New political polling has the National Party headed towards one term in power, with a majority thinking the country is on the “wrong track”, disapproving of the Government’s performance and a near majority believing it is time to “give another party a go”.

The Talbot Mills polling for commercial clients, obtained by The Post, is similar to some other polls in recent months in that it shows a marginal Labour-led coalition could govern, if an election were to produce these results. Talbot Mills is also Labour’s pollster.

But two Super Rugby Pacific seasons later, here he now is, the eight-test former All Black, at the helm of the franchise he captained in many of his 69 games between 2001-2008, as he gets back on the head-coaching horse and tries to lead his former side to the promised title land.

The island nation of New Zealand claims guardianship over a vast ocean territory. In fact, our Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) spans 15 times our land area. Despite this, less than 1% of our ocean is highly protected.

Sheridan Waitai, member of One Oceania, argues that New Zealand is failing its obligations, and our failure is being noticed internationally.

Sheridan and others argue that the health of our oceans is declining as they face climate change, overfishing, and pollution. While other nations are championing ocean protection, New Zealand has been quiet on this topic.

We want to know: Are we meeting our responsibilities in the management of our blue territory?
