#nzpol Just catching up with the HYEFU data today - but the data looks grim pretty much across the board. One data point stood out to me - the economy will be cumulatively $28.3bn smaller at the next election than predicted by Treasury at the last election.

Researchers identified nitrate-rich cow urine as a primary cause of contaminated groundwater.
A 2021 study found up to 100 cases of bowel cancer and 40 deaths might be caused by nitrate-contaminated drinking water each year - 800,000 New Zealanders exposed to potentially hazardous levels.

Stop saying the tragedy in Sydney demonstrates that strict gun laws don’t work.
There were ZERO mass shootings in Australia in the two decades after strict gun laws were passed in 1996.
We have so much we need to do, but strict gun laws remain a critical part of the solution.

Chris Bishop: "The RMA has been a disaster for the last 30 years..." Chris it was your team that passed it! Go talk to Simon Upton. It was amended in 1993, 1994, 1996, 1997, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005... And in 30 years time your replacement will be called a disaster too. #nzpol

I was just thinking about this. I’m pretty sure that shorter working weeks, for example, have been found to increase productivity rather than harm it.

Would be keen to see some evidence showing that working more hours means higher productivity. From what I can tell, NZers already work long hours, more than in Ireland and Norway.

Holy moly. They froze all the claims while they decided whether or not to honour them. And it took them a whole year and three ministers to see sense and not cut them.

Mouldy School lunches aren't a David Seymour issue. PM Chris Luxon has stressed how he sets clear expectations. Well? Now what? Either Compass and Seymour failed to live up to his expectations and should be replaced or it's his failing for not setting expectations properly and he should go. #nzpol

The right: you can't just give people nice things! Then they'd be the same as us. They wouldn't know what to do with things if they got them anyways.
