Integrity Report: NZers are waking up with alarm to NZ’s tarnished Democracy: #nzpol #Democracy #NZ #AtlasNetwork #SacktheGovt #SackSeymour open.substack.com/pub/democrac...?

I feel like more needs to be made of this. It's been an overt attack in the House from the Deputy PM and Cabinet on the equal rights of citizens to participate in our electoral system, and any migrant or child of migrants should find it as chilling as I do.

NZ Economic Development, Science and Innovation Committee is calling for submissions on Consumer Guarantees #RightToRepair Bill. By Thurs 3 April. Bill would require manufacturers to make repair parts and info available for maintaining or repairing goods. #NZpol www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Wellington! Government crony wants to use national's corrupt fast-track law to steal part of your regional park! www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

🧑🏽‍🤝‍🧑🏼 Pōneke crew! Stand in solidarity with Andy, Michael, Rach, Tāmati &Te Wehi as they face a jury trial for participating in peaceful protest. 🤝 Join us Mon 24 Feb, 1-2pm, Wellington District Court Bring a sign or flag, bring your voice and aroha!!! #civilresistance #climatejustice #nz #a22

A good article by @amandathomas.bsky.social in Newsroom today putting IPCA’s inappropriate lobbying for a law to license protests into national and international context. Another reason why Aotearoa needs to sign up to the #Aarhus Convention. @michelforst.bsky.social newsroom.co.nz/2025/02/20/r...

#BHN Tonight at 9pm - Lying Luxon in the house, Bishop tries to run cover - Govt misses their own watered down child poverty targets - Winston jumps ship to support Labour and the Greens in the house today #nzpol @chewienz.bsky.social youtube.com/live/jbmcllS...

"As the [NZFirst] list MP will be ... aware, his party leader is presently on ... a rampage, lasering his gaze across the benches of parliament at any MP who has the temerity to (a) deploy Māori language and (b) be an immigrant." #NZPol #Racism #DoubleStandards thespinoff.co.nz/politics/20-...

Amen ——— For those overseas—relevant to our Minister of Science of the time axing social science from our premier 'blue skies' research fund. She also removed the rule that the grants be assessed indep. of govt’s socio-economic policies, which I think should have draw a LOT more noise than it did.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s going after rare earth minerals in Ukraine because his tariffs against China are backfiring and costing the USA access to rare earths they have, which are crucial for modern electronics. More colonialism, same as it ever was.

I bet the people saying parents should feed their own kids, or the kids should eat what they’re given & be grateful, are the same folks excusing the exorbitant rents they charge tenants (it’s the market not us) and/or the poverty wages - minimum wage - they pay workers. Be better humans ffs.

A right to repair bill is getting it's first reading in parliament tomorrow, it would require manufacturers to provide parts and resources for their products to be repairable Would be great for consumers and for reducing waste if it passes

The latest poll showing Seymour growing in popularity is a biased poll done by the taxpayers union and the Nats own curio polling service. The problem? This type of biased polling influences people

Flatmate’s dog had 4 hours of emergency surgery after being mauled by3 dogs this morning. The bill so far is $3k & she’s on an invalid’s benefit. If you can help a little bit please email me catherinebarker @xtra.co.nz Thank you ❤️

Very pleased that this long legal campaign to get the Solicitor-General’s advice to MBIE on dropping the prosecution of Whittall has been written up by John Campbell. I’ve known about some of this work for a while & the refusal to disclose it exemplifies the NZ Crown’s performative good governance.

We’re getting hammered by the banks (even though the OCR dropped). Getting hammered at the petrol pump. Hammered at the supermarket. Hammered by insurance companies. Luxon: GET YOUR KIDS TO SCHOOL! Seymour: THE TREATY! Winston: AGENDA 2030! If you voted for these 🤡 you need your head read.

Tangata Tiriti #nzpol #kiwi

The state capture by interests that are not always what they seem..... #Atlas #CoalitionofCriminals #TinoRangatirotanga #Water #privatisation #Seymour www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlQO...

Hence, why they have to alter #TeTriti, its not about equality for all. #TinoRangatiratanga IS STOPPING THEM FROM SELLING OFF THE WATER.#Privatistion #CoalitionofCriminals #Waitangi No bailing out water, says minister (newsroom.co.nz)

"The election of NACTNZ was fuelled by racist fear mongering, disinformation and imported culture wars from the US, driven by well-funded political organisations that pushed far right, white supremacist and free market economic ideas

To quote Luxon ''...and a good opportunity to say to the world that New Zealand is open for business again, that's one of the really big focuses''

Someone who was with Hobson's Pledge and is now in NZFirst is a dishonest deathmonger acting in the interests of the tobacco industry? This is my surprised face. Tax freeze for cigarettes in NZ First minister's plans www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-dept...

Whoever made the decision that so much of our newspaper history should be flogged off and shipped to the US should be put in the sticks in the city square with a plentiful supply of overripe tomatoes available. What the hell were they thinking?

"Many have been arrested for things they said or content they posted on social media about Gaza," Asad said, adding that Israel is implementing a campaign of repression and increased pressure on Palestinian journalists. www.telesurenglish.net/news/61-Pale...

How any Minister of Health (Associate or otherwise) can back measures that INCREASE death and illness from smoking is utterly beyond me. Then cancel research based legislation we ALREADY HAD to reduce it. I just can’t. #nzpol

"Sangita Myska speaks to UNICEF spokesperson James Elder who's in Gaza. He reports 'difficult scenes' he witnessed and his organisation's efforts to help people. re invasion on southern areas in Gaza, Elder remarks it as 'chilling' www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbBp...

Should have known 20% of the NZ population died, so many funerals to attend this year. My students just stopped coming to school, didn't know why, and the stench of dead bodies and plague of flies should have been a giveaway.

As a proud union man, I hope every govt employer doing mass redundancies for financial reasons (thanks Hipkins) gets OIA'd about the amount of money spent exclusively on senior leaders (eg members of Boards/SLTs/ELTs). Specifically costs for training, travel, accom, meals, venue hire

National's two changes to the tax cut side of the package mean: -Faster tax cuts for landlords -A family earning $200,000 a year will now benefit more than families on the lowest incomes newsroom.co.nz/2023/11/28/n...
