I've looked at their policy release and I cannot see how they would make this work. It's much more complicated than the Key government scheme, which only kicked in if a jobseeker declined to apply for a job which required pre-employment testing, or if such a test was failed.

Greens are purposefully suppressed in the media, and when they are mentioned its usually a smear campaign against them. The media is complicit in making sure they don't get votes

this old twitter screenshot is a reminder "Freedom" is always code for Nazi. Freedom to say what you want even if it hurts people and is a lie Freedom to take what you want if you can pay enough for enforcers Freedom to control, deprive, hurt or kill 'woke' people because they threaten freedom etc

You're right I joined V4F to get an inside look. They link new members with 'Freedom Hubs in your Area' that reuire members to each recruit as many people as possible. (Think terrorost cells), it's a highy organised multilevel marketing driven by a far right racist ideology

#NZpol Yeah, that narrative about National being somehow inherently good with the economy needs to be ground into dust. Seriously, have it hung, drawn and quartered, its remnants posted to the four corners, because it quite literally is. not. true. Something something "maths" and "outcomes".

Why check announcements / comments against record? Luxon: "They just don't understand economics over there", ie How voters understand it and media / commentators reinforce *daily*: "If you're not National or RW, the economy just dives. It's just how it is." Reality? ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/alan...

#NZpol There's a strong argument you'd come away less informed. I've resorted to telling people to 1) Assess policy as each Party announces it. 2) Compare against '20 / 23's promises. 3) Compare these to ACTUAL voting / legislative RECORD. *Far* saner conversations typically happen after that.

Central claim is that the ChCh attack was a false flag, w/ fake livestream, staged to justify disarming New Zealanders "on the eve of COVID". Please hold space for survivors, the families of victims, & NZ's wider Muslim community. Please also report to DIA anything you may see on these lines. #nzpol

Put the horrid substantive politics aside for a second. Important to note that the vast majority of Winston's assertions are fact free, ahistorical nonsense. NZF's Teaty policies intersect with empirical reality about as much as their RFK-esque health policies do: very little.
