This has been the vicious fucking thing about the "Jobseeker Benefit" ever since Paula Bennett coined it in 2013
In addition to keeping people in poverty it's been a term of propaganda forcing us all to accept the frame of welfare as economic obligation instead of social support

Fucksake. It's quite clear now that they only looked at this benefit policy as political marketing and took no advice on who it would impact – which includes young people with serious health issues and disabilities. Just feckless and cynical. Shame on them. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Hundreds of teens with a health condition, disability may be cut from Jobseeker benefit
The government is ending Jobseeker payments to 18- and 19 year olds whose parents earn more than $65,000.

Here are 3 ideas to make Parliament reflect Aotearoa better:
1. Hang a copy of Te Tiriti in the debating chamber as a reminder of what is at our foundation.
2. Create space for haka to be performed in the debating chamber.
2. Allow haka from the public gallery with permission.

Very true. The haka is not just used to challenge. It is used to honour, & to support amongst other things. Having it welcomed in Parliament would show we are a truly South Pacific nation not threatened by displays of our indigenous culture. Time we grew up. #nzpol

This sucks. This sucks SO much. Between this and media studies it's almost like the government of the day fears people who can inquire, question, interpret, and critique visual media. And people who want to learn from history.
They are removing art history from the senior school curriculum. The 2 years of art history I did in the 90s are literally the knowledge I use the most in my everyday life, my career, & for joy.

The surcharges will be moved to the customer as a small bump to the price on the shelf. This means the poorest who swipe instead of tap are subsidizing those that don't need subsidizing. The Luxon Govt hates the poorest of us.

As predicted ... here is the NZBORA s7 report on the Government's Electoral Amendment Bill, in which the removal of same-day enrolment and voting for the entire advance voting period is declared to be an unjustifiable limit on the right to vote.
