Shameful! Profits over babies. This government answers to corporate lobbyists, not the wellbeing of our whānau. Baby formula rules scrapped after dairy giants pushed back, 11 years of work gone in a boardroom handshake. Who really runs this country? Time to change the script. Enrol. #NZPol

Shocking stuff. The committee is now expected to report back TOMORROW. A month earlier than scheduled. Tens of thousands of OUR submissions remain unread, unprocessed and unconsidered. @duncanwebbmp.bsky.social is doing a great job fighting this. We can help by emailing committee members. #nzpol

This is honestly a pathetic response so much for citizens having a say in the law of thier country and highlights why iwi and hapū get hoha with government. They claim to want consultation but rearly engage with it honestly.

You can tell that the NZ Free Speech Union is not, in fact, in favour of free speech when they come out in support of a report that would make a criminal act of failing to notify authorities of a protest in advance. #nzpol
