Back in May, New Zealand’s Ardern Government vowed to end low-skilled, wage crushing migration via a “once-in-a generation” reset for New Zealand’s immigration system.

I wrote recently about how poor turnout is for Western Australia’s voluntary council elections, but other states tend to have higher levels. Turnout for the 2016 Brisbane City Council election (the most recent I have data for) was slightly higher than NSW, at 83.7%. The 2020 Victorian council elections had an average turnout of 81.4%, apparently the “highest ever”. |
