If a left wing govt did this it would be called fraud. #NZPol

This change has been brought up multiple times that I've seen in electrician circles, and has been widely condemned as being utterly stupid and dangerous. There were a number of easy ways it could have been done fairly safely, and a few that could have been fully safe. Too sensible though, right?

The Venn diagram is a circle

Because most people rely on MSM to tell them what's happening, and all our mainstream media are so far up National's collective asses they know what their tonsils smell like

Tania Waikato's response to Sam Uffindel's claim regarding unions leaning over schools: So declaring that a school will continue to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi is now all of a sudden an "anti-govt pledge" is it National MP @samuffindelltauranga??? 👀🧐 How exactly do you reconcile that statement with your own Minister's previous remarks that removing the obligation in s127 of The Education and Training Act would not prevent schools from continuing to give effect to Te Tiriti if they chose to do so??? And according to you, the 1,306 schools on Te Rārangi Rangatira are only there due to a nation wide union standover, is that correct??? Careful boo, I keep very good receipts, and none of them came from any unions. Lots from schools right here in Tauranga, your current electorate, absolutely. Catholic Church yes, Anglican Church yes, looooots of Principals' Associations let me think oh yes Western Bay of Plenty Principals' Association and Eastern Bay of Plenty Principals' Association too. But no unions - sorry hun. Aroha mai, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Tania Waikato and I also live in Tauranga. Waiting on your proof of this "disgusting" unionist bully campaign of which you speak...

Partial screenshot of the reactions to a Facebook post. A total of 3 thousand, with 2 thousand likes, 907 loves, 56 laughs and that cuts off before showing the full 42 hugs, 23 shocked, 14 angry and 1 crying.

This level of support for anyone not on the right-wing on Facebook of all places is incredibly refreshing to see!

Imagine being a National politician, making a typical National bullshit claim on *Facebook* and getting more than 4:1 ratioed against it 😂

#nzpol

Gee, could we do something similar? I'm sure we've got enough wind for it...

Oh wait, I just remembered our government's mandate of "fuck the environment, it doesn't make us money"

Stanford Admits Involvement in the Development of the Senior English Curriculum By Bevan Holloway

Minister Stanford doesn't care to follow the limits of her position. A Minister interfering with curriculum development is politicising the curriculum and that is dangerous. #education #school #curriculum #overreach #AtlasNetwork #Neoliberalism #nzpol

Petition demanding accountability from our government #nzpol: our.actionstation.org.nz/petitions/de...

Yeah no, just because I'm a male doesn't make it misogyny, and I've seen people of all genders saying the same thing.

Having had a look back through your post history and seeing you're a terf means I'm not even slightly interested in discussing this or defending myself. Fuck off.

I believe it's not experimental, Karen, there's plenty of research and evidence of its safety and efficacy.

Also, how apt a first name for someone with the attitudes on display...

He should be the minister for fucking off and leaving everyone alone, really. The man (term used lightly) doesn't believe in the burden of proof, "my body my choice", or a wide range of other things that should be considered essential for the health minister

Latest update is 636 schools affirming commitment to Te Tiriti, and that number is still growing

If following the law means your business collapses, good.

If you are unable to conduct business in a fashion that obeys the legal requirements of the area you're operating in, you shouldn't be conducting business there.

That's it, end of story. Obey the rules or GTFO

Same as "woke" meaning someone who was "awake to what was going on", now being used as a slur for anyone who shows compassion for others

Just gonna keep saying it: There is no point growing the pie if the wealthy keep eating all of it.

I have cultural concerns about anyone who won't do the absolute minimum to show support for the marginalised when participating in a round in their sport specifically designed to show support for said marginalised people...
Namely, I'm concerned that they lack basic decency #nzpol

Controversial Regulatory Standards Bill passes third reading The bill got the backing of the coalition parties

There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

SERIOUSLY FUCK THESE FASCIST ASSHOLES. 98% of us told them to piss off and they just ignored us. Anti-democratic pack of self-serving scumbags

Oof

Parades as centre-right, but is very much full right (as is the rest of the National party)

Nicola Willis says Kiwis working more hours a 'good sign' Hours worked rose 0.9% last quarter, the first lift since December 2023.

No one wants to work long hours just to afford to live, Nicola. Kiwis being forced to work more hours is the opposite of a good thing, unless you value profits over people, shareholders over safety, or corporations over country. Fuck off with your bullshit. #nzpol
