PM’s push to directly appoint public service chiefs isn’t just about power—it’s a step towards privatisation. Politicising these roles opens the door for private interests to drive decisions, undermining fairness & accountability, & orchestrating a loss of trust in our institutions. #NZPol

Can we please be accurate in our description of what Density church did at Te Atatu Library. It was a physical attack, hate speech, and terrorism. RNZ saying DC “tried to drown out” the kids’ show. That is absolutely not what happened.

"Public Service Minister Judith Collins said “unions are very clearly wanting to take on the government and the New Zealand taxpayers”. Ummm, union members ARE tax payers. In fact, since union members get paid a little better, they're paying MORE tax. And people on PAYE prob pay more than business

Destiny should not receive a single cent in tax subsidies, nor should they be awarded the title of ‘charity’. IMO their actions are uncharitable in the extreme and profoundly un-Christian. Good to see @philtwyford.bsky.social calling for them to have their charitable status revoked. #nzpol
