The Govt's rationing speclialist (aka MSD) is overheating trying to constrain benefit spending, but the number of people on a working-age benefit continues to sail way above forecasts. We are watching a permanently scarring event here. Grim.

It would be ironic if my glass half empty takes on the NZ economy proved to be overly optimistic. But, the latest benefits data is really bad. I expected that yellow line to continue to trend down, but, errrm, it isn't.

Oh..
New Zealand’s adoption of a 'no additional warming' target, rather than pursuing more ambitious reductions, was "an embarrassing and humiliating capture by industry". Says a climate expert at #COP30 in Brazil.

The Greens will repeal the Regulatory Standards Bill.
But ACT won't give up.
They will spend millions into fooling voters that free market capitalism is the only future left for New Zealand.
However, you can help stop ACT from getting even more power.

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.
