I wish Labour would do this for all state house tenants when they get back in and forgive MSD debt like the IRD do for businesses. Make a difference that really matters. #nzpol

“Even if National manages to convince its coalition partners to pull the land sales parts out – this Bill would still make it easier for open cast mines, private resorts, gondolas, and shopping malls to degrade the wild places we all treasure." - Gen Toop, @greenpeace.org.nz

The worst.

Watching the livestream of the Social Services and Community Select Committee and presentations on the DSS Bill. It's both heartbreaking hearing people's stories and also reminds me that we have some very impressive, intelligent, thoughtful, and considerate people here in NZ.

That was the name that I was stretching for at the cafe this morning. A 'National Lite' party that stands for nothing other than riding the gravy train. The amount that National supporters have donated to this faux party demonstrates just how desperate they are to ditch NZ First as a parasite.

This week I’m watching submissions on the Disability Services Support Bill currently before the Social Services and Community Select Committee. I had some thoughts about the govt spin being repeated during this process: #nzpol open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

These are two of the bravest women in New Zealand! How shameful that this government plows ahead, risking health and safety when the minister concerned has never read the Royal Commission report into the Pike River disaster. How typical! 🤯🤯😳😳😡😡 #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

InternetNZ members, don't forget to renew your membership if you intend to vote in the upcoming elections. Friendly reminder.

Bottoming from the TOP! TOP is just another vote for continued neo-liberal fuckery!!! #nzpol

I know it's not intended to be harmful, but I don't think that "compare how much tax you pay under each parties policies" site is a good thing. It kind of inherently reinforces the framing that "less tax = good" rather than focusing on what's actually being done with the tax take.

Bored with the lack of interesting policy announcements from our political parties? Here’s an idea that will pump some cash into local economies & fix a BIG looming problem: As Aotearoan summers get ever hotter, give every school a matching set of classroom heat pumps and solar arrays.

🔥 "The experience that people are having of politics getting ever more toxic & our society becoming ever more divided is ABSOLUTELY caused by deeply, extreme inequality. If we want to meaningfully arrest those issues as a country, then we need to tackle wealth inequality." @greens.org.nz #TaxTheRich

Yes, there are consequences if you're found guilty of committing a crime. This is normal.

given he was investigated at a previous workplace, then installed by Goldsmith AGAINST advice of selection committee this is wildly unsurprising slightly more surprising this government continues to blunder around like this without consequence Yet another case that should have Goldsmith resign

This seems to be a very clear breach of the medical council's AI which says informed consent is required. Informed consent is very clearly defined in New Zealand as OPT-IN, with information given so the patient can decide. www.mcnz.org.nz/assets/stand...

Green MPs and candidates are fielding some OTG responses on FB & IG. on the plus side, many NZers are finally learning how progressive tax rates work 👍 🤦 @tamathapaul @greens.org.nz #nzpol
