New Zealand has joined its Five Eyes partners in expressing "grave concern over the erosion of democratic elements" in Hong Kong following the city's election over the weekend, the outcome of which was largely influenced by Beijing.
The Chinese National People's Congress earlier this year made a number of significant changes to the electoral system in Hong Kong which critics said undermined the autonomy the city was promised when it was transferred from Britain to China in 1997 under the 'one country, two systems model'.

Judith Collins may be backing Christopher Luxon as the next leader of the National Party, but her endorsement likely holds little sway with her caucus colleagues after her recent actions, one political commentator says.
Just hours after receiving a vote of no confidence from National MPs, former leader Collins told Newshub's Amelia Wade there were likely going to be a "couple of candidates" vying for her old job. Newshub understands the challengers could include Luxon, Mark Mitchell and Simon Bridges.

Simon Bridges isn't ruling out another tilt at the National Party leadership, instead only repeating - ad nauseum - that it's not his intention at this time.
And the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll shows that if his intentions happen to change, he has the public and his party on board.
