Notice 2020-2023 during an unprecedented global killer pandemic, they passed necessary bills under urgency at a rate of 29.09%
Now that ratio is 57.14%…AND WHY???? This is an abuse of office & of our so called Democracy, imho. 🤨 #nzpol #OneTermGovernment

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!

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

Primary principals warn new year-by-year curriculum won't work for mixed-level classes
The Principals Federation says most schools have at least some multi-level classrooms and it would take a much larger workforce to avoid that.

At no point in time in the book do I give a debt-to-GDP limit recommendation - I just point out the Treasury analysis and other interpretations. Could Nicola Willis please correct the record?

#nzpol In the house today, Nicola Willis said that in my recent book I thought the debt limit for the government should be 80-90% of GDP. As is clear in the book - that is the Treasury's position, not mine. See P.14 of www.treasury.govt.nz/sites/defaul...

NZ Govt want to hide forthcoming health failures by dropping data collection, collation and publication. Like when former NZ Nat Health Minister dropped Hospital Waiting Lists. If people can't measure failure, does it exist?
Not counting flu cases? What data will be erased next?

Now that it's public: RIP FluTracking, which I understand only cost $50k per year to administer, yet provided incredibly valuable and irreplaceable information on levels of influenza-like-illness.
What an utterly dim decision.

#nzpol HYEFU data today showed that unemployment is forecast to stay much higher than forecast by Treasury at the last election. There will be 76,000 more people on jobseekers by 2027. Wages going up by less every year than forecast at the last election.

#nzpol Just catching up with the HYEFU data today - but the data looks grim pretty much across the board. One data point stood out to me - the economy will be cumulatively $28.3bn smaller at the next election than predicted by Treasury at the last election.

The Luxon Govt’s rewrite of the RMA laws allows companies to claim financial compensation (from taxpayers) when councils introduce rules to limit pollution or protect the environment.
