An excellent article that pulls no punches about the parlous state of science funding in Ao/NZ.

#nzpol Filled jobs out this week - and the number of filled jobs went up - Whoop! That's great news. Only 45,692 jobs to go until we are back to where we were at the election.

Something happened in November 2023, and jobs started to fall....

How To Destroy Public Services.

A diagram of ever growing in size blocks in a circle with a pushing down one to start the tip of all.

First falling block is labelled, "Reduce the budget of services", as it falls.

The other labels going around are:
- Elimination of positions in public services, because the budget has been reduced
- Complain about the decline in quality and efficiency of public services
- Claim that the degradation of public services is proof of government inefficiency and so privatization is needed

The final block is labelled, "Privatisation"

i’m confusion

teaching children that gender roles are a social construct is “woke” and “grooming behaviour”

but teaching the children gender roles via historic euro-centric patriarchy and religious values is okay?

NZ Agribusiness disrupts all efforts to cut climate pollution, meaning more disruption for food production from extreme weather in the future. NZ Fishing Companies target spawning events to catch quota, which means fewer fish in the future. These industries need public oversight not self-regulation.

Talk about ideological extremism. We literally have a govt that puts shareholder profits above people’s lives, supports genocide over respect for international laws, imported culture wars over cost of living… They don’t care about public opinion. Trumpist tactics rely on extremism & divisions #nzpol

The truth about NZ Public Housing. Not Luxon’s Coalition “pen for hire” version.

It is needed and more of it..

Public housing serves those with the greatest need—contrary to Government’s review claims

New research shows people living in public housing have higher levels of need than those receiving the Accommodation Supplement, contradicting the findings of a government-commissioned report.

I'm reading the new Social Sciences curriculum content and I wasn't prepared for how sad I would feel. We spent thousands of hours working with the previous iteration and the NZ history content and all that enthusiasm and excitement was just killed for something so bad.
