the pavement in Grenada Village with our Te Whanaganui-a-Tara Ward candidate Matthew Reweti. It's not every day you get invited into a residents backyard to bask in the sun while talking politics!
Based.
The legislation hasn’t passed yet, but Vic Uni is already gearing up to knock Gordon Wilson down!
Time for another 'It's Okay To Contact Your Councillor'. This week: stormwater infrastructure and roading 💧🚧
Wellington is the only major region in New Zealand that is consenting more new houses now than it was this time last year.
2025/26 FY rates are now online. The average increase across WCC is 12% but with revaluations there is likely to be a decent level of variability. I'm fortunate enough to be at about 9% this year 👇 wellington.govt.nz/property-rates…
RIP to the Flymo defeated by months of neglected back lawn. Hello to my new petrol powered friend (because I don't trust battery powered lawnmowers to do the job).
