    '#National’s 2023 mandate ... was a specific, time-bound trust: steady the #economic ship, ease the #cost of living, govern from a broadly centrist place. Three years later, National is ... asking voters to forget the record and judge them instead on a new set of promises. ...

    'The forgotten mandate of 2023

    'In 2023, New Zealanders didn’t vote for an ideological revolution. They voted for a change of management. National’s pitch was pragmatic and restrained: fix the basics, restore confidence, bring some relief to households battered by #inflation and instability.

    'That mandate ... was about #rent, groceries, power bills, #childcare, #wages, and making public services work.

    'Instead of anchoring the government in centrist economic stewardship, National traded that space away, ... to satisfy coalition partners with far sharper ideological agendas.

    'The pivot to culture wars and identity politics

    'Instead of spending its political capital on productivity and shared prosperity, the government spent much of its term fuelling divisive fights ....

    'A #Treaty Principles Bill, driven by ACT and enabled by National, tried to freeze a narrow, Crown-centric reading of Te Tiriti into law. It failed, but the process itself strained social cohesion ....

    'Moves to prioritise English-only branding and pare back te reo Māori in public-sector naming sent a clear message: bilingualism and #Māori visibility were now optional extras, not foundational commitments.

    'In education, “back to basics” rhetoric became a vehicle for rolling back more relational, inclusive approaches to education. ....

    'Trans and #gender diverse communities were ... dragged into the spotlight as ministers flirted with imported culture-war talking points, ....

    'None of this delivered cheaper rent, lower #grocery bills, or shorter #GP wait times. What it delivered was distraction, division, and a clear signal that marginalised communities were expendable

    '.....'

    As Americans face soaring #childcare cost, Alex Adams wants to loosen rules and tighten spending. Critics say it will harm #children and close #daycares
    He said Federal childcare regulations should “fit on an index card in my back pocket." Among his targets: sweeping overhaul in a generation for #HeadStart, which provides child care and #preschool to thousands of poorest children.

    " #EJFN replaces a typical volunteer structure by #compensating #workers using a #TimeBank model. #CityFolk offer their #labour to #farmers in the #network in return for time credits, which can be #redeemed at #FarmersMarkets to purchase the same quality produce that would go to grocery stores. The credits can also be #exchanged between members of the network for anything from #childcare to #SkillSharing "
