@actparty @dbseymour Your government: wage growth is confirmed as the WORST in the OECD, at 6.4% below Q1 2021. Unemployment has risen to 5.3% post-pandemic lows of 3%, while coy. liquidations hit an 11-year high of over 3,000. Crown net debt sits at 41% of GDP with forecasts at near 48% - twat 🖕

@kitcalledkat @aniobrien 2.9B to Landlords in THREE YEARS!!!! This is your IDOL https://t.co/vQzzrdxNCt

@kitcalledkat @aniobrien “Yanno” what really gives me the shits, are dumb fcks like you. 2.9b given to landlords in 3yrs vs 2.7b to iwi over 30yrs. Land loss alone for iwi due to confiscations = trillions. Fck off back to the dirty hole you crawled out from.

A year on from the incident inside the Minister of Finance’s office involving Maiki Sherman and Lloyd Burr, there are still more questions than answers.

I now know what is alleged to have been said in the exchange involving Burr. But it’s not for me to disclose it. It’s for Lloyd Burr to explain it publicly, so people can finally judge the full context for themselves.

What we do know is this:

A senior political journalist lost her job.

The Minister of Finance hosted inappropriate boozy drinks inside her ministerial office.

Someone who was not even in the room — and who is connected to a right-wing lobby-style organisation, not journalism — somehow obtained and published selected parts of the exchange, but not all of it.

That selective leaking was an extraordinary convenience for the people who benefited from the fallout.

It’s also worth remembering the political context at the time. The Government was under pressure over TVNZ, the polls were softening, and questions were being asked about the Prime Minister’s leadership.

Any reasonable observer could conclude there was some serious political skulduggery at play.

But the biggest unanswered question remains: what exactly was said, and why has only part of the story ever been told?

If there is fuller context that changes the public understanding of what happened, then Lloyd Burr should front-foot it and tell the public himself.

Because after a year of silence, that silence is starting to say a lot.

@JoelKatz Fascinating, most are choosing red. Def a reflection of the world we’re living in…many prioritize themselves over the collective. Ask this question 30 years ago and I suspect you’d have a very different response. Apply this to geopolitics and I wonder which button the US pushed

The Gene Technology Bill: 9 Reasons New Zealanders Are Saying NO

Nearly 14,500 people made submissions on the Gene Technology Bill. 97% said NO.

And yet, the Health Select Committee has recommended the Bill be passed.

So what exactly is wrong with it? Why are so many New Zealanders against it?

We’ve pulled together a simple, plain-English checklist of the biggest concerns — things like:
> No labels, no choice (you won’t know what’s on your plate)
> Local voices silenced (councils stripped of the right to go GE-free)
> Unregulated loopholes (gene-edited organisms slipping through without testing or oversight)
> Export risks (shutting doors to markets that don’t want GE)
> More chemicals (GE crops designed for glyphosate tolerance + higher residue limits = more sprays, more exposure)
…and that’s just the start.

We have added a PDF version of this article for download, printing, and sharing, which is linked in the article below.

This Bill still has to make its way through Parliament. That means it’s not a done deal.

But it also means now is the time to speak up.

>> Share this article. (Link in comments)
>> Talk about it with your family, friends, and neighbours.
>> Contact your MP and tell them you oppose the Bill.

Silence is what lets them get away with it.

Silence is no longer an option.

@nzfirst @winstonpeters @mangonui08 bin it entirely. The environmental release is an absolute NO. The HSNO act is perfect as it was. Medical pieces to update should be considered - but let’s have the public involved, because many people still have serious problems with the mandatory approvals (we’ve seen how the last labour govt sold out our public health). Let’s not do that again or allow further erosion of already low public trust in favour of greedy biotech corporations. These vested interests scientists need to be kept on a leash and restricted in a lab at minimum. We look forward to seeing you all on the 4th Nov, in Wellington. By the way - you know Scion has GE Pine Trees in outdoors in field trials in Rotorua?

@elonmusk So if one accepts migration and sovereignty when Europeans did it (as is the case in NZ), but rejects it when others migrate to the UK, should the standards still be applied consistently? Or is it simply a case of colonial logic inverted?
