GOOD NEWS ALERT 🚨
Today the government relented to pressure from the @livingwageaotearoa.bsky.social and retained the requirement for contracted workers to be paid at least the Living Wage rate in Government Contracts. Around 5,000 workers will likely benefit from this decision

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

#nzpol Monthly employment data - and there are 4,814 more jobs than this time last month! Whoop. Only 42,746 to go to get us to where we were at the last election. 62 jobs lost every single day of this government, one roughly every 23 minutes. A 🧵

Kinda crazy how we were all led to believe that the placebo effect showed the incredible power of the mind, up there with 'you only use 10% of your brain' 😅
If we take away the statistical quirks and biases, is there any placebo effect left? | Mike Hall

Anyone standing for council who wants to 'cut rates' or claims 'rates are too high' gets an immediate veto from me. Use rates wisely, but you obviously can't have your cake and eat it too.

#nzpol Monthly jobs rose this month – great! Except we have 36,734 fewer jobs than at the election. There are 17,573 fewer jobs than this time last year. Total wages have fallen 4% in real terms. If the current economic plan is working – its not working for working people. A 🧵

Not so top secret: FBI boss Kash Patel spotted at Parliament
An eagle-eyed Newstalk ZB journalist on his second day in the job spotted the boss of the FBI loitering in the bowels of Parliament. But no one from the Government will say if or why he’s here.
