And if the govt were serious about it they could have shown good faith by constructively working on the previous govt's WIPs
But instead they repealed record amounts of policy without scrutiny, even where things were ready

Some places were never meant to be permanent settlement sites. Which can be difficult to accept now that whenua is divided by colonial constructs into property titles & the option to just relocate to a safer place costs millions, even for very small communities... #nzpol #LandUse

This is so immoral and disgusting that opposition parties should be 20 points ahead in the polls by now.

Excellent work. Urgent read.
My investigative piece today on Nicola Willis's surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry announcement. She has set it up so that the results are released 6 WEEKS BEFORE THE ELECTION
Please share where you can - between the voter suppression laws, and this, it could be a real killer come Nov 2026. #NZPOL #NZ

Did Nicola Willis just appoint Atlas Network connections to her surprise RBNZ Covid Inquiry?
Willis launches a surprise Covid inquiry with results to come out 6 weeks before the election. Most NZ publications noted her hiring of "independent" experts. I looked further into it.

‘Mean-spirited’ plan to charge market rates at hospital car parks dropped after backlash
Under the proposal, rates would have been set using market pricing for the location and the cost of comparative public transport and car park maintenance.

women with ovaries have testosterone. women with PCOS have have higher T than those who don't. cis women w PCOS are overrepresented in sport.
if you actually researched, you'd know that trans women are required to have years of T supression therapy before they're allowed to compete in sports.

Job growth still inching back to standstill (not getting worse). Where to over the next 6 months? My money is on bobbling along between 0 and 1% - i.e. below population growth. Others may have more hopium.
