Influential New Zealand musician Buster Stiggs has died. He was 63.
Stiggs, real name Mark John Hough, was a founding member of The Swingers and a member of influential punk outfit Suburban Reptiles. He played drums on The Swingers' major hit Counting the Beat. -
To me the thing with postal ballots is that there is no real way of knowing that it was returned to the post/ballot box marked by the person to whom it was addressed.
When delivering local community newsletters in Richmond Chchch during the ‘Flag Exercise’ I noticed many stuck in overfull letterboxes of empty houses – this may just have been a post-earthquke Chchch thing.
They could also be just taken filled in and returned, or people who don’t give a toss could pass the form onto someone else to use their vote in aid of a particular outcome.
People will try anything.
I reckon at an election time (either local or national) is best – when people are more ‘civically aware’ and use the time up to that, to educate and engage the public.
