It’s not just that unemployment is up 28% since the govt took office it’s that they engineered it! If you have the faintest clue about how the economy works you know that cutting public spending impacts the private sector immediately. The govt is the private sector’s BIGGEST customer.

All sorts of nut butters work well in this format. Even the nut free 'sun butters' do if you are navigating allergies.

Just a reminder that the Gov't can MAKE MONEY APPEAR to pay for things that matter to them. They made money for landlords and space but not for education, science, housing, or homelessness...... people tell you what matters with their actions. #NZPol

Fresh end up having a really intense flavour almost like candy. Kiwi fruit are best from fresh too, but I might try the full size canned pineapple rings to see if they are more intense

& while many might say fast fashion doesn't matter b/c it doesn't stick around they would be wrong. That $8 shirt won't last but the eating disorder to look good in it will. The slave labour jeans won't make it to Christmas, but the fat shaming and internal harm hearing it will last for decades 2/2

The place I am seeing thin is in: ness is on visual social media and celebrity gossip places (online magazines etc.) but the thing that is creeping up is the youth focussed clothing brands doing it with 2000's designs returning. There is no room for extra weight in ultra low rise clothing 1/2

NCEA is older than smart phones. Windows XP was released the October before NCEA began its phase-in. I have grown from a 15 year old to a 38 year old since NCEA began. Lets face it... if you don't understand how NCEA works at this point, you've never cared...

#nzpol 1/5 Newly released Government documents reveal the lengths to which ministers went to avoid scrutiny and ignore official advice on their decision to gut the Equal Pay Act and cancel pay equity claims.

Flood of reports continue from Kiwis being deleted or moved off the Maori roll. This concerns every single Kiwi who cares about NZ. Tomorrow is the cut off for local elections & next step is more complex special voting. EC says they've moved some to dormant but reports are highly suspect #nzpol

Little select committee aperitif after the INZ AGM.
lectoral Amendment Bill

My/our comments
Any legislation that makes voting less accessible to people is undemocratic and will disadvantage those who are already underrepresented in our political sphere. It is appalling that this legislation has been proposed with attacks on marae and other community organisations who seek to increase voter turnout and engagement. The Deputy Prime Minister's recent comments regarding "Dropkicks" who enrol on voting day were absolutely abhorrent and show who this legislation is aimed at suppressing. 

My/our recommendations
That this proposed legislation is withdrawn.

Such a critical insight. A lot of the work to push back against hate is slow, unexciting, and let's be honest: the labour nobody wants to do. Hanging out in a Zoom meeting waiting for motions isn't glamorous but it is important. Today the good humans did important work Ngā mihi nui koutou.

Poverty is a political choice. Homelessness is a political choice. Suffering is often a political choice. People are much closer to becoming disabled/unhoused than they realize. Help us build networks of community care and better social supports.

And, a driver's license or passport is not necessary for enrollment. It just takes one extra step. Combatting this change for next year is going to require pre-election enrollment and get out the vote drives. #nzpol

The Fonterra PR piece on the news was quite illuminating. International pricing is 80% of the price. New Zealand makes up 5% of the market. So you could sell butter locally for cost price & profit would only drop 5%. So you could drop the local price by half with negligible profit hit. #nzpol
