This is one of the most important things I’ve seen. Max Porter’s Wild West is a glimpse into British violence - colonial, institutional, chillingly ordinary. We are a country haunted by brutal hidden truths. I had tears streaming down my face at the end. Trust me, watch. youtu.be/qGXcDz8PU4A?...

If the Government—who insist the VET reforms will save the skills-based training sector—let this closure happen, it makes a joke of the suggestion that the reforms are anything but ideologically driven backlash from a Minister who simply hates Te Pūkenga.

"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."

“The People’s Select Committee has been established so the voices of the people of Aotearoa can be heard on pay equity.” Submit here - because the scale and impact of pay equity changes in NZ should be recorded, reported, scrutinised - and decision makers held to account.👇 www.payequity.org.nz

david seymour wants to not just sever Te Tiriti from all legislation, he wants to make libertarian (fuck you I’ve got mine) ideology the constitution of NZ then install himself as a king of all legislation past and present. That is the Regulatory Standards Bill. #nzpol
