Absolutely. The remark on Jones is particularly telling.

Lobbying has ruined government in AoNZ. It must be limited or outlawed if we are ever to have a crack at restoring democracy

Thought of the day is that in order to make policy decisions you should be required to live in a rental that remains freezing despite the heat pump, be restricted to meals bought on a work & income budget/pittance and have several people every day tell you to pull yourself up by your bootstraps.🤔

Appalling racismfrom Rata as usual

Nicotine lobbyists said Winston Peters was 'very powerful' and 'very industry friendly' Lobbyists for heated tobacco products identified the NZ First leader as "friendly". His party later delivered huge tax cuts for their products.

Time to outlaw lobbying:

She really sounds like someone to avoid

I'm absolutely awestruck by your response. When enough people stand up to this appalling bullying like you have, things might just begin to change in this country.

i’m begging a reporter to ask nicola young about ray chung and then follow up with a question about this:

Education - ECE teachers - Early Intervention teachers - Primary and Area teachers in state or state integrated schools - Secondary teachers in state or state integrated schools - Support workers, youth workers in residential schools, Education Service - Education Advisors (Learning Support) MoE - Psychologist MoE employed - Service Managers MoE employed - Early Learning Teachers - Tertiary Education Library Assistant - Tertiary Education Administration and Clerical Public Service - Public Service Administration/Clerical Claim 1 - Public Service Administration/Clerical Claim 2 - Corrections Psychologist - Corrections Probation Officer and Senior Practitioner Health - Social Service Workers (5 NGOs) - CSWs 1 (1.7.22) - CSWs 2 (20.11.23) - Front line Managers and Coordinators - Plunket Administration/Clerical - Plunket Nurses and Clinical - Community Midwives in Primary birthing units - Hospice Nurses and Health Care Assistants - Primary Care Administration - Primary Care Nurses - Access Community Nurses - Labtests Awanui - Nurses in Residential Care - NZ Artificial Limb Service - Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa Local government - Librarian and Librarian Assistant in Councils

These are the pay equity claims that the government wiped out in just two days to make its budget balance. It's appalling that tax breaks for tobacco companies are being funded by cutting women's pay rises and backpay.

Or the milk of human kindness. it's got too expensive even for the rich and sorted.

PM Luxon: Uphold Codes of Conduct - Call David Seymour into line Responsible leaders welcome advice from experts when they are creating laws and policies. They know good decision making means planning for the long term, considering diverse points of view and making...

We've seen bullying in local government recently. But it starts at the top. I launched this petition because our Deputy Prime Minister belittled people for exercising their democratic rights. His behavior sets the tone and empowers others. This must stop. #nzpol

I'm sorry for searing your eyes and soul like that

His moral compass has no needle

He's so lazy and cowardly

The media is running a scurrilous Dirty Politics campaign against Ray Chung and Independent Together by accurately reporting the things they've done and said

I'd rather have this than cruelty and austerity

Luxon, back from a week's holiday, comes back swinging Luxon was absent for the Tasman floods and says now is not the time for funding - while endorsing no compensation for property owners in climate risk areas by 2045

"Take a moment to consider how the Prime Minister of New Zealand took a week’s of leave without notice - while the “dangerous” Regulatory Standards Bill hearings are in progress² and devastating floods wrecked the country.”

Harks back to my internet dating days when all the prospects bar one turned out to have similar views. Most of them were just looking for a woman who owned her own house 🤢

Why aren’t we talking about the VALUE of healthcare, instead of the COST. Why aren’t we talking about the VALUE of education, instead of the COST. Why aren’t we talking about the VALUE of housing human beings, instead of the COST. The VALUE in humanity has always outweighed the COST. #nzpol

She developed T1D diabetes after the first go. I can't imagine how this is going to go long term for her.

Ridiculous waste of resources

I'm so angry that my family hasn't been properly protected. My youngest grandchild has covid right now for the third time.

That's so hard. It took quite a while for my youngest daughter to detach herself from her loser first husband, but she did and is thriving now.

We'll be banging in the batts at the same time.

Not all that much but we have another priority. Probably The Man™, The Bearded One and The Stripling will make it a generational project next summer.

Luckily it's only in one room. Unluckily it's our bedroom.

I remember a certain Polytech disestablishing its plumbing course after a couple of years of low enrolments. Two years later, plumbers clamouring for apprentice training, all the equipment and staff were long gone.
