Listen to what’s NOT being said:
“(I don’t actually want you to know the truth. I only want you to believe the framing I’m providing; only what is advantageous to me for you to believe. Given that these are my actual, unspoken goals, then) WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU IS…”

Significant new information in this investigative article I've co-authored with Dr Ryan Ward on the foreign ideology influence behind the Regulatory Standards Bill.
New Zealand’s Epstein Files
New Zealand’s Regulatory Standards Bill looks like tidy lawmaking. But OIA documents reveal decades of foreign influence — embedding Richard Epstein’s radical “regulatory takings” theory into our laws...

Ummm, the CEO and the Chair of the RBNZ resigning within 6 months is actually NOT comparable to the business world as it is an extremely rare event. (IIRC, this has never happened before in the 32 years I've been here). This is a big deal & the press should be asking a LOT of questions.

The lack of self-awareness @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has baited them into is incredible.

The maddest someone has ever gotten at me was when I talked about the child sized manacles Jefferson had at Monticello for 9 year old children. They could not cope with the idea that a child the same age as their child had been enslaved. And it made them angry that I made them know facts
Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

Every word that Scott Galloway said 👏👏👏👏👏👏
I feel it all to my core. I’ve been screaming this since Trump came down the escalator.
Why are we excusing their abhorrent behavior? Musk & Trump are morally bankrupt.
Kevin O’Leary doesn’t even know what to do with his face.

That both the Chief Exec and a Director of the NZ Free Speech Union are candidates in the Internet NZ election, the FSU having signed up members by promoting a false panic about the new constitution (and taken a donation cut of the money) should be mainstream news. Hostile takeover.

“Very disingenuous” is pretty much standard operating mode for the FSU, but this is some special bullshit. They’re cheering on critics of the state being subjected to a retaliatory campaign by a very senior figure in that state. God, they’re loathsome.
This is a very disingenuous post from the Free Speech Union.
David Seymour did not attempt to engage with the academics.
He just abused them and encouraged hate towards them in contravention of the Cabinet Manual.
Tory said academics should be kept safe from abuse and targeted harassment.

You'll see NZFSU and Seymour try to downplay what he said and the rest of us seem hysterical/uptight while not being democratic.
As said below, Seymour enabled the online abuse of our academics by personally harassing them as acting Prime Minister. It is wrong and must be challenged. #nzpol

If you’re planning to submit on the RSB this weekend, remember:
Parliament web-server will be very busy this weekend, likely overloaded at times (as it was during the TPB subs process).
So, type up & save your sub, then copy-&-paste it to the site (as it sucks to lose your work to a web-glitch!).

If you're a billionaire and you're considering posting your opinions about how poorly you've been treated on Bluesky, try this instead: give all of your money to orphans and medical research and then walk into the forest, never to be seen or heard from again. You'll be surprised how well it works
