I'm in Dunedin.

So he's given a speech on the future of local government for Wellington City, calling for amalgamation.

He says if a referendum were held today, he would vote for amalgamation.

Would you?

Yeah, I mean, this feels like a done deal in Wellington, doesn't it, Mitch?

Come on, Julie, you knew the answer to that.

It's because you were doing all the co-governance.

No, it absolutely is.

I mean, we can talk about the financial structure and stuff like that, but you guys had a half-decent idea that you blew up.

Now, Ginny, you're getting some running on the emails.

I see One News was leading with this last night.

This is the email from Fonterra to Matt Burgess in the PM's office.

Yeah, yeah.

But the missing link is, can you connect it to Chris Luxon?

It's not OK.

It doesn't make it OK.

But everybody does it.

You guys will be aware of that.

But the thing about it is... No, I don't think everyone does do it.

If we're checking up on each other, are you ripping off the accommodation allowance, Ginny?
