My submission on the Social Security Amendment Bill, as a thread 1/4
I strongly oppose this Bill. There is ample overseas and domestic evidence that increasing sanctions not only does not work as far as getting people off welfare and into work goes, it also costs more than it saves.

‘Vice signalling’ could describe the current NZ government’s bludgeoning approach to policy: eg always use English names first, enable te Tiriti to be undermined & ignore the growing social unrest and polarisation, cut social science & humanities research, end pedestrian/cycle ways & smoking bans.

And now the cuts to National Library and Archives. Both vital institutions in retaining our history and growing literacy in Aotearoa. Almost as if this government does not want us to be informed and literate.

Good god who remembers (was it) four years ago or so when Stuff apologised for being historically racist against Māori, vowed to do better, created Pou Tiaki, then a few years later axed Pou Tiaki and now is creating platforms for racism like this ffs reskeet and smash the YES button folks
another way to show support for Hīkoi mō te Tiriti is to vote in the Stuff poll. you can be sure they're monitoring all the clicks they get on anything Hīkoi-related and we need to show them it's important - and drown out the noes.

New Zealanders who don't speak te reo Māori nonetheless have impressive implicit knowledge of the language. Our new paper shows that this implicit knowledge actually gives you a headstart when you decide to explicitly learn the language. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

My wife visited the Covid memorial on South Bank - tried to video it she walked alongside it. Video was 9 minutes long, 9 minutes of death - that is a huge loss and masses of grief - deaths we avoided in Aotearoa thanks to great leadership and following the science.
