Everything else up till now has been practice for making a submission against this dangerous dogshit of a bill. David seymour has tried this 3 times so far and he's thrown every dirty trick in the book to try and get it through this time
‼️ RSB ‼️
This Bill is anti-Māori, anti-diversity, & anti-democracy
The Regulatory Standards Bill lets judges strike down laws that support Te Tiriti, equity, or kaupapa Māori. It’s ACT’s agenda in disguise & it’s live now
Subs close 1pm, Monday 23 June. Flood the system ‼️

OPINION: Last week the New Zealand First leader launched a bill that was so devoid of facts that it would have made Donald Trump blush.

Right! The Oranga Tamariki Amendment Bill submission is done. I almost overlooked it in favour of the Regulatory Standards Bill but Emily Writes made great list with dates & points & I realised I was best placed to submit on it due to my experience with the exact kids that bill targets 🙌

Turns out being compassionate and not using moral panic as your starting point means you reach very different conclusions about medical care issues.
After extensive review, France has established very positive gender affirming care guidelines, and they’ve rejected the highly politicized Cass Report as simply false.

A reprise from The Spinoff
Lange "My instinctive distaste for the [radical] proposal has hardened … People are not analysts of the economy. They feel secure or they feel frightened, and that is what decides their vote"
This is a good read, and explains a lot of the political turmoil of the time.
