There were 159,000 written submissions on the Regulatory Standards Bill (on top of over 23,000 submissions last year) - numbers that are second only to the Treaty Principles Bill in NZ’s history.

More than 98% of public submissions were opposed.

There’s a word for this, but it’s not democracy.

The filth at RNZ can’t even write about this calamity without ‘bothsidesing’ it.
How is the number of TOURISTS relevant to a story about kiwis migrating to Aus in vast numbers?
And people on Bluesky still think that RNZ is an unbiased source of information.

The Epstein story gets a something that is tearing at the heart of the electorate: elite impunity. The idea that wealthy and powerful people can do terrible things *at scale* and face no consequences for them. Whatever political party actually stops it could rule the country for a generation.

Another in a long line of fails by our justice system. We keep letting people back into society who don't belong in our world. Then we do it again and again until they eventually do the worst they can do.

One day they will let him out again. Why?

#nzpol Migration data from Stats NZ today with 72,700 New Zealand citizens leaving in the year to Sept 2025 – one every 7 minutes & 22 seconds. It’s improved marginally, but it's way behind where it should be on Treasury forecasts. That creates a $1bn tax gap against forecast. A 🧵
International migration: September 2025 | Stats NZ
Annual net migration had a provisional gain of 12,400 (± 1,500) in the September 2025 year, compared with a gain of 42,400 (± 200) in the September 2024 year.
