#NZpol The disability attack *in particular* shouldn't even be on the table as a *concept* here. Yet it is, thx to *decades* spent creating sociopathic moral vacuums in this country, despicably embraced by SO MANY. Sure, some don't vote ACT, they vote Nat. But they ALL know IT'S A PACKAGE DEAL.

Māori media again doing the mahi needed, but often absent from the ‘mainstream’. RNZ had one snippet about this in its politics liveblog, but I’ve seen nothing else (yet). Govt runs on money, people & information. If we don’t have a media paying attention to this third part, we’re in trouble.

Yep, on track to be proposing privately built and operated workhouses by 2029. Also, when they say they will "prevent migrants claiming benefits for five years after entering the country", do they expect all migrants to have enough savings to cope if they're laid off within those 5 years? #nzpol

it’s what the People WANT

3 panel comic

Panel 1 is titled “AI Bros:”
An Ai Bro is standing in front of a TV wearing his default expression (SMUG)

Behind him on the TV is the axe scene from American Psycho where Patrick Bateman is wearing the transparent raincoat and standing next to his ridiculous stereo. Except in this image Christian Bale has been replaced by the AI Bro.

AI bro annoyingly says “People want to put themselves in movies”

Panel 2 and 3 are titled “People:”

Panel 2:
A Blue Guy holds his phone up to a Yellow Guy and says “Hey! I’ve got a little video from that party”

Panel 3:
Yellow Guy sees himself on the phone screen and almost cringes himself into a singularity. He is blushing and squeals “Ohh my Goddd. My FACE and VOICE”

ACT is happily promising less public services, less years of superannuation, more scrutiny and stigma for everyone who’s disabled all to shrink down a govt debt that is minuscule, compared to 100s of billions in mortgages and loans. ACT doesn’t care about you. Vote for a party that does. #nzpol

All that train usage has led to exactly what businesses want: a surge in foot traffic. A live chart showing pedestrian movements around the city centre shows above-average numbers across almost every site monitored since the CRL opened on September 13.

I wanted to be reasonable, so I went to look at their actual education manifesto to see how they were planning to implement this to recognize, for example, the different needs of primary and secondary students (where secondary usually starts earlier to allow more teaching time before exams) Nothing

The entire relevant section from their National Party education manifesto:

Consistent school dates and more
time learning

National will set consistent school start and finish dates. Parents have told us how frustrating different dates can be, leaving families juggling childcare and taking extra leave from work.

Another seemingly knee jerk policy from National? It fails to consider that different regions, communities and schools have different needs and situations. Also, possibly, that high schools and primary schools have slightly different statutory year lengths.

Facebook post from Erica Stanford
Image features text reading: "All schools to start & finish the year in the same dates"

Post text:
Less juggling for parents. More certainty for families.

National will make sure all schools start and finish the school year on the same dates.

That means easier planning for working parents, childcare and family holidays.

A simple, practical change that puts families first.

I think Tom King dialogue benefits a lot from world class actors delivering it. I love that it doesn’t shy away from the oddities of Hal Jordan’s personality, and it genuinely presents the most interestingly synthesized version of John Stewart’s personality we have seen to date.

A neat way to keep youth unemployment down. You're not unemployed if you have to stay at school for the whole year. It's not about training, skills, apprenticeships, or an education system that meets the needs of students. It's all about marginal juking numbers to make it look like success.
