'Footnote in history': Constitutional experts shrug off Regulatory Standards Bill tweaks
'Footnote in history': Constitutional experts shrug off Regulatory Standards Bill tweaks
David Seymour says NZ First's changes to his bill are a 'win-win', not a backdown - but experts say the way it's been handled means it is unlikely to have lasting impact.

Oh! So basic standards around truth and veracity will be applied to media transmitted via the internet? Sounds like a revolutionary idea whose time has come at long long last

I wish NZ Labour could understand they can make bold, daring, (controversial even!) statements about future direction without releasing detailed policy.

And when the Right demand policy, refuse and reiterate your point and use it to attack their failures harder.

Regulatory Standards Bill will expose the SPCA to penalty if they remove abused animals; it will expose taxpayers to compensate suspected criminals for confiscated assets; farmers can do as they want; Peter Thiels can build bunkers anywhere. A terrible bill with > 98% opposed. #nzpol

I'm reading Positive tipping points by (Dr) Tim Lenton. It's about we might yet save ourselves and the ecosystem from climate change. He offers hope, but counsels urgency. It's a must read

Govt to cut #JobSeeker benefit for 18 & 19 year olds who’s parents earn over $65,000, even if the teens have a disability or health condition. With #CostOfLiving & the job shortage they’re cranking up stress levels to 11, all to meet a target.
My #cartoon today about hard-nosed #NZpol
Cartoon. Title: “Job Seeee-e-e-e” Image shows PM Christopher Luxon at the open hatch of a small plane, high above farmland. He’s leaning out, and holding up a parachute pack, labelled “Job Seeker” He’s calling out to someone falling from the plane, “And I’ve kept your parachute because you kids from low-income homes need some motivation” Then he adds, “Don’t let that disability slow you down!”

National parks were the main places I wanted my kids to see, and I wrote about them in THE LAST AMERICAN ROAD TRIP. Breaks my heart that the book is coming out as Trump tries to make good on his plans to destroy them. I hope my book helps the effort to fight back. www.thelastamericanroadtrip.com

The Black Summer bushfires cost Australians over $50 billion.

As we enter another high-risk bushfire season, we shouldn't wait for the next disaster to act.

The Government could put a climate disaster levy on gas & coal exports to help pay for the damage.

Luxonomics is really killing NZ's economy #nzpol #kiwi
As economy tanks, the Coalition relishes the chance for distraction & an excuse to clamp down on protest
The right's frenzy is complete. Each step advances a clear strategy and the Greens are in their way.

Pt2🧵: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "Global Samud Flotilla are not heroes. Our mistreatment by Israel is not the story. We need more than humanitarian aid to Gaza, we need to stop the decades-long siege. The violence of 'business as usual.' Genocides fueled by our own governments."

Anne Salmond: Academic freedom and its enemies
In NZ there are chilling moves towards illiberal democracy. While they are being strong resisted so far, political leaders and others must wake up.
