“A major new report has called for sweeping reform of New Zealand’s drug laws, warning punitive approaches are fuelling addiction, overdoses and inequality and leaving the country unprepared for the illicit drug market.”

As predicted, the meth con scam of the previous National Government is back again.💩🤬
This does NOTHING to address the reasons why there is a massive increase in methamphetamine use, or provide any assistance for people struggling with substance use issues.

As Nicky Hager details here, NZ is worryingly far more involved in planning with the US and UK for military attacks against China than previously revealed.

AoNZ should not be part of this!

Sat next to somebody in the Gallery who works under Karen Chhour.
He said it was difficult for him, but he had a duty to serve the Government of the day.
I thanked him for honouring his commitment to public service.✌️✊

Emily Writes
Also Nicola Willis MP I won’t forget how you sucked up to me at the library trying to say you weren’t right wing and you were a fan of my books. You wanted a selfie and I said no. You said you just wanted to make life better for children and now look at you? Calling anyone who tries to save the lives of kids a dog. I hope you’re ashamed of yourself. I knew then you were just another pick me power hungry social climber who would walk on the backs of innocent families to get what you want.

in 1840, Tangata Whenua singed a treaty with the British Crown making the Crown responsible for controlling the appalling drunken debauchery of British immigrants and the people producing alcohol.
I'd like to know when that's actually going to happen.😒

The Govt wants to cut Health NZ staff working on alcohol harm & end its research & social marketing campaigns. Sixty five organisations have signed an open letter to the PM, calling for alcohol industry to be excluded from policy making.
