Right now, 13% of shops in Auckland and up to 15% in Wellington are sitting completely empty. Yet commercial rents haven’t dropped in two years. Why? Because the current system protects commercial property values over vibrant, thriving communities.

Plug-in solar panels attach to your balcony or deck and plug straight into the wall, saving households up to $350 a year. Because they are 100% portable when you move, they are perfect for renters - so why are they still illegal in New Zealand?

This weekend marks 40 years of Homosexual Law Reform in Aotearoa. Last month I had the privilege of joining Fran Wilde and activists from the last 40 years and beyond at Government House and Parliament to celebrate — and to reflect on the work we still have to do.

We have just launched a parliamentary petition calling for mandatory AI transparency in the public sector. If AI is going to be used in the delivery of public services, it must be AI that is worthy of our trust. Sign: petitions.parliament.nz/7bfe1c60-b99... Read more: www.trustworthyai.nz

Petitions are addressed to the House of Representatives and ask that the House do something about a policy or law, or put right a local or private concern.

Doubly so given the govt own lawyers (correctly) conceded two grounds pled by PATHA were arguable (the court found another 3 were also arguable). “It's judicial activism to agree with the govt on how dodgy its process looks!" These are not serious people.

We’re standing up for trans rights. Auckland Pride is taking the Government to Court because we don’t think it’s fair the Minister is making decisions without thinking about the rights of our trans, rainbow and takatāpui communities. More info: aucklandpride.org.nz/auckland-pri...

I am supporting Auckland Pride 10 toes down in their challenge of the Government on the removal of trans inclusion guidelines for community sport.

Winston Peters is engaging in exactly the same kind of stochastic terrorism used by Brian Tamaki to inspire attacks on queer communities last month. These attacks resulted in seven people being charged with assault and indecent assault. 1/5

Stop giving these cunts the benefit of the doubt for fucks sake. The devil can afford his own lawyers without you doing it for free.

I've thought quite hard about what I, as a pakeha public law theorist, can add to the submissions of my Treaty expert & Māori (& Māori Treaty expert!) colleagues on the TPB. & I think it's this: under very orthodox western constitutional theory, the Bill is illegitimate & v likely unconstitutional.

1.5% is the smallest increase in the minimum wage in 25 years:
A bar graph showing the percentage increases to the minimum wage since the year 2000. The years when a National led government was in power are highlighted showing generally lower increases. The most recent increase is the smallest on the chart.

Hugely disappointing from Auckland Council - and an absence of leadership from our Mayor: Auckland Council has voted down Māori seats 11 votes to 9 (1 abstention, Mayor)
