"Cutting 36,000 public servants does not remove the need for the work they do - it simply pushes it into the hands of private consultants, at a higher cost to taxpayers and with less transparency." www.canberratimes.com.au/story/889061... #auspol

Seymour needs to worry less about where I am and worry more about why his MPs aren’t fronting his anti-tiriti select committee #nzpol #atlaspimp

If you're an engineer that's curious about what it's like to scale Bluesky, give this pod a listen! Autumn and Justin are such fun hosts too

Really important work from @tombfowler.bsky.social, well worth a follow

Our takatāpui and rainbow whānau deserve to be treated with respect & dignity. It’s sad groups fuelled by hate are targeting our rainbow community and sadder to see “leaders” preying on our rangatahi to spill hate. Their ideology & aggressive ways are harmful and must be stopped! You are not alone 🌈

This is amazing stuff. They ran a pilot boot camp for youth offenders and their response to questions about whether they will tell us how the pilot went, was it successful, what were the results, what was learned from this pilot is 'absolutely fucking not how dare you' www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Absolute fuckwits assaulting my local community. I hope the police throw the book at these patched-up thugs. www.reddit.com/r/auckland/s...

Here's RNZ doing it too. "New Zealand First introduced a Member's Bill the day after the WDC meeting aimed at returning flouridation decision-making power to local communities." Our publicly funded journalism ESPECIALLY should have no excuses for misrepresenting such a basic concept.

time to dig up the @adamkotsko.bsky.social tweet

I assume Australia's statistics are similar. #auspol #nzpol

“This seabed mining project is called a zombie project because it simply did not stand up to scrutiny: there’s so many uncertainties, and the company simply hasn’t done the work.” PRESS RELEASE on the Fast-Track process opening today #NZpol www.kasm.org.nz/post/opposit...

The EPA is right to be concerned about being landed with a process that doesn't have "Environmental Protection" at its heart. And what happens if the companies don't pay up? Especially if they don't get consent. Which will add legal bills to the debt burden. #nzpol

Boot camps a failure. Again. Who could have guessed? 🙄 #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

A public service that actually serves the public needs proper funding—not cuts dressed up as reform. The real failure isn’t too many workers, it’s a system starved of resources while execs and consultants rake in the dosh. Invest in frontline services, not in bureaucracy or austerity spin. #NZPol

#nzpol typical for this abhorrent government

Are we being led to Atlas with good spin? Willis is offering “VIP treatment” to supermarket giants, but can we trust her to put people before profits? More corporate power won’t lower food prices, but it will keep the game rigged. #CostOfLiving #CorporateGreed #NZPol #PeopleBeforeProfits

Re-upping #nzpol "Libertarianism and classical liberalism, which mean nothing to the average Kiwi, also gained traction with National, but behind the scenes. PM Luxon's economic adviser, Matt Burgess, who worked at the NZ Initiative, adheres to these philosophies" www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

King Midas wished that all he touched might turn to gold. Seymour is the anti Midas as all it touches turns into shit! www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

A “review” today, a restructure tomorrow—ACC’s $50B fund is the latest target. Framing it as underperforming signals a shift: expect calls for “efficiency,” riskier investments, or even privatisation down the line. Watch the language—this is how big changes start. #ACC #Privatisation #NZPol

“Why aren’t they coming?” Maybe because Snr Min spent the last year spewing racist rhetoric, then smirking about it. Treaty attacks, te reo rollbacks, & open disdain for diversity—now they’re scrambling to fix the mess they made. No “brainstorm” will fix a reputation in tatters. #NZPol #Tourism

“Not clear exactly’ where evicted Kāinga Ora tenants will go.” They’re not lost luggage. They’re people. Whānau. Kids. Mums, Dads, Kaumātua, people being left behind. Kicked out with nowhere to go because this government would rather punish poverty than fix it. #PovertyIsPolitical #NZPol

The American woman arrested last year for assisting DPRK IT Workers pled guilty. but.. Did you know the original a search warrant for her home mentioned a TikTok that happened to show her laptop farm? lol oops www.justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/a...

"under fire" for pulling stupid stunts but not for his handling of Tim Jago and ACT Party internal culture

Cmon Gerry you need to get this muthafuk charge with driving without due care and reckless driving..clearly he been hitting the pipe so that too. Fuck David Seymour and his merry band of perverted clowns.

I love that Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is now asking the PM questions that she obviously expects him not to answer, and is just using it as an opportunity to highlight the PM's blantant hypocrisy and lies.✊ #nzpol

In NZ Parliament: Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer also used her questions to attack the ACT Party and asked Luxon why the Cook Islanders should be expected to consult New Zealand, given she said the New Zealand Government didn't consult Māori about changes to the Treaty Principles.

Te Tiriti protects all of Aotearoa from Atlas Corporate exploitation. Must make this a one term govt. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
