He did.
speaker_10AUDIENCE
He worked with Fonterra in Takanini, and they have a staff shop there.

So he would buy for $20, like a 25-centimetre slab of free cheese, like just the circle ones, but just imagine it like huge.
DanHOST
Damn! Honestly, if I was getting free cheese, I'd be the size of a house.
Bob McCoskrieHOST
But what I did find interesting was just having a look at the electorates where people don't get enrolled, they're not that engaged.
Bob McCoskrieHOST
I was a bit concerned because my electorate's in there, Takanini, third, and then down the road, Papakura, fifth, Auckland Central, and then Manurewa, 11th.
Bob McCoskrieHOST
So there's three sort of in near proximity to me that they're just not that motivated to vote.
Bob McCoskrieHOST
Have you seen any evidence as to why certain electorates have very low engagement or, well, actually, just before you answer that question, high engagement? And interestingly, your old electorate, Tamaki, had one of the highest engagements of voters.

MikeAUDIENCE

MikeAUDIENCE

Nadine HuraGUEST
And it's such a tragic story because Tāmaki Makaurau, and you know this coming from Weymouth as well and Papakura and further south in Takanini, Papakura meaning red soils.
Nadine HuraGUEST
You cannot get more fertile land than this.
Nadine HuraGUEST
Fertile, great growing land.
Duncan GarnerHOST
Oh, it's terrible already
Maurice WilliamsonGUEST
... around Takanini, Takanini's...
Maurice WilliamsonGUEST
Yeah.
Maurice WilliamsonGUEST
So what the problem is, is you cannot no longer have level crossings.
Nancy LuGUEST
And it's basically a lucky draw.
Nancy LuGUEST
And so for the last two and a half years as an MP, I haven't been drawn, whereas my really good friend, Rima Nakli, another female MP, MP for Takanini, She had two pulled.
HaritaHOST
Oh, lucky.
