Is anyone remotely concerned about Rachel Heifer Smalley being brought in to help Luxon? What can she do? Anything?

I think folks should get used to the term “Climate Destabilization” rather than using the harmless sounding “change”

I'm wondering if BVV has an undeveloped sense of humour. Instead of people being fearful of Workplace Safety, we make jokes about it. Today, that happened at work. I said to a customer, "I don't want you reporting us to WS," and we both laughed. Maybe that's where Broke gets her info?

Just want to point out that every voter in New Zealand should be against the Regulatory Standards Bill & here's why #nzpol The Regulatory Standards Bill locks in ACT's narrow view of "good law," restricting future laws from ALL PARTIES—Labour, Greens, Te Pāti Māori, including NATIONAL & NZ FIRST.

One of the main criticisms of 3 Waters from the Right was that unelected officials would be in charge of our water. Right? So please tell me why is it OK for unelected officials to be in charge of Regulatory Standards which, I understand, has the power to affect every part of society?

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3606... Here we are behind the scenes of who will get what in this year's Big Budget. But It's just too difficult to decide who gets what so they've opted for... chance. #NzPol #MarbleRun #Caricature #NicolaWillis #Budget2025

Cartoon. Title: Behind the scenes of Budget 2025

Nicola Willis is with some of her staff. They have a huge marble run course set up in the office.

She's trying to decide who gets what from the limited money pot. She says, "Looks like we have some early winners! Ooh and some losers...like this one!" She's holding a marble with the health symbol on it. As we know the health sector will be the loser.

At the end of the course three marbles are highlighted. 1. Military 2. Film industry 3. Landlords and business.

In between the course one staff member is deliberately flicking off the course all sorts of marbles. We shall never know what departments they are.

Lots of questions in people’s minds ahead of Tuesday’s debate in the House over the manifestly unjust & unprecedented suspensions of Te Pāti Māori MPs Rawiri Waititi, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke. Here’s Three News Lloyd Burr explaining how tmrw’s debate is likely to unfold.

An now, the salient point #NZPol

Is the new legislation at least more simple and workable?

If there’s one thing the government has said more than “librarians are being compared to fisheries officers”, it’s that they’ve created a more simple and workable law. But McMillan is struggling to identify anything simpler about the system. She says claimants will have to go back through a similarly complicated, lengthy process from scratch under the new legislation. The main difference is they’ll have to clear a higher bar. “So you have to wonder if this is about saving money. But if it is, let’s just front foot that and be honest. Because I don’t think it’s providing clarity. I think it’s just raising the bar, and as a result of that, saving the government money,” she says. “And if that’s the case, it is what it is, but maybe people have to own that.”

Every time a Māori woman is drummed out of politics, media outlets publish a bunch of pious articles about the extra pressures, scrutiny, and harassment they face. But somehow their own complicity in the harassment is never mentioned and nothing's done to ensure balanced coverage. #nzpol

Dumb Twitter. Someone who calls itself Whitey Spider was firing racist comments at me. I ended one comment with "Dumb Whitey" and got pinged for hateful speech. The spider has hateful references to anyone of colour. But I get a ping for using its actual handle name (not that I meant it like that)
