Labor’s 94-seat victory looked like a mandate for bold reform. But political scientists warn it was a broad, shallow landslide — built on preferences and a historically low primary vote. satpa.pe/Vw1qtoQ

Degrowth in action…
The amount of waste generated across New Zealand dropped sharply last year, alongside a lift in the national recycling rate, new data shows. But the waste industry says the improvement is mostly driven by a construction sector slump, not a shift in behaviour by households or businesses.

The experts just keep coming with their pesky reality checks. In a democracy those in power are supposed to listen... hmm doesn't look like much listening is occurring under their eyeful watch.

All of which is to say that if the Regulatory Standards Bill were actually about empowering people and protecting their rights vis-a-vis government rather than boosting the power of businesses big enough to lobby the Regulatory Standards Board, it should be addressing gaps in openness requirements.

In theory, that's great. In practice, those investigating still have a boss proven to be corrupt in this matter. While Brereton is still there, Robodebt victims will not see justice. I'll never forgive Dreyfus or Labor for purposely creating a toothless tiger

Given the NACC promise that none of those involved in the original decision will be involved in this investigation, by my count that leaves a single deputy commissioner (Kylie Kilgour) as the only person already serving who can do it.
