Marilyn Waring: Librarians’ work is essential – and still treated as expendable
After hearing their testimony to the People's Select Committee, I'm outraged at how brutally librarians' right to equal pay was legislated away.

David Seymour says kiwis are squeamish about handing state assets - paid for by everyone - to ACT party donors to make profits they don’t need & reduce services & supports we require for a dignified life. #nzpol
Yeah David we’re as understandably squeamish as you are self-serving. Hugely. #ACTout

David Seymour says Kiwis are too squeamish about privatisation – history shows why they lost the appetite
The ACT Party leader believes government assets should provide a return or be sold. But a majority of New Zealanders are consistently opposed to more privatisation.

My wife and I were on a beach in the Wellington area and found this at a car park, in the grass.
It is approximately the size of a person's hand,made of bone, and intricately carved.
I've masked the lower half,as only the legitimate owner will be able to fully describe it.

Shame Jones really is doing the opposite to what he claims he’s doing - his approach makes us less secure and more dependent on foreign suppliers, and less secure relying on non-renewables. He’s not putting @nzfirst.bsky.social, he’s putting his overseas donors first. #nzpol

Watch: National and Labour MPs team up to get slavery bill heard after ACT objects
A new process to skip the 'biscuit tin' lottery is being used for the first time - because ACT refused to support a government bill.

The prospective buyers of Fletchers "The Hill" had better do their homework. The noise from the racecourse must be keeping hundreds of households awake atm. And residents of the development will get the full amphitheatre experience.

Fire at will in every workplace, removing remedies for unfair dismissal, and even the ability to raise a grievance if you earn over 200k… 😬
