#nzpol Do you feel back on track yet?
MSD have been delaying their December benefits data release due to data processing issues but they shared headline numbers yesterday. If the data is correct, this is a huuuge increase. We now have nearly 1 in 7 adults on a working age benefit. Link in ALT. (🧵 1/n)

I mean, how hard is it for Brian Roche to get to his desk at the Public Service Commission tomorrow morning and to send out a memo by 9 am to all departmental & agency CEs that they should delete their organisation’s accounts on X by the end of the day? Remove all the links to X from their websites.
“In New Zealand, X holds just over 6% of the social media market, so it’s now a platform with barely a sliver of reach.”
Not even wide use by the NZ public, so definitely no good reason for government agencies or politicians to be on a CSAM and racism-spewing site.
PSC should get agencies off it.

Seems to me that is the pattern with right-wing governments.
For them, [their] property rights always trump the lives of others.
Another example is workplace health & safety - workers lives vs business rights to profits.
See also consumer protection.
They always put things ahead of people.

John Key and his government made Peter Thiel an NZ citizen and bent the rules to do it. Talk about captured. #nzpol

Zohran Mamdani is planning to open Government run Grocery Stores in New York that will sell goods at up to 25% less than the ripoff supermarkets.

Excellent article from Andrea Vance today - few quotes
"There is a weak argument (usually put forward by white men, those least likely to suffer abuse online) that staying on X somehow moderates the awful. You can’t dilute a cesspool."

Every official tweet is a nod to child abuse
OPINION: Why is a social network under criminal investigation for child sex abuse material treated as a legitimate podium for government messaging?

New Zealand citizen Peter Thiel.
This is an immensely significant document that continues to get virtually no attention in US media—but lots abroad. In Jul 2015, Epstein arranged a meeting between a known highest-level Russian intel operative, Sergey Belyakov and Peter Thiel,
