The Green Party says proposed changes to the Employment Relations Act announced today by the Government will further undermine workers’ rights while pandering to big business.
This cruel Bill will cut off our most vulnerable workers from the rights that belong to them

ERA changes hurt workers, pander to big business
We are building a future where we do more, faster, to protect our planet and make sure everyone is treated equally.

A fantastic night on Wednesday at Labour's budget 2025 event. A huge turnout from people wanting to hear what SHOULD have been in the budget.

Because if you don’t challenge power, it will never change.
Comfort can be a curse.
You have to walk into rooms where you’re the minority.
Where your language is mispronounced.
Where your values are misunderstood.
And still speak with clarity, pride, and purpose.
Wero laid.

TBH @tepaatimaori.bsky.social are the only party doing the mahi on Bluesky.
We've all asked nicely but the Labour MPs all came and went, the Greens not much better.
All they need is a party account posting regularly
I think Labour got sick of being challenged on here and took the easy way out

Week in Review:
During a passionate debate over the punishment handed down to Te Pāti Māori MPs, some MPs looked back at last November's haka, while others raised concerns over what this extraordinary decision will mean for the future.

Today Parliament has sent a message to our mokopuna that their Māori identity is a threat to NZ’s democracy.
We reject Parliament’s racist mischaracterisation of our haka as contempt & intimidation. Our MPs acted with integrity, on behalf of our people, & in defence of #TeTiriti o Waitangi

Government members on Finance and Expenditure Committee just voted to use an AI bot to read submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill🙄. Turns out democracy under this government is real people making submissions and computers reading them. 👎
