it's interesting how both parties voting to condemn socialism has only made it more popular? I wonder if there's a popular apocryphal quote ascribed to Gandhi about that....

For now, the Cabinet minister has poured water on rumours he could be eyeing up a leadership bid, but things change in politics.
Touted as future National leader, who is Chris Bishop?

To be explicit, we executed a German U-Boat commander who said he had to sink lifesaving gear / “inadvertently” kill survivors because it might give away his position, thereby potentially resulting in the loss of his submarine.
We executed multiple members of that crew.

Health NZ fails to get Employment Relations Authority to force senior doctors into contract amid pay dispute deadlock
Health NZ asked the Employment Relations Authority to "fix" the terms of the collective contract after negotiation repeatedly broke down.

For those that don't know what this is - the government suppressed this expert report on Clinical Guidelines for Transgender Health 24 hours before it was due to go out, and played politics with the lives of young transgender people.
You can now read the report in full.

The dominance of exports also means NZ famers are immune to local consumer pressure. Americans are their customers, not us. So they gouge and pollute, and tell us they don't care.
Time to use our votes to regulate them so they have to care. Limit exports, fix prices, and fuck the market.

The latter. We're committed to pay equity. We don't think the number calculated by the Nats is much use and we will have our own costing in due course.

This Bill could invalidate the votes of enough people to swing the next election in favour of the current government for no reason other than that they failed to fill out the correct piece of paper by the "proper" time (as defined by the people who benefit from the rule change).
Justice Committee recommends passing Electoral Amendment Bill with some amendments
The bill would prevent same-day enrolments, ban prisoners from voting, and tighten up the rules around treating.
