#NZpol Yes, it certainly will be interesting to see the outcome of that 🧐

Definitely, and households that then have kids or elderly folks on top even more so.

This is an exact scenario type which shows why decoupling benefits and social aid is so so important. We don't have marriage equality until someone can remain their own person whilst married. If they are disabled and need help it shouldn't depend on the income earning potential in the house.

Is this crazy coalition playing politics with their ridiculous four stage fuel plan? We are at level 1. Yet Rabigh has been attacked by Houthis. There’s far less refining capability. There are less ships. Insurance for VLCCs is astronomical. Or are they just burying their head in the sand? #nzpol

National has always been the party for the wealthy. The wealthy only care about the wealthy. They always want more, more, more. Let's give New Zealand the best Christmas present ever - empathy for our fellow human beings! Do NOT vote National, ACT or NZFirst. Please! #NZPol

Labour admitting they don't want to raise the minimum wage to the living wage is admitting some people don't deserve to be paid enough to live on. Meanwhile, Conservatives who own businesses harp on about returning to family values but refuse to pay their workers enough to live on one income. #nzpol

Yep, next newsletter I saw a call asking for donations for the snacks table. So, it was good to know we can support it - & good to know kiddo hadn't been wrong about it being free food lol. Teens get very hungry & many skip breakfast for a variety of reasons so it was cool to learn about.

Earlier in the year I mentioned to my teen "why is there still fruit here at the end of the week? Have you not been eating any? I know *sibling* gets food in school but you don't? They replied, they did get fruit at school. There is a table of fruit, snacks & lunches. If anyone eats then no stigma.

In "the ancient times" when Google became the dominate search engine, me friends and I (like many our age) half joked that we were giving all our thought control to Skynet - turns out it was going to get a lot worse by our kids time.

Clean bias there, and I didn't even think they covered enough issues. #nzpol

Results card from "on the fence" for SciLion showing how they matched up with political parties on questions asked. 90.7% Greens, 88.5% Te Pāti Māori, 84.7% Labour, 81.9% The Opportunity Party, then a sharp drop to National 29%, NZ First 28%, and ACT 23.7%.

For me it’s also about this: Nazis will be going to vote. And I’ll be damned if I let their vote be counted while I sit it out. Vulnerable communities depend on us not sitting this out while the people trying to murder them will be participating, and cheering on any of us who sit it out Nope.

How do we decide "who" in a political party to contact about a particular issue on behalf of a group, to let them know about issues a group wants to find out what parties already know about their cause? #nzpol

I've had people (mainly teens/youth) asking where can they get info about what each party offers that isn't spin. I always answer it's not the media. I feel for everyone to be honest - unless bottom lines are clear and easy to understand - it almost doesn't matter what each party individually wants

It’s really just clicked for me (belatedly, post-Dirty Work) how much effort is put in by my tax dollars supporting and amplifying dodgy right-wing slackers, courtesy of a public service that should know better. Shame, RNZ #nzpol

RNZ's response to Hager's book has been the most shocking for me. Remember Guyon demanding Key answer the question "is it okay?" when "Dirty Poliltics" came out? Now they are promoting the views of Williams, Farrar and the rest of the dirty politics crew #nzpol

#NZpol I'd have thought that although many outlets certainly think their paywalls justified, why *so much* of what the public *needs* to know (and in an election period in seems particularly pertinent one would think, given the actual *issue*) is subject to gatekeeping when so much BS fluff isn't 🧐

One of many many reminders that the book helps for those voters not as diehard involved in politics, but still appears to only scratch the surface on many things. Not a criticism & hey I had info on some of these "players" from before I learnt to "keep receipts" also #savescience

Can’t believe NZ is heading into a Super El Niño with so many outdated fire engines in such appalling condition. Media scrutiny of the coalition government is so low that they can get away with not only causing crises as usual, but allowing highly predictable and preventable ones to happen. #nzpol

Thread for those who are concerned about the state of democracy in Aotearoa. The MoJ quietly slipped out a paper on how they propose to constrain a review of the #OIA. They will focus on restricting what is official information and making withholding grounds easier for agencies to cite. #nzpol

1st up, women shouldn’t have to worry about using drug detecting ice cubes while enjoying something as mundane as a simple refreshment in public BUT, until men can learn to co-exist with women & girls, and do so with respect & without harm or violence, then this is a pretty useful tool. #nzpol #NZ
