What John Tamihere's Return Means

The decision by Labour's ruling council to allow John Tamihere to rejoin the party should be interpreted as one of the following:

Waitakere To Get Waitakere Man?

Claire Trevett reports that John Tamihere has rejoined the Labour Party and wants to stand for Waitakere.

I don't rate his chances, assuming Carmel Sepuloni decides to stand again. She came within a few votes of taking the seat off Paula Bennett, despite Labour doing badly across the country.
