** Update for December 3, 2025 ------------------------------------------------------------ ** Scrutiny Week ------------------------------------------------------------ One of our busiest weeks of the year is Scrutiny Week (https://www.facebook.com/NZLabourParty/videos/its-time-for-national-to-front-up/1388692396264723/) - an important way in which we hold the Government to account. The Parliament itself doesn’t sit, rather, Select Committees examine the performance of public agencies. The heads of these agencies appear before the committees. You can watch me grill Ministry for Regulation boss Grainne Moss in the quick video below - just click on the image - it’s clear David Seymour’s pet Ministry isn’t meeting standards, which is kind of ironic. Select Committees continue Thursday and Friday - I’ve added a link to the schedule below so you can find a committee and watch the action. Committee schedule (https://selectcommittees.parliament.nz/upcoming-committee-meetings) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/6YE5ma8Ewvg ** Options for governance of Canterbury ------------------------------------------------------------ With the Government announcing plans to disestablish regional councils like Ecan and replace them with mayoral-led panels, the conversation around amalgamation (https://www.odt.co.nz/star-news/star-christchurch/creating-christchurch-unitary-council-good-idea) has heated up again. What do you think? Should Canterbury explore options, and what’s your preference?
