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!

The Reddit post linked in the thread provides some tips (but some slightly wrong things too...). The key is to say (1) they are asking for punative damages, which are not ok under NZ contract law, and (2) you dispute that you owe anything let alone the amount they demand.

The result is that can't refer it to debt collector if the "debt" is disputed, and they have to initiate legal action for a ruling that it is owed if they want to recover it. They never commence proceedings, because they risk getting a court decision that says their whole business model is illegal.

#nzpol Just think of how many healthy school lunches could have been bought with the money wasted on processing ACT's terrible bills. And/or hip operations, or senior doctor's pay rises, or disability designed houses, or... te reo classes for Chris Luxon. 🧐

Whenever NZers have an option to say publicly that they don't believe in what this government is doing to Māori, there are more on the side of right than the side of wrong
- more people voted for Māori wards than against them
- more schools decided to give effect to Te Tiriti than did not
