How bad actors roam social media to spread misinformation and manipulate people for gain. And why we shouldn't let it go unchallenged.

Imagine having 9 months to read a report about abuse in State care & then not bothering to read any of it before meeting with survivor. Dereliction of duty. Doocey has no right being the minister for mental health. He needs to be stripped of his portfolios immediately. Unacceptable and unforgivable.

They *do not care.*
Everything the govt is doing comes down to the fact that the rich, pakeha, property-owning classes of this country were given Rules by A Woman and lost their minds.
Now all rules are the enemy, even ones that say "don't drink bleach" or "don't kill kids by speeding." #nzpol

There is no such thing as charging with "hate-motivated crimes" or "hate crimes" in NZ. While Royal Commission into March 15 recommended we make this change, Labour kicked it to the Law Commission. Is it too much to ask for police to know the law they're meant to enforce?

Just to confirm in December it was estimated $400 million was spent on the project before it was axed
Plus the mega ferry cancelled contract and we could see $1billion being spent on nothing.

On the face of it, the Minister is misreading the roomโ and not reading the evidence. A reckons-based culture war has no place on our streets. #nzpol

Does Workplace Relations Minister Brooke Van Velden understand the international treaties that New Zealand is a party to and her legal obligations to consult with unions? She should read ILO Convention 144 on Tripartite Consultation and what it means. #nzpol

If I was working for Business NZ or NZCTU and I got this fob off from Minister Van Velden, I'd make sure to include it in annual reports to ILO on New Zealand's (non)compliance with its international and domestic obligations. No penalty but looks bad. #nzpol

David Cameron spent several years campaigning on the slogan โBroken Britainโ
Sound familiar?
That was the start of Britain being broken by the Tories.
We can't let Luxon and his cronies do the same here.

Perfect summary.
Worth a read if you want to understand Luxon and his mates.
Itโs not exactly equal to this (because USA) but the same basic processes apply if you met Kings/Grammar boys circa the 80s to 90s. I have a large collection of horror stories.

For years, the trucking industry has been selling the lie that rail is uneconomic while trucks are more efficient. Actually, the opposite is true. The only reason that the trucking industry is profitable is because itโs effectively sponsored by the taxpayer.

There's periodic discussion among these fine AoNZ accounts about whether ours really is The Worst Govt Ever. I submit it is just because of its unprecedented hostility/indifference to the welfare of its citizens. Exhibit A - selection of headlines from just today.

Pre-election, she said the WEAG Report supported her clearly ignorant, venal opinions concerning what she planned to do. It certainly did not.
Now those plans are in action, in a coalition with partners who'd go *even further* if they could.
Far more better WAKE TF UP before election 2026.

Canโt wait for a NZ where the private prison industry starts bribing politicians and judges to:
1) ignore subhuman conditions/food
2) put more people in prison for minor offenses
3) change laws so more crimes require prison time.
Idiots.

The cruelty of Luxon's "I don't care" statement re: NZ kids rights as the Abuse in Care inquiry report goes to our Govenor General tonight shouldn't be lost on the NZ public.
It's horrifically absurd that he refuses to acknowledge the evidence that residential care harms kids. #nzpol
