The anti-democratic actions just keep mounting up. NZ is sliding backwards.

Parliament's Speaker Gerry Brownlee called the decision "very disappointing" but necessary after Palestine protesters disrupted proceedings and indicated they intended further action.

Luxon & Seymour's new laws are a trap. Hidden in the fine print: ratepayers must compensate landowners with cash if environmental rules stop them from developing. It’s your hard-earned money going straight to the wealthy. A kick in the guts. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/politics/09-...
RIP RMA: Government prays for economic boom with new bills
The government is hailing a 'once-in-a-generation opportunity to finally unburden ourselves from the millstone weighing down our country'.

Sometimes people tell me that I exaggerate when I say that the US openly hostile towards Europe. The NSS speaks a very clear language though, and it is a hostile one.
Europeans are waking up this morning to find the new US National Security Strategy (quietly) released. And what it has to say on Europe could not be clearer. On the „stark prospect of civilizations erasure“ for example. 👇

A young fur seal waddled into a New Zealand bar on a rainy Sunday, sparking excitement and disbelief.
The pup was showing “normal exploratory behavior” by exploring the bar, which was about a mile from the coast, a ranger said. https://wapo.st/4rBDpL9

The school board pushbacks confirm my theory that the so-called liberal MPs’ job experience - often limited to working for the Party, and placed in Party-friendly companies - has left them uniquely ignorant of how much the rest of our society has moved on. It’s not 2005 anymore, and Brash still lost

The Education Ministry advice preceded the decision to delete a clause in the Education and Training Act that required schools to give effect to the Treaty of Waitangi.
