Scrapping #BSA first step to opening Pandora's Box #NZ

David Seymour's new Ministry of Regulation cost ~$20 million every single year - that's $200 million over a decade & 4 times bigger than the Productivity Commission Seymour was also given $153 million for private schools which he gave to Jamie Beaton, John Key & FSU's Jonathan Ayling etc

How a coordinated far-right network — The Platform, NZ First, ACT, Free Speech Union — took down NZ's only media regulator with statutory teeth. An excellent article by Mohan Dutta, who is frequently attacked by the alt right in NZ: culture-centered.blogspot.com/2026/05/how-... #nzpol #auspol

Ani O'Brien tries to justify National Party hit as media's sweet desserts. Media hold public figures to account. 4th estate is key to safeguarding democracy & public interest scrutiny. A private spat at drink, apologised for immediately & accepted, doesn't meet standard of care

National speed running economic crash & private tech displacement in NZ: "We're going to bring AI and digitisation to the public sector like private businesses are doing"

This guy, the PM of NZ, just can't answer a question - nor can he bring himself "down" to say he feels for the young despite 25% youth unemployment, 23% underutilisation & ~15% NEET rate #nzpol

Hey Pak n'Save, good news, you don't need any one in the back rooms stacking or counting inventory or checking quality or scheduling transport. You can all be replaced with AI and we only need a greeter at the front door and a few stackers - you know, the "front office"

Winston Peters tells Heather du-Plessis this govt will cancel 1-2 year youth education & work support - a hallmark of Labour It comes as youth unemployment hits 25% & youths not in education & training is now the highest in 20 years An expensive & short sighted "saving" & cut

Winston Trump ladies and gentlemen - lie & deny Auckland Council doubling is on record & well reported. A Councillor confirmed they reduced social housing accommodation in from 890 places to 39 in one year, and cut social home grants by 70-80% - resulting in doubling. Even Luxon/Bishop didn't deny

Labour's Vanushi Walters has a double Law degree from #Auckland Uni & Masters in International Human Rights Law from #Oxford And it shows Credible person & the points she raises aren't surprising esp. given Luxon wanted to publicly side with the US on Iran & Winston tried to kiss Trump's ring

Ahead of the CND conference on Sunday, it’s worth asking how “independent” Britain’s nuclear deterrent really is. If Trident relies on US missiles, software and refurbishment, can we truly claim national control?
