CW: NZPol Healthy Homes vs No Fault Evictions
"...research backs this up. The less secure a tenancy is, the more likely the tenant is to avoid raising housing quality issues. Due to the inverse housing law, tenants who are in the least secure positions to complain about housing quality are also those most likely to live in properties that require urgent maintenance or don’t meet minimum standards."

CW: NZPol Lack of policing
"Despite assurances to “let us know if there’s anything we can do,” my questions about how police respond – or don’t – to threats at community events were sent to the OIA department. When I got responses, they were disappointing.
...
If you can’t rely on police to turn up when literal neo-Nazis storm your event, it’s difficult to ensure your attendees and performers are safe." -
"But, as for many, the sweet taste of social progress turned to ashes in my mouth. An economic crisis became the pretext for an ideological blitzkrieg that tried to impose a commercial model on almost every facet of our nation’s life. Change was needed, but by God we paid the price in terms of poverty, inequality, loss of productive capacity in our firms, and damaged generations. We are still paying."

But we can't legalise recreational supply of cannabis, think of the children! Oh wait...
"Education campaigns may be partly responsible for young people delaying experimenting with the drug with the most recent Canadian Cannabis Survey showing that the average age of starting cannabis use went up from 18.9 years in 2018 to 20.8 years in 2023."

"The ECA massively deregulated the labour market, and can be seen as part of a continuum of [Rogernomics] reforms started by the previous Labour government...
The ECA swept away the system of “national awards” that had previously governed employment. Under the awards, whole industries would have the same baseline pay and conditions, which were hammered out every year by union and employer representatives."

CW: NZPol Waitangi Tribunal
"Doogan, therefore, set the date for the summons as April 26 to allow time for the Crown to test these issues in the High Court (in a hearing scheduled to take place today) ... Far from being evidence of a tribunal running amok and overstepping its authority, these proceedings appear to be the very model of careful and reasonable decision-making, with due regard and deference to the constitutional relationships at play."

CW: NZPol Treatment of veterans
Content warning: PTSD, ChCh earthquakes
"But my experience as a contemporary veteran suffering from service-related injury has been rather different. It has taken me nearly a decade to obtain meaningful support from Veterans’ Affairs, despite serving on deployments to East Timor and the Solomon Islands, as well as the NZDF’s response to the Christchurch earthquakes.

"... [Steve Tindall of Group M] 'says this culture grew out of the... much-awarded piece of work credited with helping New Zealand execute its elimination strategy. It eventually gave way to a major vaccination campaign, which also had a clear purpose to it... the success of those campaigns led to a mission creep, with mass market advertising or communications seen as a valid path for a larger array of government communications strategies."

CW: NZPol worker protection
"... amounts owed to employees are paid out after liquidation costs have been sorted – and only if there is any money left from the failed business. There is also a cap on what each employee can claim – currently set at $25,480 – regardless of what they are owed.
...
New Zealand’s approach to protecting workers compares badly to other countries, where government schemes bolster the protections for unpaid employee debts." -
