"It's all about 'how can we ramp up exits, how can we get more people coming off the scheme', and that's the antithesis of the statutory purpose. It's the antithesis of why we have ACC in NZ."

"When government dismisses consultation as a nuisance, treats Te Tiriti as outdated, and derides scrutiny, those habits set a precedent. Future administrations will inherit not just the rules but also the culture that goes with them, and New Zealanders will pay the price."
#nzpol Pay attention, Aotearoa New Zealand, because this fascistic coalition government is gambling that you won't.
Don't let apathy take us back to the 1950s because this place really sucked back then and you won't like it. So stand up for your rights and defend the rights of others. Resist!

People might have more sympathy for a govt grappling with the potentially huge costs of climate change if the same govt had not just eviscerated our previously agreed climate change response goals in the name of not upsetting its farming support bloc. Personal responsibility indeed.

He wasn’t invited to speak about boys achievement. He chose to do so. His presentation put boys poor achievement down to the strong female culture in schools. Nothing else.

Politicians opposed to any and every form of CGT reliably claim their opposition is about “ordinary kiwis” when it is in fact about protecting a form of wealth generation that has a high entry cost, excludes an increasing number of ordinary kiwis & benefits from an unfair tax advantage.

This happens in the opposite direction, too, so it's not even a left or right bias. It's just habit. And I rarely see it in overseas media: It just seems like a way to avoid seriously engaging with a substantive issue.

The greatest benefit of AI transcription tools (regardless of industry) is in letting you focus on the person you’re talking to when there isn’t a second person taking notes. It’s a real benefit not to be underestimated but the transcription is never accurate. It always needs checking.
