Yet again, in almost any other NZ government a minister telling NZers to *eat less food* to save money would have them hounded by media and pushed out of politics.
Never forget the immensely important protective role that NZ media have played in protecting these fascists from public outrage.

#GinnyAnderson "Are wages keeping up with the cost of living when white bread has gone up 58.3% in the past year?"
#DavidSeymour "Consider wholemeal."
Ginny Anderson: "It's more expensive."
David Seymour: "Eat less."
You first, Scrooge McFuckFace. You first.

The PCO have quietly started demoing a new version of the Legislation website, now available at demo.legislation.govt.nz
As someone who scrapes different govt sites a lot, I welcome this change to better handling of the legislation, including the fact that bills are now in PlainText !

Today is the first day I was able to test if #nzpt has started working again for tracking #nzpol statistics. As far as I can tell, all is working with the urgency tracker.
In the coming weeks, an election 2026 web app will launch with vote compass, party breakdowns etc.

Parliament sits again next week after their 39 day summer break.
NZPT will be monitoring the urgency as usual and will begin to update daily again (pending today’s parliament website changed).

Small NZPT update for you all:
Hoping to have a fix out by Friday that will make scraping more consistent.
The parliament website has become very anti-bot and obviously NZPT is just a bot that reads the daily progress in the house.
All should be fixed by the time the house resumes!

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

I am sure it is a coincidence, however a recent change to the Parliament website has blocked the calls that tools like NZPT use to get the information from the website. Currently this means urgency will be weekly-updates as a result.

actually insane that in five years we have gone from “everyone hates pedophiles and rapists regardless of political affiliation, race, gender, etc.” to it being a “left-wing dog-whistle”.

The much requested Urgency Comparisons for the last 7 New Zealand Parliaments is now available on nzpt.cjs.nz.
Last major change for this #nzpol tool until the New Political Year (Jan 27th).
Going to add other tools to the site at some point, so still open to any suggestions!

Update for those interested:
The number I used was incorrect and the actual total bills for current parliament is 177, meaning percentage of bills is 58.76% 😬

Yesterday I posted about my new web tracker of how often the parliament has gone into Urgency this term. #nzpol seemed to appreciate it and this evening I added a way to see the percentage of bills passed under urgency by each parliament.
The results are interesting!

Finally found a way to accurately count the amount of Bills the current parliament has considered (as opposed to using other sources and estimating).

A lot of kiwis have felt uncomfortable about where our democracy is headed, despite the claims of the Govt that they are about evidence based policies and better quality regulation.
@cjs.nz takes it further and provides evidence that we are loosing our democratic rights. It's nice work

I’ve added the past two parliaments to nzpt.cjs.nz/historical
Unfortunately older data isn’t available as readily, but I’ll work on it.
I’m also going to add ratios (Total bills considered vs bills under urgency) for each Parliament to help paint a better picture

You can also see the 104 bills that were put under urgency in one place now (nzpt.cjs.nz/bills).
All these bills had at least one stage put through under urgency.
