Reposted by Michele A’CourtCEO Johnny Cans @oldmatecans.bsky.social · 31/05/2025This is 18 months into being in government, and you've got a Minister having too many beers and getting his feelings hurt about some flags and being called a dickhead by a Kiwi icon. That's not good! It's very not good! 1294
Michele A’Court @micheleacourt.bsky.social · 31/05/2025It’s quite something to see an expression of culture and characterise it as “political branding”. ‘Bishop told Stuff that he was referring to the “overtly political branding on display.”’ #shutupdickhead 511218

Reposted by Michele A’CourtCraig Renney @clrenney.bsky.social · 06/05/2025#nzpol The pay equity decision today – just before Mothers Day – takes employment law back decades. It will likely impact the earnings of hundreds of thousands of women, often working in some of the most poorly paid work. It will cost us all in the long-run.

Reposted by Michele A’CourtEddie Clark @dreddieclark.bsky.social · 06/05/2025This is *why* retrospective laws are objectionable in principle. Law must be prospective so you can plan your life according to it. Which is what claimant groups, employers, and public servants have done for years. All in the bin in under 24 hours. Millions of dollars worth of work on all sides. 813254
Reposted by Michele A’CourtRichard Hills @richardhills.bsky.social · 06/05/2025We endured six months of submissions and process for the Treaty Principles Bill, a bill cabinet knew would never pass. Yet the Govt gives just 12 hours for radical changes to pay equity laws that directly impact hundreds of thousands of workers, mostly women, & their families. 17366127
Reposted by Michele A’CourtJulie Fairey (she/her) @juliefairey.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Part of what really disturbs me about the sudden end of pay equity is the democratic implications - National did not say before the election that they would do this. It is now being passed under urgency, the same day as announcement, with no public input. NZers quite simply have not had a say. 14399140
