NZ First MP & Fisheries Minister Shane Jones has scrapped the limit on how many sea lions can be killed by the fishing industry. Last month it was Seymour & dolphins, now it's sea lions - what's next, Luxon punching penguins?

Seriously. Trusted civil servants are telling us that @EricaStanfordMP and the @NZNationalParty have also started attacking the delivery of professional learning tailored to help teachers build cultural competency and integrate mātauranga Māori. Why attack these things? #nzpol

Forcing the majority of councils to hold divisive referendums on Māori wards when they’ve already been democratically supported is wild. What a waste of time & money for councils when most are cash strapped now. What happened to localism? What happens if councils refuse?
At a time when Local Govt are dealing with: - Historic underinvestment in water infrastructure - Housing and transport pressures - A broken funding & financing model driving record rates increases The coalition govt has made this their priority? 🤷♂️

Shut up. Just SHUT UP. SailGP signed up to run a commercial event in a marine mammal sanctuary, agreed to the conditions and actively traded on their great wildlife care plan. But I supposed entitled rich guys gotta stick together. newsroom.co.nz/2024/03/25/sir…
Reading and espousing business self-help books with a lack of self-awareness, understanding of the nuances of people together with the importance of relationships and lacking emotional intelligence, epitomises mediocre leadership. thepost.co.nz/politics/35022…
Wait, what? Govt talking points on #Smokefree weren't evidence based, or supported by official advice? What then were the reasons for repealling smokefree? Couldn't have been #BigTobacco influence, could it?? rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/…
Supporting carers costs less than carer burnout. School lunches cost less than lower academic achievement & earning potential. Smoking tax is less than the health costs. Stop saying this govt are good economic managers when they'd fail a basic marshmallow test time & time again.
It's remarkable how many people are convinced that raised crossings cause congestion. Congestion isn't cars slowing down a bit. Congestion is you, in your car, multiplied.
It is not the mark of a good leader to just do stuff because you said you were going to do it. As the opposition, you may say what you'll do if you get in. But, when you have all the evidence and it screams no, it is a sign of weakness to push through anyway. #nzpol
I put it to you, the days of taxpayers being treated like a bottomless ATM are over....for the unentitled.
is it time to talk about how Luxon -bought a 3brm family home (mortgage-free) in the middle of the housing crisis -converted it into his electorate office -charges taxpayers $45k/yr rent for it, highest of any electorate office -rather than just renting a nearby existing office?
If everything is done under urgency with no possibility of debate and select committee then this means the elected opposition cannot hold the government to account and we are in a de facto authoritarian regime.
Māori Health Authority next with no opportunity for public feedback is just shocking.
15/16 bills pushed through urgency under this govt. Just outrageous.
So we're going to have legislation introduced to reverse #smokefree laws that will be passed under urgency, without select committee review, without public consultation, based on false assertions, that experts and officials reject. This is not how serious govt shd work.
Remember, the point of the new gang law isn't to stop gangs. They know it won't work. The point is to trick you into opposing a 'tough on crime' government and frame you as pro criminal. it was pure politics in opposition. it's pure politics in government. don't be sucked in.

Again refusal by the PM to answer questions in the House during Question time. Even the speaker agreed, it’s an approach not seen with previous Prime Ministers. Turning every question to the PM into an attack on the previous govt rather than providing accountability is shameful.

Can someone explain to me how we can give $41mil to another country and at the same time ask hospitals to save $80mil - how can this make any sense?
I put it to you, to run a coalition of cun̶ts your need too be in the driver's seat. @rodemmerson
I cannot be the only one who prefers a written list of steps to achieve the desired result over a video of someone showing me how to do it. Right?
Govt's top up hospital budgets every year. Alternative is what National is doing: denying hospitals $80m means fewer elective surgeries, theatres go underused, doctors & nurses working less, people waiting longer Total false economy. But, hey, landlord tax cuts come first
when you've been on Twitter for an age you get to see the rhythms of people's lives. Births, deaths, marriages, divorces. New pets, beloved pets, pets dying. It counts. In my life all of this counts.
So, in light of Luxon's Cabinet changes, I can't help wondering why Casey Costello still has her Health portfolio. Not informing Cabinet of the estimated $46B benefits of the Smokefree policy was quite the failing.

Jeez. He actually said that out loud?
Luxon firing people in his own party to pretend he has any control over anything is kinda cute
@1NewsNZ Luxon should have sacked Costello and Jones for taking money for favours... He's too weak to go against his masters.
So the failure that is the three strikes legislation is back. When National campaigned last year, I don’t think folks realised how heavy that emphasis was on the “back” part of “back on track”. Rolling backward across the board.
