In my column today I decide exactly how much MPs should be paid

I've gone through all the biggest winners and losers of the list here with interactive charts here.
It's worth noting that some people in winnable but very competitive races have impossibly low list rankings - including Craig Renney.

Labour will campaign on free maternity scans for all mothers www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...
New poll day!
www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...
I had a big chat to the chief electoral officer about:
- How they are preparing for the radically shortened enrolment period
- Why they still think special votes are going up
- Why the counting will still take the same as last time

NEW: Labour's first policy of 2026 is a public transport fare cap:
- $20 for AKL, Wellington, Chch,
- $10 for everywhere else

NEW: Labour has announced its list for the election with several first-time candidates rocketed well ahead of current caucus members - and the news that Greg O'Connor won't be standing at all
www.thepost.co.nz/politics/361...
Greg O'Connor tells me it was his decision to not stand and he made it over the weekend, while noting that the Labour list process "makes choosing the Pope look transparent"

OPINION: No one thinks the Prime Minister works ten times harder than a care worker - or ten times less than a CEO. But we pay him like he does.
ANALYSIS: The most obvious winners are the candidates who have never stood for Parliament, but have been rocketed into very winnable list slots. There is one major casualty.

Labour will go to the election promising all mothers free maternity scans using its new “Medicard”.
