Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

Well, I’ve been made redundant. The literal mum and dad company I worked for, and loved working for, has had so little business recently that they’ve had to let go of a quarter of their staff.

This is a direct result of the government intentionally or incompetently crashing the economy.

My nephew is dyslexic and his high school offers an alternative learning track for students like him.
My sister called the school yesterday to confirm she'd like him enrolled in that programme and was told it might not be available next year because the new curriculum doesn't include it. 😱😱

Todd McClay talking with a tangled tongue trying to use semantics to lie his way out of answering questions. The British High Commission is the representative for the UK government here to the NZ government. If they have raised it, that's official.

This government will lie about everything #nzpol

I can't think of any better way for a regime to completely destroy its own credibility than to announce that it will campaign against its own legislative program, and repeal a law it has just spent two years passing.

Hang on, is this about NZ or the USA?
This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

This is government for the benefit of big polluters. While excluding the public, Shane Jones and his advisors repeatedly consulted the oil and gas industry, resulting in a new decommissioning regime that shifts the risk back to taxpayers. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...
How the oil and gas industry helped rewrite New Zealand’s drilling rules
A paper trail shows just how far ministers went to accommodate the industry's wishlist, including giving it access to draft laws.
