There was a group waiting opposite to where the PM was in Dunedin today.
The police looked nervous.
But rather than some protest, the people were just huge Ardern fans living their best life in the socialist republic of Dunedin.

I've covered riots, disorder, fires, the balcony collapse in 11 years covering student-related stories in Dunedin.
Te latest incident - the death of a young woman - is the fucking worst.

I started off as a reporter at a community newspaper.
Those reporters know their communities, and their communities know them.
If there are no reporters to shine a light on local councils, consent hearings, crime patterns, court etc we will all be poorer.
