One awaits, with bated breath, the speech from Dear Leader Luxon to Google, Windows and Uber Eats about "the world not owing them a living" so it's time to pay the correct amount of taxes from money they earn in Ao/NZ.

Jobseeker changes: 'Punished for economic crisis they didn't create'
The prime minister says benefit dependency is a "tragedy" and tightened criteria resets expectations - but a youth advocate says they have never met a young person who doesn't want to find work.
Apart from massive job losses out of the economy, changes to youth benefit come in the wake of: polytech closures, less funding for mental health, no extra funding for universities, changes to NCEA that mess with vocational training (hospitality) & force YP into SL debt

So what to do?
The first step is stop pretending “it can’t happen here.”
That’s the first lie authoritarianism needs — disbelief.
So name what’s happening, out loud, even when it costs something.
Fascism feeds on silence and normalization. Call that shit out when you see it.

One of the possible commitments in NZ’s 5th National Action Plan as a member of the Open Government Partnership relates to updating our whistleblowing law.
If you think blowing the whistle on bullying in the public sector should be protected by the law, email ogpnz@publicservice.govt.nz
