Exactly this. This is both an act of deliberate cruelty towards a marginalised, vulnerable community and a trial balloon to see how far they can push, and how fast.
(Going by the last two years and the pace and volume of erosion, and active targeting of vulnerable people - very far, and very fast.)

The Andrew Little situation strongly implies he just confidently assumed he could manage Chung fine, and put zero thought into it beyond that.
Which means he also just assumed Tory Whanau was doing a bad job when he could cruise through.
And that's disrespectful/racist/sexist as shit. #nzpol

I can't even describe how much this hurts. I'm thinking about all the whānau I've talked to this year who support their kids, who came to ask how they could access this care to be told that there was no access currently, but that there was work being done. This government have stolen that hope.

Restricting the availability of puberty blockers to trans kids but allowing them for cis kids is a blatant violation of NZBORA (1990) and the Human Rights Act (1993).
This will undoubtedly end up in court - very quickly as the subject of a Judicial Review.

I don't expect the bluesky mods to enforce their TOS against government accounts.
But they are the ones who decided to make the social media site where all the autistic people hang out.
"Say what the rules actually are, then apply them like you said you would" is a bare minimum for this crowd.

Luxon, Mitchell, and Hipkins all failed to apologise in the House to Tamatha Paul today for their derogatory comments about her stating that police on the streets doesn't make people feel safe, and Tamatha has too much grace and class to demand it.

That shouldn't be surprising, given that Labour kick-started the neoliberal reforms of the 1980s.
