Unemployment data today from Stats NZ today shows a rise from 3.4% in March 2023 to 4.3% in March 2024. That's an extra 31,000 people unemployed - with the data showing the fastest rises for women, kaimahi Māori, and Pacific Peoples. The time to act is now. A 🧵
UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese called for “immediate and unconditional sanctions” against Israel, citing that what Israel is doing to the Palestinians is most likely “ethnic cleansing”, during a press conference in Cairo on Thursday.

Because the stupid graph showing covid deaths in NZ rising a year after vaccination without any sense of how that compares to other countries is doing the rounds yet again, here is one with a low vax country for scale.

Anyway just because he's a wanker we shouldn't forget that he also has terrible, terrible ideas based on some of the most shitty exponents of American Christianity and it's not all on Seymour.
COYG!!! 5-0 to the Arsenal. Chelsea fans looking a wee bit plastic. The majority seem to have done one well before the final whistle. #arsenal
Any company using fast track will have no legitimacy & will likely face Judicial Review challenges as well as protests from people who generally don’t because a proper, public, transparent process has been used. Stay away any company that values ‘social licence’. #slowtrack 🐸🌏

Exceptional results from the Housing First programme: just look at these outcomes! Good public policy – bipartisan in this case – isn't a cost, it's an investment. House people, provide wraparound services: voilà. rnz.co.nz/news/national/…

I'd be OK with an ex-CEO if they were smart, had empathy and realised running a country was very different to a business but otherwise I cannot disagree with this.

Speed limits should not be set by politicians. They should be set by engineers with data. I wish we could take safety decisions away from partisan politicians permanently.
After Warner Bros took various cost-cutting measures including turning movies into tax write-offs and refused to pay actors & writers for months, David Zaslav’s 2023 pay package is now at $49.7M, a 26.5% increase from 2022. (Source: wp.me/pc8uak-1lE1mC)

Chris Luxon: "You think you've got it tough, I'm the one who has to cut thousands of jobs & kick people off benefits and evict people from public housing. No one's doing it tougher than me."
I struggle to understand why Morning Report gives space to the so-called 'Taxpayer's Union' to come on and arrogantly argue for their longstanding imported culture war against public service. Can we not get some intelligent commentary about MP pay rises??
The number of young people not in education, employment or training jumped 17% annually. If the government genuinely believed in social investment it would be pulling out all the stops to reduce that number. Instead we are going backwards.
Unemployment data today from Stats NZ today shows a rise from 3.4% in March 2023 to 4.3% in March 2024. That's an extra 31,000 people unemployed - with the data showing the fastest rises for women, kaimahi Māori, and Pacific Peoples. The time to act is now. A 🧵
Horrifying. Has everyone lost the plot? So little attention either to the actual war in Gaza or all this? Some students being foolish seems minor compared to a nationwide crackdown on protest—in red states but not just. What rights will people miss under a Trump presidency?
Shocking footage shows several officers at Washington University St. Louis beating a professor, slamming him, and dragging his limp body. SIUE history professor Steve Tamari is reportedly hospitalized with broken ribs and a broken hand. One doctor told him he's lucky to be alive.
They threatened to arrest the dean of the school of journalism that hosts the PULITZER prizes & student journalists if they left PULITZER HALL to report on their own campus. Carry on, I guess? Maybe complain more about the students? The adults in charge of this can be ignored.
“I can confirm that I saw an NYPD officer duck his head into Pulitzer Hall…and he said, ‘If you come out one more time then you’re going to get arrested,’ — it was directed at a bunch of student journalists and faculty.” — student journalist on @WKCRFM just now.

@TRyanGregory 💯 Don't ever panic. V bad idea. But if someone is saying "There's no need to panic"... it's time to pay VERY close attention because you can be sure of two things: 1. Something concerning is happening; and 2. They do not intend to do anything about it until it's too late.
