Coup. The word is coup.
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 public almost missed out on learning of the police hierarchy’s cover-up of its disgraced deputy commissioner’s behaviour – because until a late court hearing in the saga, the Crown had not given up on a permanent suppression order of his identity
The unholy comrade of a cover-up: name suppression

If you call your "trust" BANGERZ and you try to take over a school - you should be mocked into the ground.

The extent of the measles outbreak will be confirmed over coming days.
I really hope it is contained because there is little reason to believe Luxon will handle it anywhere near as well as Dame Jacinda Ardern handled the Covid outbreak.

The copies of #TheCovidResponse have all gone, but there are still plenty of other rewards available including ebooks like Nicola Gaston’s Why Science is Sexist and @siouxsiew.bsky.social’s Antibiotic Resistance. Get on it!
As a reward for supporting @siouxsiew.bsky.social I've donated 6 signed copies of #TheCovidResponse. And if you want to know how important Siouxsie's case was for academic freedom in Aotearoa, I've written a piece for the NZSR on what I think it means: ojs.victoria.ac.nz/nzsr/article...

How are we meant to judge their intentions more broadly when one of the biggest criminal and political stories of the year was openly, and overtly, forced under the rug?

How about we force lines companies to invest in undergrounding critical infrastructure like they should have been doing for the last 30 years.
We need more trees for biodiversity, wind breaks & reducing urban heat islands, not less.
