Take me somewhere new
I've already been here once before
Somewhere unbelievable
Before it starts to blow up
Take me somewhere new
I've already been here twice before
Let's get out of here
I'm bored this place is gonna blow up

Substack used to call this a query post, as opposed to a normal newsletter. They’ve deprecated that option now, perhaps realising it wasn’t much different than a regular one. As I begin, I have the following options:
A query post was one of those that posed questions. What do you think about BLAH? Or Ask Me Anything. So today is one of those; let’s have a kōrero, a wee chat about the future. In particular, what is going to happen?
It’s time for your predictions. What do you think will occur and why? There are no wrong answers just conversation starters. By all means, be robust in your views or comments, but let’s keep it polite.
So, what are you predicting? Well, anything you like.
Which Cabinet Minister will resign first? Who will win the US election? Maybe you’re interested in the America’s Cup or some other sporting event - tell us what will happen. Is there some new law or initiative you guess the government might pursue?
Or how about the last straw that will break the camel’s back? Do you have any predictions about what might cause those who voted for this government to lose faith? Will there be any changes in party leaders before the election? Will something cause the coalition to implode?
Anything at all; it’s open-ended; it can be politics, sports, world events, your favourite soap opera, or whatever you like.
So go on then, what are you waiting for? What do you predict will happen and why?
Have a great day, all you lovely people. Let’s have some fun. No worries if you’re a bit busy; I’ll have something different tomorrow.
I have left this one open to all, but I’ll lock it down to paid subscribers if there is troll activity.
So many thoughts. Luxon will be rolled before the next election. If the term lasts 3 years that is. When Winston steps down, will he topple the apple cart and cause a snap election? I definitely hope so. There will be mass protests about te Tiriti and the privatisation of our health system. 🤔
Nicola Willis will roll Luxon mid next year.
We will keep the Americas Cup. Although Grant Dalton will continue to be an asshole.
The fact that Kamala Harris isn’t 20 points up on the weird orange guy continues to defy logic.
Tim Southee might not play another test.
Kieran McNulty(sp?) will probably be Labour’s next leader.
