There are some major ranking shifts. Māori City MP Kushla Tangery uh Manual, Tangeri Manual, uh jumps to ninth, while Venushi Walters rises to eighth after returning to Parliament this term. These are high up in the in in the rankings. And no, I haven't heard of them either. Names I have heard of, such as Camera Camilla Belich and Deborah Russell, have dropped down the rankings they may struggle to return. And poor old MP Greg O'Connor. Having had his electorate over O'Hario withdrawn and redrawn from beneath them, he's not even on the list. So this is a de facto announcement of his retirement, and he's not happy. Now remember that Chris Hipkins promised policy after the budget to answer our questions. Questions like, will they reverse the public service spending cuts? Will they reverse the defense spend up? Will they finally unveil a meaningful capital gains tax regime? But here we are, 17 days after the budget, and still no trace of policy.
