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.

Greens hit high of 16% as voters shift from major parties. This means Labour / National will be at the whim of minor parties post election 2026 Opportunity still a question mark, as it divides the vote base - further destabilising the ability of a major party to govern & still could go with anyone

Chris Hipkins 14%

"Much of the [racism] campaign was run through other groups, like Hobson’s Pledge and the farm lobby Groundswell, but Williams and the TU stood behind them, coordinating it all." Simon Wilson, as always, does good work encapsulating the key issues #nickyhager #Dirtywork

So Jordan Williams' Taxpayers Union owns a bot / fake account company. And these bots have been working hard - moving from "it's a conspiracy", to "poor Jordan wasn't asked" (like Epstein wasn't or Trump wasn't?) to to the latest: "it's fiction" Meanwhile in real life #kiwi

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

Catherine Law's (OIA concealer) PhD supervisor is Elizabeth Rata. Elizabeth Rata is Erica Stanfor'd's key education advisor Rata and Stanford have a stated common goal: To stop the success of decolonisation in Aotearoa New Zealand. The OIA concealment from one of Rata's people is no surprise

Chris Bishop calls Nicky Hager a "far left" figure. Guess fact based is "far left" Chris Bishop's Dad co-founded TPU with Jordan & David Farrar Bishop is best remembered for failing to roll Luxon twice in two years while enabling corrupt, anti community fast track laws in #NZ

Nicky Hager is a hero, but watching Taxpayers Union and their ilk react to his latest book is hilarious. Should Earl Spencer have consulted with UK's King Charles before writing his book? Should Epstein whistleblowers have consulted with Epstein before writing theirs? Comical defences #DirtyWork

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
