Poor Louise Nicholas. She was on RNZ this morning but I couldn't listen. Can't imagine how she's feeling after all the work she's done.

I travel that road often. It definitely felt safer at 80hph.

Exactly what I was thinking. So much legislation has been pushed through under urgency, Ie: without scrutiny that I have no confidence they would listen to expert advice on this. #nzpol

This seems harsh. Looking from the outside, once was a mistake, but twice? I don't understand how that happened. Can't even put the second time down to the peculiarities of the electoral college.

Payroll systems should be able to calculate tax correctly. It's probably a lump sum rate. Holiday pay remediation has been a nightmare.

It would be worse if those who have gone to Australia, or to other regions were still here. The stats don't tell everything.

It's the complexity of the current Holidays Act and payroll systems that haven't calculated properly. Big remediation projects at all the DHBs, and many other organisations. I don't know why they can't just calculate and give you a refund. They have all the data.

I don't think you can translate the politics of a mayoral race in a large urban centre in a deeply divided country, to a country of 5 million, geographically dispersed between urban and rural. Also worth noting that Labour was relatively well represented in urban areas until 2023- Covid backlash.

From a non US person, wouldn't this potentially come back to bite them when the other side regains the Senate? Unless the latter isnt in the plan.

I kept looking for a sentence about this bill needing to be drawn from the tin to get a hearing. So, it's just part of the usual flurry of media items about fireworks that come out every time this year. And easy publicity for NZ First.

This government seems only capable of of looking at the short term, now next year's election. But will this action affect access to markets? In the volatile world we are in where things change on the whim of Trump's mood, I'd have thought we'd want to look after the other markets we have.
