Zero surprises that the brainless transphobic health minister in NZ ignored all expert advice and evidence and banned puberty blockers for trans youth. Literal blood on his hands.

The #Uber loss in the Supreme Court “highlights a grey area in the law”, says Brooke Van Velden.
It’s been through 3 courts. The judges were unanimous. There’s nothing grey about it. The law is black & white. WORKERS HAVE RIGHTS! That’s the real “problem” this anti-worker govt wants to “fix” #nzpol

But... the ACT party and Brooke van Valden KNEW this case was likely to lose, and has had closed-door meetings with Uber.
ACT's Employment Relations Act (ERA) Bill is a Trumpian-dictator move that aims to conveniently nullify the Aotearoa legal system decision.
The ERA Bill must be killed, now.
