Absolutely insulting, and certainly aimed at discouraging people from submitting, so lets keep getting them in. #nzpol

This is a very wonderful book, can highly recommend!

Budget Day is gone and families are left to pick up the pieces There are some nasty hooks that will impact our most vulnerable

Thanks to every single writer who consistently centres those most impacted by policy.

That’s speaking truth to power. That’s journalism. That’s refusing to repeat the party line verbatim.

Please read and amplify the phenomenal writing from @drbex.bsky.social and others doing this 🙏

Kia ora @health.govt.nz can we expect any public health comms regarding the sharp increase in covid seen in yesterday’s ESR wastewater reporting? Especially as NB.1.8.1 looks to making a rapid increase.
The majority of the public will not be aware of this.
Ngā mihi.

Looks like another COVID wave is on its way so I just went and got boosted. Another layer of defence on top of my mask… Grateful I can still get vaccinated when so many, including our kids & under 30’s in NZ, can’t.

Regulatory Standards Bill - New Zealand Parliament Public submissions are now being invited on this Bill

‼️ RSB ‼️
This Bill is anti-Māori, anti-diversity, & anti-democracy
The Regulatory Standards Bill lets judges strike down laws that support Te Tiriti, equity, or kaupapa Māori. It’s ACT’s agenda in disguise & it’s live now

Subs close 1pm, Monday 23 June. Flood the system ‼️

Ours definitely aren't there @mfti-anne.bsky.social.

A graphic made to look like a cutesy handwritten check list, with hearts dotting all the i's and this time pink doodles "drawn" all around. It's titled "Kiwi Summer Holiday Submissions on Big Scary and Important Government Things" with a subtitle of "The late summer ediiton". Kiwi Summer Holiday Submissions on Big Scary and Important Government Things: (The Late Summer Edition) Ministry of Health Puberty Blockers Consultation (banning appropriate healthcare for trans kids) - January 20th Victims of Sexual Violence (Strengthening Legal Protections) Legislation Bill - January 23rd Employment Relations (Pay Deductions for Partial Strikes) Amendment Bill (punishing workers for industrial action) - January 30th Crimes Legislation (Stalking and Harassment) Amendment Bill - February 13th

I know, I know - it's been a long summer, and we're a bit burnt out and sick of the parliament website. But there's more submissions to go.

We're doing great e te whānau. Remember your submissions don't need to be lengthy, or full of legalese. Just write what matches your values and go from there ❤

Beautiful!

RSB submission finally done 👍 #nzpol

I have done this, important to do if you can. Last day today. #nzpol

I know we are very overloaded with govt submissions right now but please do not forget the Social Security Amendment Bill. It is about benefit sanctions and it keeps being left off lists by fellow leftists telling us what to submit to. Submissions close Jan 10. www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Made my submissions for the treaty principles bill and the social security amendment bill this afternoon. Next up the RSB. #nzpol

Sorry you are feeling so awful Hayley. 🩷 I really appreciate your mahi!

What a lovely boy 🐈‍⬛

I’m sorry Beckie, that sounds so awful 🩷

So pretty

I didn’t realise they did cross pollinate, that’s something to look forward to

I do not think you can!

I've just come out of a day of meetings about the puberty blocker consultation and one thing is absolutely clear: this is political interference. It is a directive given by Cabinet to MoH, and a decision Cabinet will make, not the clinical experts.

🩷 I really wish brains could hold off on the anxiety until the night before, but it never seems to go that way

Hahaha you can!

Me right now, and instead of doing any of it I am redoing the hems on my entire wardrobe 😭
