Well, I've been there a few times now, and I got to see Waiheke Island, as well as Okura when we visited in 2019. I'm keen to move. I think that it's a chance to expand my ethos, and I got the vibe that Chloe's quite keen for me to live in Auckland Central. However, I'm still sticking it out in Wellington for the rest of 2024. I think that my current place is the right place to write my book, given that I can still visit the CBD to capture that flavour. - Plus there's the political stuff: Gary and Dakta are going on their bucket list trip during the winter, so that's my time to shine re: Question Time. Plus probably a submission to the Select Committee. I'm overjoyed at the polls, and I think that augurs well for my debates!🏳️‍⚧️ - I'm also considering moving to Dunedin. I've been there before: in Year 11, I was in the mixed choir and we went to the Big Sing finals there. Plus I saw Chris Martin score his only double-digit test score against Bangladesh at the University Oval with my Dad. It's nice to have options.

I'm simply refusing to film the Tina movie. I'm not saying you can't make it: I'm just saying that I'm not going to be involved and I refuse to do it, no matter which songs you choose. I'm done with that idea, and that's why I'm writing my stories instead: that's my version of the story, and other people are welcome to tell theirs. I'm not going to be persuaded, and that's final. Plus, if you want the factual version, there's always my Dakumentary. That's my real story, and I honestly think that it's quite compelling.
