The flip side of @nzherald spin: Government lacks depth in talent & experience to solve complex problems. PM struggles to pick the right team & lead effectively. But hey, spinners will spin. 🫢
Of close to 100 organisations recently surveyed by ACE New Zealand and Water New Zealand, two thirds reported they’d had water contracts paused, deferred or cancelled in the last six months... the same is happening in transport and residential development newsroom.co.nz/2024/04/26/the…
I'm sure we'll see more and more assurances that this is fine. No need to "panic" (i.e., demand that authorities do anything). cbc.ca/news/health/h5…

You need to think long and hard about this basic truth @ShaneJones_MP and others. Sort your collective sh*t out.

In 2011 we published research from previous years which showed significant national increase in a range of patient harms directly related to (austerity driven) reductions in RN staffing. The consequences of cuts now, in a far less robust environment, don’t bear thinking about.
Remember when Michael Wood didn't declare some airport shares that were scarcely a conflict of interest, but resigned over the matter? This is 55,000 times worse than that. Jones has got to go.

Something to reflect on @chrisluxonmp @cjsbishop @SimeonBrownMP @mangonui08 when considering plans to damage NZ’s ocean floor. The highest court in Scotland ruling that Govt has a responsibility to protect the seabed from destructive fishing.

NZ must force an Election before we see families begging and homeless after working hard to live. Rapidly growing number of New Zealanders fearful about where their next meal is coming from. Job cuts and high rents a disaster.
Will be interesting to compare the number of wind farm companies the government wrote to on the Fast Track Approvals Bill with the number of mining companies written to.
