History's verdict is already in on van Velden's safety reforms
The Government is instructing WorkSafe to be kinder and more supportive to businesses, and to shift its focus from enforcement to advice. We know from bitter history where this leads

David Seymour turning up at Waitangi is like if a racist salesman turned up to your house trying to sell you bleach for your brown skin. Not only that, the salesman then recorded you telling him to fuck off and then used this recording to sell barbed wire to wealthy white people. 🖤🖤🤍🤍❤️❤️ #nzpol

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

It’s bizarre how the US ruling class take holidays in European cities where they can enjoy nice public spaces, public transit, pedestrianised streets, mixed-use neighbourhoods, public healthcare and nice architecture, and then go home and deny these things to their citizens.

The Luxon government recognises no expertise except money. It will not listen to domain experts, it will listen to commercial operators who exploit the domain for profit. This is true for all policy areas. #nzpol

The two electoral contexts I've studied, & am most familiar with - Sri Lanka, and New Zealand - already defined by rapid erosion of information integrity, & the rise of influence operations, would benefit hugely from similar campaign finance laws. Doesn't exclude reform to existing financing laws.

Everyone rightfully excited about the #Elephant "name" news, but the elephant news that really got me this week was over at Sheldrick. Recent orphan Toto was brought to them by PREVIOUSLY RESCUED ELEPHANTS who found him and knew just where to take him. ❤️ www.sheldrickwildlifetrust.org/orphans/toto

With half a century of elephant conservation to our name, it can sometimes feel like we have seen it all. But even among the hundreds of orphan rescues that have unfolded over the years, Toto’s story ...

If you're calling yourself "dumb b*tch" or "lazy f*cker," something's gone wrong. You've slipped out of recovery mode. Push pause. Back up. I get it, it's reflexive, I struggle w/ it too. But we don't recover while verbally kicking ourselves in the face. Or anywhere else.
