ACC have scrapped their controversial plans to limit working from home. Working from home is good for workers, and it’s good for employers. #NZPol #Kikorangi

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

Remember when it was too much WFH that was the problem? This is just that again – finding something to point at and blame. The fact that the economy is full of seasonal businesses that make their money in summer is studiously ignored. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

The summer shutdown is coming but should the Kiwi summer holiday still stay sacrosanct?

Her unforgivable political crime was policking while female and putting higher value on human lives than rich cunts' ability to go to their baches when ever they wanted... so the robber barons bought a Nazi govt to make sure their access to baches and everything else would be forever unimpeded.

Andrew Coster "did the right thing" and "fell on his sword".
... he jumped before the public service enquiry could be finished and made public. He didn't fail to "ask questions' and "just trusted too much". He was NZs top policeman, it goes without saying he's a shit copper and an even shitter exec

Seymour: let's not make "assumptions" that a serious food safety incident is the responsibility of a company with a record of food safety incidents so bad that officials strongly warned against contracting it. Maybe it was the person who reported it! What a prick. www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/christchu...

Rates increases in recent tears have been crazy, but this is just dumb, completely failing to address key reasons for those increases:
- decades on underinvestment that have left failing infrastructure whose replacement can't be delayed any further
- central govt offloading costs onto local govt
Watch: Christopher Luxon faces questions amid speculation over rates cap policy
The government's long-awaited rates cap is likely to start with minimum increases of two percent and a maximum of four percent, and would take effect from the start of 2027.

NZPFU Letter to Van Velden
Pass it on
#nzpol
To my Minister, the honorable Brooke Van Velden. I sat watching our Deputy National Commander on TV friday morning, yet again spinning things to make FENZ sound squeaky clean. She would make a great Politician. I guess I expect a bit of honesty from people who claim to have been a career firefighter, a profession New Zealanders trust. It seems my expectations were too high. Hopefully as a firefighter myself, I can try to clear up a few things FENZ keeps saying publicly — because a lot of it simply isn’t true. First — FENZ claims our bargaining proposal is three times their offer. That is factually wrong. A lie if you like. Our proposal was no where near that. I was in the room, I know that and they know that. Next — trucks. FENZ keeps talking about ‘delivering new trucks’. They brag about ‘317 new firetrucks delivered since 2017'. What they don’t say is the vast majority were smaller, cheaper volunteer units used in provincial/rural NZ For our career crews, that need a larger, stronger firetruck to service New Zealand's cities, not one new frontline firetruck since 2018. Not one. This year from September, we were told 23 new trucks were finally scheduled to arrive. Not a single one has turned up. Not One. And the "new" old trucks, bought 5 years ago, now out of warranty, were sent back to Europe to have new pumps and new lockers added (FENZ hurry to point out the pumps and lockers have warranty... duh)— those trucks are now sitting around rusting because the gear doesn’t even fit. That’s the level of planning we’re dealing with. These new old trucks are the same ones that firefighters refused to ride back in 2017 because of chassis cracks, doors that fell off, and intercoolers that have failed, in every single truck, confirmed by FENZ in an OIA FENZ's solution. Buy more of the same FENZ also keeps throwing around firefighters’ pay proposal as if asking to be kept up with inflation is evil. The irony of someone on close to $350,000 who sits behind a desk, insinuating 85,000 is alot for a senior firefighter (who actually goes into fires) is not lost on me. Of course I am the unreasonable one for expecting my employer would try their best to keep me moving alongside inflation. Let’s clear this one up: overtime is paid for hours worked above the 42-hour week. Is FENZ suggesting we don't pay firefighters for working extra hours? It is true a firefighter might reach $90,000 — after years of training, exams, leadership responsibilities, and a job where you literally run into burning buildings and try to bring dead people back to life. However, a recruit firefighter earns just $2.35 above minimum wage. Once they graduate, they move to $1.25 below the living wage That’s what you get for entering one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. And yes — in 2005, $90,000 was a solid wage. Today, most people are paying $40-50,000 a year in rent alone — after tax. FENZ knows this. They just hope you don’t think about it. Meanwhile, You (Hon Minister) and FENZ agreed to cut the levy that funds the entire organisation by more than 30% — and to strip out another $240 million in savings on top of that. And based on the offer they’ve put on the table, it sure doesn’t look like the savings are coming from the executives earning half a million a year. It’s frontline firefighters who are going to foot the lions share of that bill— those at the bottom who can’t afford a kilo of mince and who are struggling to pay rent. I am sure the reason for the savings and the cuts seem noble, what isn't noble is giving us a 7% effective paycut to achieve it. So when they talk about ‘investment’ and ‘new trucks’ and ‘supporting firefighters’ — remember this: The numbers don’t lie. The facts don’t lie. We’re not striking for fun. We’re striking because FENZ has been failing firefighters — and the public — for years. Please help. Regards David Phillips Station Officer
