#nzpol GOOD NEWS ALERT 🚨 Today the government relented to pressure from the @livingwageaotearoa.bsky.social and retained the requirement for contracted workers to be paid at least the Living Wage rate in Government Contracts. Around 5,000 workers will likely benefit from this decision

#nzpol Monthly employment data - and there are 4,814 more jobs than this time last month! Whoop. Only 42,746 to go to get us to where we were at the last election. 62 jobs lost every single day of this government, one roughly every 23 minutes. A 🧵

Anyone standing for council who wants to 'cut rates' or claims 'rates are too high' gets an immediate veto from me. Use rates wisely, but you obviously can't have your cake and eat it too.

(🚨) The Proof Project is celebrating the revelation that Trump lied to America and the justice system about his pedophilic birthday note to Epstein—both text and image are pedophilic—by releasing Book Two of PROOF OF DEVILRY (pp. 201-400) for FREE. The full story is *so* much worse than you know.

{Book 2} Proof of Devilry: The Crimes of Donald Trump, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein
The available evidence places Trump, Epstein, and Maxwell at the heart of a multistate and multinational child sex-, sex- and human-trafficking ring whose discovery could change the course of history.

An eagle-eyed Newstalk ZB journalist on his second day in the job spotted the boss of the FBI loitering in the bowels of Parliament. But no one from the Government will say if or why he’s here.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... The govt just started to realise there's a cost of living crisis... what am I saying, they've always known. It just wasn't at the top of their to-do list... Now it's lip-service tour time! #NzPol #Cartoon #Luxon
Cartoon. Title: GOVT'S 'plan' for cost of living crisis. 

On the road a battered old converted ice cream van has been commandeered into the Lip-Service van. Luxon's worried face plastered on the side with a slogan, 'EVERY THING IS SO PEACHY' and above the windshield it says, 'FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT'. Luxon is also inside the van waving frantically at a small child to the side of it. The little boy is shouting, "Mummy! Look, look, it's the lip-service man!" The mum is looking petrified.

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3607... The experts just keep coming with their pesky reality checks. In a democracy those in power are supposed to listen... hmm doesn't look like much listening is occurring under their eyeful watch. #NzPol #DavidSeymour #Simpsons #Memes #Cartoon
Cartoon. Title: Regulatory Standards Bill ill-equipped for NZ

The famous meme of Principle Skinner from The Simpsons is used here to describe David Seymour and his dangerous views. 

Two panels with Seymour as Skinner. He has been Simpsonised. He is also wearing a badge with 8% on it - showing how much of the vote the ACT party received. 

He says, with his hand just below his mouth (contemplating his words) "There's been overwhelming expert advice against the bill, tens of thousands of public submissions, a damning Waitangi tribunal report and now the spy agency is warning it could weaken our national security protections. Am I out of touch? 

And in the second panel he has his hands by his side and looking forlorn, "NO, ITS THE PEOPLE WHO ARE WRONG!"
