rushed through a month after they lost re this exact issue in the high court btw - www.justice.govt.nz/jdo_document...

it seems some think if they don’t like it when the law says to support our country’s most vulnerable, they can just change it real quick by making stuff up and blaming survivors 🤪

Flooding is generally human induced rather than a pure ‘natural disaster’ (water just follows gravity and geography). The design and engineering problems are well understood. It’s the political economy that is blocking adaptation.

This drastically conflicts with ‘free market’ open season on semi rural land aquisition where suburban tract homebuilders can just bulldoze through wetlands and plop asphalt on top, with stormwater managed with small pipes according to late 20th C estimates of rainfall.

"Pacing in the Real World"

Another blogpost I liked a lot by this OT who specialises in ME/CFS & long Covid.

Contains lots of practical tips. As she says, an emphasis is harm reduction rather than perfection

Given the use of GenAI among political parties and all that entails, your periodic reminder that we have an Open Letter signed by over 20 AI experts calling on AI regulation. So far only the Green Party has committed to this. Please share among your networks and sign if you haven't already #nzpol
We’ve published an Open Letter calling on NZ leaders to deliver risk-based AI regulation & a national oversight body. AI has huge potential, but harms (deepfakes, gendered abuse, bias) are real and rising. Read the Letter (and sign it if you agree!) #nzpol

So, we've a boil-water notice in Christchurch. Sewerage being blown inland from the South Wellington coastline, and deadly floods in the King Country?

These must be the three waters they warned us about.

Please consider submitting INDIVIDUALLY ⬇️ as your sub will carry much more weight. It takes minutes.
A bulk submission is better than absolutely nothing at all, however. It allows the organisation to gather your data, course. This is not a bad thing, or a criticism, but it is a thing.
