The Luxon Govt is once again putting corporate profits ahead of people’s health by proposing freshwater policies that will drive more dairy pollution at the expense of safe drinking water and swimmable rivers. #ToomanyCows #TooMuchInfluence #nzpol

‼️ RSB ‼️ This Bill is anti-Māori, anti-diversity, & anti-democracy The Regulatory Standards Bill lets judges strike down laws that support Te Tiriti, equity, or kaupapa Māori. It’s ACT’s agenda in disguise & it’s live now Subs close 1pm, Monday 23 June. Flood the system ‼️ #NZPol #ToitūTeTiriti

Looking forward to joining this newly-formed 'People's Select Committee' on pay equity, alongside nine other former women MPS - providing a democratic, open process for public submission after the NZ govt slammed through a retrospective law taking out all current pay equity claims. #nzpol #kikorangi

This one's very important for EVERYONE - the RSB opens us up to an American hellscape with many unintended consequences. It's part of the Coalition agreement, and they passed the first stage through urgency. But this Select Committee process is arguably MORE important than the TPB. SUBMIT. #nzpol

"Putting aside the myth that government debt is always a bad thing, the fact that Nicola Willis’s incurred debt is now higher than 6 years of the Ardern Labour government combined is another extraordinary feat of hypocrisy - and indeed, in context, incompetence."

I enjoy the way #Andor reframes "The fascists built a genocide machine" from A New Hope, in ways that complement and enrich that film rather than undermining it. Star Wars is breezy space opera but with a nuts-and-bolts universe. Andor extends that battered aesthetic to the people and storytelling.

I mean, that could really be said about most things this govt is doing. "Old man says other man should lose his job cause old man is "offended"" is just the latest in a long list of quiet alarm bells. Next question. Who sets off the alarm bells? Us or the media? Crickets Must be us then #nzpol

This is the worst punishment handed down EVER in our history. The worst on record was 3 days! When Tangata whenua resist, colonial powers reach for maximum penalty. This is a warning shot to all of us to fall in line. E kore rawa matau e tuohu! #toitūtetiriti #toitūtemanamāori #NZPol

Opinion: The extraordinarily complex job of a librarian almost always requires a master’s degree. There isn’t a single male-dominated profession with comparable skills that requires the same, so why, asks librarian Mandy Henk, are librarians being repeatedly denigrated?

This will always happen when the administration is complicated and frankly, unnecessary. Do it universal and to recover the money increase tax on high earners. Or a much better solution - nationalise education including ECE. Education should not be a for profit business. #nzpol

#NZpol ICYMI I dunno what anyone else thinks, but it would pay to spread the word this isn't how functioning democracies should operate. Society involves ALL OF US. These things are inherently against the compact we are supposed to have between the public and those given the right to govern.

OK, this is wild. In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them. It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for nine days. What the HELL? 1/

Willis is also lying here. The pay equity amendment prevents backpay from being awarded by the authority. Support workers lost out on their shot at over 3 years worth of back pay when their claim was cancelled, what is that but a pay cut? It's money straight from their pockets. #nzpol

What we’re seeing from this govt goes beyond austerity, this is deliberate ideological violence dressed up as fiscal discipline. Its not about balancing books it’s about rebalancing power away from te tiriti, equity & the most marginalised toward the privileged,white, able-bodied majority #oneterm

Bernard Hickey: The Govt’s retrospective law wrecks 33 pay equity deals. $17 billion in wages & back-pay will not now go to over 150,000 workers. That means the $14 billion of tax cuts going mostly to landlords & highest earners are being paid for by wage cuts for the poorest NZers, mostly women.

$14billion on tax cuts, $3.9billion to just the landlord class, 10+Billion on “enhanced lethality” half a billion on cancellation of rail enabled ferries, millions on David Seymour’s vanity project the ministry for maximum harm…Fuck OFF! #OneTermGovernment #nzpol www.stuff.co.nz/politics/360...

These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay. (Also listed in alt text)
