I am deeply saddened that Benjamin Doyle made the decision to step down from being an MP.
Parliament is the "House of Commons"; it is for all us!
When we allow kafka-esque inquisitions to occur we cease to become a real democracy.
Go well Benjamin and your family. Do not disappear—we need you.

Hey @thomasnash.bsky.social this is worth looking into
Lately I haven't been well on the Wellington buses. Stale air and HVAC not working properly. So last night I took an Aranet CO2 air quality sensor from work and tried it on the No.1 bus from Newtown to Johnsonville.
Here are the levels at some time points while travelling home.😳

Official advice confirms that Regulatory Standards Bill is a fundamental threat to our ability to regulate polluting companies to achieve collective goods like clean rivers and a stable climate : www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...
Damning advice warns red-tape bill risks cost blow-outs, climate backsliding
Regulation Minister David Seymour argues good regulation pays for itself and that public servants don’t like the bill because it will make more work for them.

I’ve been mulling over how to express my disappointment in this outcome and Tori’s decision. Yadana captures it perfectly. Thankyou.
With @misswhanau.bsky.social stepping back from the mayoral contest. Can we just reflect on the reality that she worked in and what she managed to achieve

John Campbell shows empathy for rangatahi in prison, says facts & gets accolades; a young brown woman MP does the same & is subjected to a deranged media circus. Todd Muller's breakdown gets the kid-glove treatment; Golriz is still being hunted like prey. If only this phenomenon... had a NAME??

No doubt some will call me callous but this demand to fence off the entire waterfront just seems ludicrous to me. 7 deaths in last 20 years, all of whom had been drinking (source Post article today). According to same article 30,000 people per day pass along the waterfront. 1/2
