"As a curriculum writer, I was asked to disregard the evidence, the research, and decades of my own experience ⊠routinely disregarded, bullied, and removed for not aligning with a predetermined outcome." Nothing is beyond their desire to control and remain in power.

NZEI Te Riu Roa is deeply concerned that paid social media ads run by the Public Service Commission around the 23 October Day of Action crossed the line of political neutrality. OIA documents show ministerial offices were involved in shaping the messaging and strategy.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

The three richest men in the world are all genuflecting before Trump. All to curry favor so they can maintain their control over our political and economic systems â and to avoid accountability for their abuses of power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

David Seymour keeps saying, âThe challenge for people who oppose this bill is to explain why they are so opposed to those basic principles of equal rights [the same rights and duties, the right to self-determine].â Can we crowdsource (bluesource?) a collection of simple explanatory points?

Yeah, this is excellent advice. I have the same opinion about petitions â if it's not on the Parliament website, then its primary purpose is to harvest your data and generate hype for their social media.
