You'll need to post your voting papers by tomorrow Tuesday 8 October, to ensure they'll be received for counting by noon on Saturday (12 Oct). But you can also drop them into libraries right up to Saturday. And if you don't have voting papers, go online to the Wellington City Council's website or ring them to get yours or find out whether you're eligible. You will need to do it in the next few days.
I am standing for re-election to the Wellington Constituency of GWRC and for re-election to CCDHB. I am happy to answer any last-minute questions about my policies if you wish. Happy voting!

Doors open 5.45pm. Lecture runs 6pm to 7pm.
For centuries, Latin American music has been moving bodies on dance floors across oceans, city limits, borders and walls. It took millions of European immigrants for tango (it takes two) to come into being. Millions poured into Mexico City to produce romantic and revolutionary ballads, and a wave of Latin American immigrants got New Yorkers moving to the rhythm of salsa. Other music styles, such as Cuban Trova and rock, are all part of the story surrounding some of the different moves – and mythologies – behind the transforming power of Latin American music.
Presenter bio:
Associate Professor Leonel Alvarado is an award-winning poet who heads the Spanish and Portuguese Programmes at Massey University and teaches Latin American music, literature and travel writing. Among his books are Driving with Neruda to the Fish ‘n’ Chips and El lirismo patriótico centroamericano: himnos, nacionalismo e identidad.

Simon Bridges says "The reality is if you're not in work, education or training, you're going to be languishing in a dole queue, and the evidence is potentially for a long time". Do you agree with this policy? Should parents be fined?
