Kia ora koutou, New to here, but not new to this. Te Pāti Māori has been on the frontlines, fighting for our whānau, defending Te Tiriti, and pushing for a future where Māori thrive. This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement. Follow the kaupapa. @whaeadeb.bsky.social @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social #NZPol

This is a great explanation of the Regulatory Standards Bill and why it REALLY sucks. Duncan ‘constitutional entrenchment of neoliberal principles..’ Me ‘it really sucks’ We can both be right! #nzpol

Getting in your submission on the Principles of the Treaty of Waitangi Bill is still the most pressing priority (before 7 Jan) but while you’re holding the pen here’s a submission guide (closes 13th) on its “dull but dangerous cousin” the Regulatory Standards Bill: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

If it's not OK to execute tech bro CEOs on the street, no matter how much you'd like to, its only fair they not be allowed to steal other people's intellectual property without their assent and proper compensation. Quid pro quo, Clarice. Quid pro quo.

The brilliant Arena Williams, MP for Manurewa, describes the $$$ benefit that Winton will gain, much of it from rate/taxpayers. Us, in other words. The Hansard transcript is here too - it’s appalling stuff. Winton donated around $100k to the National Party, just as an aside. #nzpol

one of the things we are going to regret most about the last decade is not making cryptocurrency flat illegal. i think you should think hard about what it means to have much of the president's inner circle heavily invested in an asset class which depends on the collapse of the American economy.

The Minister of Finance and the Treasury released its Half Year Economic and Fiscal Update today, and with it – its ‘plan’ for the Budget in 2025 in the Budget Policy Statement. The indicators show very clearly that it’s not working for anyone. A long thread (apologies) #nzpol

No Plan, No Idea, No Ferries. Today’s announcement by the Minister of Finance means we don't know: - where replacement ferries are coming from - how much they will cost - who will pay for them - how the port infrastructure will be delivered, - the fiscal or economic impact A 🧵

Hes a vile, shifty little troll. Every employee wide call he came on he stated that he had inherited a mess and he was the only one that could save us. Basically blame the victim before you stab them in the front. I hope his karma arrives soon.

And now we have the answer: the Auditor-General agrees. Redundancies and holiday back pay was counted in the year before they were incurred. Former CFO Rosalie Hughes is vindicated, and Lester Levy is left looking quite untrustworthy.

"Curia Market Research found in breach of industry standards" One open question is why David Farrar was able to get wind of RANZ's planned suspension/expulsion before hand - and was therefore able to 'resign' before the penalty? i.e. Who showed him the email. That needs to be answered by RANZ.

My piece today in which I show how all 3 right wing Coalition partner leaders are working together to discredit the historic Hikoi. Plus, how ACT and Jordan Williams astroturf with fake profiles across social media to sow disinformation and confusion. #nzpol #Kiwi
