    Bipartisan is a word that is often said and talked about, but seldom seen in action. Surveys show voters feel the political world is growing more divided, and more than a third of people think Parliament is just for arguing politicians. And yet, away from the arena of the House, or the cameras and microphones of the bridge run, New Zealand's members of Parliament are a surprisingly collegial bunch. This is demonstrated no better than on the sports field.

An old public radio time capsule was found at parliament, and security were worried it was a bomb. After they opened it and cleared it as safe, they gave it to me. And yes, it shouldn’t have been opened for another 25 years. https://t.co/guOkS03kFc
