#nzpol Data from Stats NZ today demonstrates how far we have fallen in the labour market. Between June 2019 and June 2023, we put on 225,000 new jobs. Since then, we have lost 31,216 jobs. A filled job is lost every 34 minutes. A thread

This guy makes skits but they’re based on real things that are happening. That little fact about the plague that Arizonan died of is sending me into spirals. People said it’s no biggie about that plague death, but I’m not so sure. A 100% mortality rate is bad, no?

The Government is proposing to remove protections for drinking water in its proposed national freshwater plan. The proposals align with the demands of polluting industries over communities. www.phcc.org.nz/briefing/gov...

Government cannot achieve “enduring freshwater policy” by siding with narrow commercial interests
The Government’s proposed changes to national freshwater policy favour the interests of narrow commercial and agricultural groups at the expense of other sectors.
