Not just Maori would protest this. Seymour has his head in the sand if he thinks this is a popular move. Jolly good article from Joel Maxwell. #nzpol

'Nah, f... off': Māori say Treaty referendum would trigger widespread protest
“If someone tells me, walking down the street, that they would tick for the referendum and say ‘yes’, that would p… me off … it’s like, ‘Nah, f… off.’”

It's been 4 years, 7 months, & 9 days since the tragic terrorist attacks in Christchurch on March 15, 2019. Therafter, we stood united as a nation affirming that love would triumph over hate. Each of us must work together to ensure New Zealand fulfills its promise as a safe haven for all.

Hey NZ folks, I'm still on the lookout for a new role! If you need (or know someone who needs) a person with experience in building environmental measurement frameworks, scientific research, and communicating science in the startup space...let's chat! Or a boost to your networks is appreciated too.

Cruel, dehumanising and out of touch. That's one description of National's policy to get more beneficiaries into work. But party leader Christopher Luxon's reckons it's a policy driven by love. If in ...

So let me get this straight. We need high unemployment to keep inflation in check. But we also need to punish those who are unemployed. How is this not a broken economic system?
