Winner,
First off, we just wanted to give a big shout out to all of our supporters for continuing to power our grassroots movement. Last week we asked if you could contribute to our 2020 campaign fund and help us reach our new target of 1,000 individual donors in October. And wow did we come close!
We knew it would take a huge effort to reach 1000 individual contributions, and with the help of people like you giving us a final push, we're so pleased to report back that we finished the month with 997 people contributing - just three people off our target!
My G*d!
Can this be right? Is it really a "huge effort" for the Labour Party to get a thousand donations?
Surely not!
I fear for the state of New Zealand democracy!

Sounds like the Labour government :
"It was an anti-climactic but somehow appropriate end to a mayoralty that had promised so much but delivered little. Three years earlier, Lester was doing plenty of smiling and waving to rapturous applause.
He was a young, articulate mayor; a surprise star at the Labour Party's annual conference. Even before we were dazzled by Jacindamania there was a little Lesterphoria.
"But over the next three years, the mayor, those around him and even the Labour Party, would spill those gifts, like water poured on hot ground: promises not kept, spin replacing substance, dysfunctional leadership, and little achieved."
Star dust replaced by bull dust.

A ‘rising star’ in the Labour Party is a Wellington City Councillor - has same problem, Party first and her town second
She doesn’t make much of the fact she’s on the Labour Council and was one of the investigative team into the sexual assault allegations. One of her aims on the WCC ‘is Tom eliminating the widespread sexual harassment’
Wellington is so lucky having so much Central government involvement in local affairs

'A rising star' in the Labour party ?
I suppose if you're surrounded by falling stars you will eventually arrive at the top.

When there is no scum, there will still be a top, the cream goes there too. No other party has had the same no. of falling stars as the current lot.

Yeah, and in the sunlight cream goes off very quickly. No other party has had the attention of a hostile media either.
