NZ stands with our firefighters ✊

They're facing a Dire Emergency: broken down trucks, dangerous staffing, faulty equipment, and FENZ refusing to address a failing system. Firefighters want to keep New Zealanders safe—but they need FENZ to show up and genuinely prioritise community safety. #nzpol

"When all hope was gone, you called for Granny Weatherwax, because she was the best.

They are citizens with employment rights, professionals with ethical obligations, not just public and state servants. So when work conditions make safe, competent practice impossible, acting collectively, including through lawful strike, is an exercise in professional integrity, not party politics.

Public servants must be politically neutral in their official roles, but they are also ordinary citizens with employment rights. Political neutrality does not erase the right to organise, bargain, and, where lawful, strike; nor does it forbid people from being politically active outside work.
