Concerning that there could be funding cuts at the National Emergency Management Agency. This in the same week that a major report recommends properly resourcing NEMA so New Zealand is as prepared as it can be for the next natural disaster rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
'Serious crisis': Health NZ directs hospitals to restrict roles, limit overtime in frontline freeze dlvr.it/T5jVwc
Such a distressing time for many public servants facing job losses. Please know: this is not about you, it’s not a reflection on the work you do or the contribution you have made. It’s about the Government’s heartless and chaotic approach to cutting public services x
My thoughts are with everyone affected by the tragedy unfolding in Bondi. I know a lot of Kiwis live in that area. Sending aroha from this side of the Tasman.
Workplace H&S is a big issue for NZ because we aren't very good. Even excluding Whakaari, NZ workplace fatality rate in the last decade is 2.8x higher than Australia. If we matched Australia, 280 people would still be alive. Not killing people isn't reactionary. @NZQandA

It’s difficult to come to any other conclusion from this analysis that this government is out of touch with the realities of workers on the Minimum Wage. Low-income and vulnerable workers need to be protected from changes such as this. We all pay for failing to make work pay.
It's important to understand that this isn’t an accident. The government has made a choice. Its chosen to set the Minimum Wage at a level that will make people poorer in real terms. Its chosen to make tackling child poverty harder. Its choice won’t tackle inflation or save jobs.
Unfortunately including one of the largest real term reductions to the minimum wage on record.

Parliament's decisions affect all New Zealanders. Have your say and influence the laws passed by Parliament - get involved by making a submission. Read the bills currently before Parliament: bit.ly/48VWayl
Great to be able to talk about my Bill that would allow NZders to talk about their own salary and wages without fear of repercussions. I hope this simple change will lead to greater transparency and fairness.

Delighted to have my Member’s Bill drawn from the ballot today. This Bill will increase transparency around pay and help to prevent pay discrimination.

Good on E tū and their members for highlighting the key work our journalists do telling our stories and holding the powerful to account. The proposed cuts are concerning and employees have an important voice which needs to be heard .

Fast track (economic Ministers decide on projects avoiding normal environment protections) bill has landed but the projects are missing - no confirmation that select committee public process will apply to these projects 🤔 #crazyexecutivepower
The government’s claim we “can’t afford” to continue with the free and healthy school lunches programme rings a bit hollow given their decision to prioritize tax breaks for mega landlords. School lunches are affordable, the National govt is choosing to prioritise other things.
Seeing a few comments on this. We (@nzlabour) put up an amendment to extend the report back date by another month but it was voted down by the Coalition Government.

This government is taking New Zealand backwards. The Science City initiative would have driven innovation and economic growth in Wellington. These cuts to fund tax cuts are short sighted.

NZ Govt to raise minimum wage by 2% from $22.70 to $23.15 - the smallest increase in a decade. Van Velden recommended 1.3%, MBIE wanted 4%

Exactly. The Government has delivered a wage cut in real terms to our lowest paid workers during a cost of living crisis.

Embarrassing for both ministers. Melissa Lee has been Nats' broadcasting spokesperson since after 2017 election. Incredible she wasn't ready for govt. Penny Simmonds doesn't have much to do in Environment bc govt has put most responsibility with Bishop's RMA reform portfolio.
The Three Strikes Legislation lacks evidence. The arguments made for the legislation so far are that it will prevent offending - by acting as a deterrent and will encourage rehabilitation - by putting people in prison. There is no evidence to support this.
Judges should be left to make decisions that take into account all of the circumstances of the offending, the offender and the impact on the victim.
Three strikes did not reduce serious offending, and instead it resulted in severe distortions in sentencing third strike offenders.

Hi! Welcome to The Tortured Poets Department! Have you joined the union yet? join.unison.org.uk
In 2010 the whole of the public sector made up 19.7% of NZ’s total workforce. In 2023 it made up 18.8%. Claims there has been an explosion in the public sector are pure spin to justify sacking hard working Kiwis to pay for unaffordable tax cuts. This govt has the wrong priorities
Such a distressing time for many public servants facing job losses. Please know: this is not about you, it’s not a reflection on the work you do or the contribution you have made. It’s about the Government’s heartless and chaotic approach to cutting public services x
Devastating news for staff working with some of our most vulnerable children today. The people losing their jobs at Oranga Tamariki and the Ministry of Education do amazing work. They have homes and families too. Once again we see how wrong this government’s priorities are.
Thank you labour government and partners. An amazing, world class response to COVID.
