@zl2tod @rnzbot_nz Yes, ACT is pretty clear about their motivations. Lax campaign finance laws aside, I'm OK with them expressing their views. That's politics.
It's the media coverage, even by RNZ, that's surprising me. In this case, it's like if ACT announced a policy to abolish all public health funding and the media just reported it without any mention of what impact that would have on the country.

@rnzbot_nz I don't understand how it is that this RNZ news article just presents ACT's new business unicorn fairyland climate "policy" as is, without strongly emphasising how bat-shit crazily irresponsible and dangerous it is.
Have they heard of a thing called science?

David Seymour would hate for anyone to boost this report of Seymour's influences especially during an election.
Think before you boost.

Gawd it's nice hearing politicians who, know what they're talking about, have the research to back it up, answer the question asked.

Coalition policy:
Try to bribe, using taxpayers money, another private supermarket chain.
What are the odds that will mean cheaper prices?
Green Policy:
A Govt owned supermarket to provide low cost food.

Communism is when people can afford food, apparently. 🤷

What this headline SHOULD say is
"ACT announces it will violate the majority of our trade agreements"

The ACT Party’s climate policy is idiotic and deceitful.
NZ’s pledge to halve emissions by 2030 was already insufficient and then further weakened by accounting tricks, rollbacks, and a relaxed methane target.
Independent ratings do NOT see NZ as more ambitious than other countries.
It's blatant climate denial.

Notable that the Opportunity Party just ran the industry’s line that “technology will save us” when the evidence is that it won’t.

Brilliant policy announcement from #NZGreens regarding state owned supermarkets #KiwiMart to supply fresh food etc at a lower margin than the current supermarket duopoly profiteering from NZers and increasing poverty in our communities.
One of the big pluses for this policy is it will provide a market for local farmers, growers and food suppliers that are currently been cut out of the market by the duopoly importing cheap foreign grown food to increase supermarket profit margins.
I see a lot of comments accusing the Green's of stealing #Mamdani policy but hey if you're gonna steal policy off another politician Mamdani is probably a good place to start.

@rnzbot_political So, one of the political parties in NZ’s coalition government that pushed the NZ economy into a recession, drove up unemployment rates, and sent young people overseas looking for better paid jobs, is now campaigning on needing to mine and quarry NZ’s conservation land to make jobs.
Be sure to vote this year.
“New Zealand's labour force hasn't grown in the past 12 months, but you wouldn't know that by looking at its unemployment rate. Thousands of Kiwis have left their country for Australia, and others have become disenchanted by the job search and given up looking for work. If those people had stayed in NZ, and were counted among the unemployed, NZ's unemployment rate would be much higher. It's a very different story in Australia.”

Heard all the excuses:
"You've taken it out of context"
"There were other flags"And yet we can plainly see that it's a bunch of white people in New Zealand hanging under the confederate flag, around a shock-jock who spent his tenure promoting anti-Maori sentiment.
They're getting together, not to figure out how to make living costs more affordable, or fix transport and healthcare, oh no, the singular issue on the agenda, is all around how to further disenfranchise Maori and limit their sovereignty via te tiriti, so they can cut up more of the land for foreign-owned real estate, that leaves everyone else worse off, with ever increasing rents and rates, because they have no imagination or vision on how to diversify our economy beyond tourism, farming and property speculation.
The "stop making it about race" crowd, are too dense and entitled to have the self-awareness that they are literally on a south Pacific island nation, with one of the largest pasifika diaspora in the world, engaging in politics that centre European descendants as "victims" of whatever flavour "woke" they're offended by this week, instead of recognising that they are beneficiaries of colonial destruction and having accountability for the cultural demise and real suffering experienced by minorities under this system; a system that constantly shifts the goal posts, with stagnant wages, inflation and a practical enslavement to the fossil fuel industry and American military industrial complex.
We keep calling them out, yet any suggestion to approach things differently to the status quo is immediately viewed as hostile to pakeha, rather than a recognition that repeating the same thing over and over expecting different results is the text-book definition of insanity.
We are a Maori-first nation, a Pacific island nation, there is zero justification for trying to import American confederate era rhetoric here, unless you are a brainwashed, conspiracy-addled xenophobe, which THEY ARE! #nzpol

The Luxon Government has retained the clause in its Conservation Amendment Bill, which undermines the very purpose of conservation law.
This Trumpian bill undermines the fundamental principle that conservation land exists to be protected, not exploited.

CW: A little bit sweary
Every time we go to Wellington and walk around the central city, amongst all the older buildings, public art and sculpture and metal things, some of which make no sense to me at all, but all of it makes it a properly lovely place to be. Even when it's not one of those days that you can't beat Wellington, it's still a bloody lovely place to be, even with the wind chill, we love it all.
And then these ACT morons want to stop money being spent to make the places we live not a shithole?
Please vote those fuckers out. They have no soul or heart, every last one of them. They are in it for themselves and not for you

@jeremy_pm I had this discussion all the way back when I was at Auckland Uni (many years ago)
Yes they get an advantage in getting a place to study medicine, but that is IT they need the exact same skills marks to qualify.
IF Seymour thinks people are being denied the opportunity to be in medical courses who should be there RAISE THE NUMBER OF PLACES

I made the mistake of listening to #RNZ Midday Report today.
The first story was David Seymour saying he was determined to end the allocation of spaces at #NZ Medical Schools for Māori and Polynesian medical students as these, according to Seymour, were giving an advantage to students due to their race. He managed to get a study done into the practice of increasing the number of Māori and Polynesian doctors to serve their communities under the coalition agreement but didn’t agree with its findings which support the practice.
He disagreed that a similar approach to offering places at medical school for rural students was the same thing as apparently it is not based on ethnicity.
The next story was David Seymour supporting MDMA treatment for victims of PTSD. I have no idea what the story after that was as I had switched off my radio by then. #NZPol

What a dull, polluted, tolled every where World ACT imagines.
I've put a screen shot because I don't want to encourage RNZ to continue to give ACT more coverage (unless it's negative) than ANY OTHER PARTY
