Yesterday, in response to someone's query, I posted this:
Why Does Rights Aotearoa Focus on Universal Human Rights as Opposed to Civil Liberties?
www.rightsaotearoa.nz/universal-hu...
The current Government wilfully spreads misinfo about unions despite being well aware unions are the collective voice of workers that rebalance the scales so that people in work are protected from exploitation and harm.
It’s a good time to join one. #nzpol
I’m retired but I’m a solidarity member.

But I’m also looking forward to standing up to bullies and harassers. The shackles are off and I refuse to be silent. Let’s fight back together.

After a multi-year legal battle, I've been granted a restraining order against the notorious white supremacist Phil Arps
Arps fought this every step of the way (with legal aid) and I've been left with a hefty legal bill, I'm fundraising to cover the last part of the cost

LACK OF COMPETITION.
Monopolies, duopolies & cartels.
Supermarkets. Building supplies. Powercos. Fuel companies. Fonterra. Banks.
Pray for a future Gov brave enough to break up or regulate these sectors.
I love how the people in this article are so openly stating how bad and distracted/oblivious they are at driving.
If you're hitting these things, the fault ain't those things. And the solution isn't to remove them so you can now hit something softer, like a cyclist.

It’s not just that unemployment is up 28% since the govt took office it’s that they engineered it! If you have the faintest clue about how the economy works you know that cutting public spending impacts the private sector immediately. The govt is the private sector’s BIGGEST customer.

To secure institution's ability to serve all New Zealanders, members must vote down proposed changes to InternetNZ's constitution by the Free Speech Union (FSU) - published on their website. If passed, InternetNZ won't be the same.

The people who hated her talk more about her than the people who loved her.

#nzpol Standing with workers affected by the theft of pay equity, handing over a petition of more than 93,000 signatures. It’s been 53 years since the Equal Pay Act and this government is taking us backwards not forwards. Join your union and make this a one-term government.

The PSA says MBIE's new work-from-home policy is a breach of the collective agreement, under which the ministry has committed to a flexible-by-default approach.
