I find it very interesting in light of the allegations on Q&A, that Coster alleges Baggot knew about McS when official records show she did not. Coster was plausible in Q&A until the point he criticised Richard Chambers for his actions in blowing this wide open.Seems like random finger pointing now.

I think he does. He thinks we’ll believe what he says rather than the evidence of our lives. Just like Willis announcing she’s done nothing about ferries, is handing the job over to Winston, and proudly states “I’ve delivered”. How stupid do they think we are?

The direction USA is taking has strengthened the far right in other countries - here in NZ for example - and now we are all fighting for the existence of our indigenous people, LGBQ+ people, and for safety nets for the poor and marginalised. A corner has been turned, and we fear the direction ahead

Yes! I used that in my submission on the regulatory standards, stating that it was egregious to have a bill which basically put act’s party policy into law when the party only got 8% of the vote

David does this Bill give the power to make deductions from pay for hours that are usually worked outside the contracted hours but are being withdrawn during negotiations? That is, if I’m paid to work 9am-5pm, but usually work till 5:30 or 6 and withdraw my labour after 5, I can be penalised?

Thank you very much for that! I will do that this morning. And if anyone wants to see the key recommendations of the welfare expert group, here is a link to that. Even just mentioning them in your submission or referring to them by number might be helpful. www.weag.govt.nz/weag-report/...

Thank you very much for that Mike. It was on my list of things to do but I knew I needed to do a bit of reading. Your blog made it intelligible! I did still find the submission process slightly daunting, but put my big girl pants on and have submitted. So thank you
