Must admit, I hadn’t really got my head around this bill until reading this #nzpol

“Fixing climate change is too expensive.” Um no. What’s really expensive is doing nothing. Climate disasters cost billions—and those costs are rising fast. Climate solutions save money and lives, as well as building a better world for us all 🌏💚

Pūkaha Mt Bruce is in serious financial trouble. What can be done @chrishipkins.bsky.social ??

What the Government doesn't want you to know about the Regulatory Standards Bill... Submissions are open until 1pm Monday 23rd June. Link in comments. 🔗🔗🔗

Now that they have stolen from women they are looking to which other theft can be achieved without political damage. Hooton discounts the idea of cutting super and says instead they should take from Working for Families First they came for the working women... #NZPol

"Reading the RSB... began to set off alarm bells in my head. The language of the bill is broad enough that it could set up a legislative framework that encourages corporations to bring legal action against the government or other entities if policy regulates in a way that impacts their profits."

Kia ora koutou, If you like your politics polite and pointless, this ain’t for you. Debbie and Rawiri hit BHN LIVE at 9pm. No filter, no fluff, just straight kōrero. Tonight at 9pm, details @patbrittenden.bsky.social post. Ngā mihi 🫶🏾 @whaeadeb.bsky.social @rawiriwaititimp.bsky.social #NZPol

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

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
