Christopher Luxon says we need to say “yes” more and “no” less, yet his government said NO to new interisland ferries, NO to new state houses, NO to Dunedin hospital, NO to affordable water reform, NO to school upgrades, and NO to higher wages.

To add my two-cents - I have active projects that aim to understand how science is commercialised, how research findings are used (or not) by policymakers, and systemic policy barriers to innovation.
These are all classifed as social science.

Hell of a list of signatories.
Let's get this clear; these are some of the wealthiest (4 figure hourly rates) but also sharpest litigators in the country. This is not a group demographically disposed to 'woke'. This is their considered view of the law.

Luxon treats the coalition agreement - which HE personally negotiated under a year ago - as immutable, non-negotiable, carved in stone. But the founding document of this country, Te Tiriti? On the table to be torn to shreds, rewritten, renegotiated for at least the next six months.
