Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily. Today on The Spinoff: Why Wellington is considering a switch to land value rates, how no-cause evictions make a farce of healthy homes standards and what’s going on with the Auckland bus fan pages?
“I first met David Lange in Siberia. Not the Russian region. Down a squeaking corridor in an annex to the old parliament buildings, sat a colossus: the deputy leader of the New Zealand Labour Party. David was some distance from his leader as if separated by the Urals from a purgatory place for dissidents. This was “Siberia”. It was 1981, and David was out of sorts with the determined Labour leader Bill Rowling, having ousted Bill’s mate Bob Tizzard two years earlier as deputy leader, and just failing to do the same to Bill late in 1980.”
