Life cannot be just paying for housing and food. And constantly eating the absolute cheapest meals and being on the phone with power companies trying to get a deal. This cannot be all we aspire to for our community.

Workers need wage increases, not tax cuts for tobacco companies, landlords, and big businesses. The government should settle its pay disputes so that essential workers don't see their pay fall. If the economy is improving, but working people aren’t feeling any relief.

The FUCKERS - they drove Megan out. Megan was invaluable to Otago Polytech, this Govt is INSANE #NZPol

THE chief executive of embattled Otago Polytechnic is leaving the organisation.

Megan Po ¯tiki’s departure was confirmed yesterday by new Otago Polytechnic Council chairman John Gallaher.

‘‘Together with my fellow council members, I would like to sincerely thank Megan for her dedication and commitment to Otago Polytechnic and for the work she has undertaken to steer the organisation back to a more viable and sustainable position,’’ he said.

Otago Polytechnic is going through a range of restructuring to address a $10 million deficit.

On Tuesday, Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds announced the membership of the new council, which replaces an establishment advisory group which made ‘‘in principle’’ decisions ahead of the polytechnic’s return to autonomy next year.

It will be part of a new federation, anchored by the Open Polytechnic of New Zealand and including the Universal College Of Learning.

Mr Gallaher said the group had begun the recruitment process for a chief executive of the ‘‘new standalone entity of Otago Polytechnic’’.

An announcement on the role was expected next week.

<SIGH> Can we finally kill the "National are Better Economic Managers™️" myth now. It's always been bullshit, and this current incarnation has really highlighted this. And two years in, voters need to stop buying their "It's Labours mess" lies. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

#nzpol Standing in solidarity with @NZPSA workers, and unions here in Auckland. Healthcare workers look after us and our families. The government should come to the bargaining table, listen, and settle this dispute.

Callous and stupid. "the one in four children in our local schools who are disabled and/or neurodivergent could be collateral damage from the minister’s refresh" We have had some terrible Ministers of Education in our history but Stanford is shaping up to be our worst. #nzpol

Education's Stanford experiment not for everyone

From Auckland University - Opinion: The exclusion of disabled children from the latest iteration of the curriculum can be added to the list of problematic ministerial decisions in education.

Just a little reminder. Seems appropriate right now.

When wealth is passed on as merit, bad luck is seen as bad character. This is how ideologues justify punishing the sick and the poor. But poverty is neither a crime nor a character flaw. Stigmatise those who let people die, not those who struggle to live. (Sarah Kendzior)

"Christopher Luxon's legacy will be leading the most anti-Māori, anti-Tiriti government Aotearoa has seen in generations." www.newshub.co.nz/home/politic...

2:50pm - Te Pāti Māori has just released a blistering statement:

"NZ First has gotten their wish to 'take our country back' to the 1800s with a policy program that will white-wash Aotearoa and erase tangata whenua rights.

By disestablishing the Māori Health Authority this Government has condemned Māori to "die seven years earlier than Pākehā.

"By removing Treaty obligations from Oranga Tamariki this Government will displace a generation of tamariki from their whakapapa and continue the cycle of trauma.

"By supporting ACT's attempt to rewrite Te Tiriti o Waitangi the Prime Minister has left the door open for a referendum.

"Christopher Luxon's legacy will be leading the most anti-Māori, anti-Tiriti government Aotearoa has seen in generations.

"Our message to this Government is clear: We will not allow Pākehā to determine our rights as tangata whenua. This new Government must prepare for a Māori revolution if a referendum ever does go ahead.

"Te Pāti Māori will fight on all fronts to protect our people from policies that seek to erase our whakapapa and whitewash our history. Policies that privilege the wealthy and punish the poor.

"We will fight against the short-sightedness of a government that would allow oil and gas exploration during climate crisis. We will do all we can to ensure their reign is also short.

"Te Pāti Māori are calling on all Tangata Whenua and Tangata Tiriti to stand as one to protect what it is that makes us Aotearoa."

Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a founding constitutional document of Aotearoa New Zealand. It is central to who we are as a nation. Its presence in legislation so far doesn’t even yet constitute a bare minimum. The hatred & intolerance of a few will not change that reality. And we will resist them.

Luxon fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous of which is, ‘never get involved in a land war in Asia,’ but only slightly less well-known is this: ‘Never go into coalition negotiations against a Winston when political death is on the line!’

Something I suspect NZ is about to learn the hard way (again): politicians don't run the country. They make laws and high-level decisions, but they don't actually make the country function on a day to day basis. The people who do that are the people the new government is gagging to put out of a job.
