So going to court to stop a Minister having a conversation with the Waitangi Tribunal, and also NO public consultation on policies that impact us all is - what - 'transparency'? If Labour were arrogant, what are you and yours?

They're ripping the fucking heart out of New Zealand & there's not a god damned thing we can do about it. NZ you were way too free & easy with your 'protest' vote, this is fucked @NZNationalParty First changes to Resource Management Act revealed rnz.co.nz/news/political…
No more obvious example of how poor public transport leads to poor land use than Melbourne Airport’s enormous car park. No train+bus that’s way too expensive means that just driving to the airport and paying for parking is the cheapest option for many.
It was always obvious that the new NZ Govt’s obsession with tax cuts would impact on frontline services. Now this: “Health NZ has ordered an end to double shifts & imposed new limitations on replacing sick staff in wards during the day to save money.”: rnz.co.nz/news/national/…
Coalition of bullies
A combination of a fundamental lack of understanding of public sector work and a fundamental lack of empathy is on display a lot at the moment.
Remarkable hypocrisy. The health comms team I worked with served around 650k members of the public. There were two part-timers running social media. They were communicating important messages to the public, not sharing morning skincare routines
Btw hats off to Waka Kotahi sorry NZTA for successfully persuading another govt to dig its way to an early grave. NZTA: the NZ Tunnels of Annihilation
This guy will post something intelligent and interesting and then something unhinged and abusive like this.

Wow $2k each a day for sitting on a government working group. About 8 times what we were paid when I was on one.
Not one environmental expert included in the advisory group. The whole fast-track process still feels like a ‘condition setting’ exercise for ministers to consent approvals. And a legal means to circumvent environmental protections. #waronnature rnz.co.nz/news/political…
How it started, how it's going?
Good.
Maybe we should have a referendum to decide whether ACT is allowed to stand for parliament After all, that's democracy, right
This really is a ridiculously petty move by the govt. Driven (literally) entirely by an anti-PT mindset than any genuine fiscal concern.

Handy chart here of the last ten presidents, the number of federal indictments of Administration officials each president had while in office, and then the average number of indictments per year. There's kind of a pattern here.

@BarughTyrone Big ups to JPs in general who often go out of their way to help my clients complete urgent affidavits. Just last week I managed to find one in a small town with less than an hour's notice. The guy was so good about it too.
Crown Law, under a sustained hail of bullets, deploying fine constitutional distinctions to only just get the summons quashed: It’s not the Minister deciding to pursue repeal of s 7AA, it’s Cabinet, so leave the Minister alone. The ACT Party: Karen! Karen! Karen!
BREAKING: Karen Chhour wins in the High Court against the Waitangi Tribunal. Karen, as Children’s Minister, is repealing section 7AA so Oranga Tamariki’s whole focus is on the wellbeing of children, not their race.
@GeorgeWeeks2014 @StuartBDonovan @DrDreHistorian The current layout of Queen St is just begging for light rail to be built and to be pedestrianised.
@StuartBDonovan @nuclearkiwik @DrDreHistorian Imagine Dominion Road with a streetscape like Sydney's George Street. The life! The footfall! The sheer attraction! It could have happened by now.
@publicaddress @Becs This is what happens without taking a long-term approach to infrastructure investment. This is not a surprise. The bridge had a short design life, with the premise that something better would replace it. Never rely on 'jam tomorrow'. It has a habit of being spread too thinly.
@StuartBDonovan I wish I could be. Light rail is dead in both Auckland and Wellington, Te Huia is going to die, the basis to revive anything else around the country is fading fast… it’s over, NZ is going to be one of the most car dependent and inaccessible advanced economies for decades
@StuartBDonovan The current government is so car-braned that I honestly think NZ's PT future is extremely bleak. I'm struggling to even summon the energy to continue participating in the space because I think it's just done, it's over
@StuartBDonovan Hmm... 1) NSW probably most extensive 2) Vic, I'm a fan of SRL 3) WA, good stuff under way rn but future pipeline not so hot 4) Qld, CRR and extending GC tram obviously good but some other stuff questionable 5) ACT, get on with light rail stage 2! 6) SA, lol 7) Tas, lmao
The irony of @DrShaneRetiMP extolling this plan while he simultaneously weighs in behind pro-tobacco legislation should be lost on nobody. Smoking is ruinously harmful in pregnancy. rnz.co.nz/news/political…
Quite a funny dynamic with the fast track bill where National goes around trying to sell it as vital for climate action only to keep getting undermined by one of the deciding ministers blurting out "I am going to buzzsaw a skink"
Minister is not telling whole truth here. Appraisal by panel is not same, because fast-track bill directs panel to give predominant weight to facilitating “delivery of infrastructure and development projects” etc, ahead of environment and other matters. nzherald.co.nz/nz/fast-track-…
@danniemedia I'm in favour of reducing the supply of junior lawyers for definitely selfless reasons
I’m so tired of this 🙃 Public Service Association slams Oranga Tamariki job cuts, accuses it of 'downgrading' commitment to Māori newshub.co.nz/home/new-zeala…
The reason almost every agency is cutting Māori teams is because they’ve been asked to find savings in areas that no longer align with the new govt’s priorities. Just yuck all around - from both the agencies (push back on racist ‘priorities’ ffs) and the govt encouraging this.
Telling. While every suburban reply-guy shouts about how the centre of Auckland is dying because it's too hard to drive through it, what's actually killing North Wharf hospo right now is a critical interruption to walking and cycling. nzherald.co.nz/business/wynya…
