Erica Stanford's Education Ministry banned "Aotearoa" from new education curriculum Same Minister banned books with 7 Māori words, like "kai", as too complex for kids to understand Insanity and notice how subdued the headlines are #nzpol #kiwi

Māori words in curriculum shouldn't be controversial, principals say
Principals and a Māori language advocate are angry and disappointed by the Education Ministry's treatment of te reo Māori and the secrecy that has surrounded it.

before we criticise Stuff for publishing a review of a book that Penk admits he hasn't read, let's remember: Penk's a (self-)published author

He wrote a conspiracy book during lockdown in 2020 falsely claiming it caused a surge in suicide, family violence & untreated cancer

ANZ's outgoing CEO reiterated CGT is necessary for #NewZealand - a country which uniquely puts most of the tax burden on working Kiwis. There's a reason more Kiwis than ever left in the last 3 years. This loss of our young is perhaps one of the most consequential & damaging effects of this RW govt

Jordan Williams channeled dirty, foreign tobacco money from #NZTPU to his personal "Campaign Company" (that hires Ani O'Brien) He & successive TPU managers followed tobacco orders. Many of the TPU staff later worked for ACT. TPU being funded by tobacco is already on record #nickyhager #dirtywork

It cost the NZ Govt $264 million to change the rules allowing more gas guzzling cars to enter NZ. As a result we have a less efficient car fleet at a time of rising fuel prices, and more climate pollution. And we all have to pay more tax to subsidise these cars. autofile.co.nz/ccs-charges-...
