"Definitions are important. In New Zealand law, consent has never been defined, which is mind-blowing, when you think about it.
...
This has meant, historically, that defence lawyers can fling all kinds of rape myths into the gap where a definition of consent should be.
...
It means the law will, finally, be clear. “If you didn’t say or do anything to say yes then that’s a no, and this shouldn’t have happened to you.” -

More than 40 cities and states have filed lawsuits against fossil fuel giants for climate-related damage.
The NZ govt is protecting polluters from us doing the same.

The Green Party of Aotearoa's manifesto 2026 is out in the world now, in case you are into that sort of thing.

Imo, there’s only one party in #Aotearoa #NewZealand that has the principles, morality and policies to address the problems facing #NZ.
The attempts by #NZMedia to try and create a rivalry between the #NZGreens and the Opportunist party was clearly shut down when it was pointed out TOP are campaigning to return the #NZPol Coalition of Corruption to power.

"National promises extended parental leave if re-elected"
Again, If National wanted to do this they are the current Govt and could do it NOW.
It costs nothing to make promises and then break them.

Hello from Australia @[email protected]: We're the largest users per capita of coal + diesel in the world with massive fossil fuel exports + world's largest coal port.
Renewables? What renewables? It's eugenics. Solar + batteries which is not going to the vulnerable.

Something like:
Greens: Let's pause and check there's water and no crocodiles in the pool before we dive in.
Luxon: That's alarmist.
Greens push to pause big data centre consents, PM calls it 'alarmist'

"The ACT Party wants to increase the health budget spend on Pharmac by one percent a year, to bring New Zealand in line with Australia and closer to the OECD average."
Tell me ACT got a drug company donations without telling me...

I think I just watched the worst #NZQ&A interview I have ever seen.
Tova O’Brien attempts to trip up #NZGreens co-leader Chloe Swarbrick on the need for a moratorium on #Ai centers plus fails spectacularly to defend the wealthy from paying taxes.
The comments also make for interesting reading with many commentators supporting the Greens for the first time.
This #NZPol election is going to be a turning point one way or another for #Aotearoa #NewZealand and I still hold hope it will be a turn for the better. 💚💚

Excellent interview with District Court Judge Anthony FitzGerald about the absolutely flawed “Move on” legislation being proposed by the #NZPol Coalition of Cruelty.
Homelessness is not a crime it’s a symptom of a failed government.

#NZpol I mean, they could afford to extend paid parental leave even more than 30 weeks, since so many more women are out of work now. Back in the kitchen!

"Questions asked after monsoon-like rains sweep Wellington"
Is one of those questions why the F**K are we building a LNG plant when solar could solve the issue BETTER?
Is another why this Govt is doing NOTHING but make climate change worse?

@rnzbot_political What a strange half-article to be headlining the #RNZ website, since it summarises ACT’s new policy without giving any historical context or conservationists’ views.
I accept that game animals like deer are a valued resource in NZ and there need to be places to hunt them. Still, that cannot be the whole country. There are plenty of well documented and often massive impacts that deer, goats, tahr, and chamois have on the native species they eat, and many of these species are threatened and declining.
ACT is proposing that the government funds that are currently used by the Department of Conservation to manage games animals while protecting biodiversity all be given to the Game Animal Council for managing game animals nationally.
I’m reminded of comedian Guy Williams’ New Zealand Today piece about tahr management. Tahr numbers ballooned under hunter-led management from the target national herd size of 10,000 to more than three times that. The Department of Conservation (in the previous government) had to step in and started culling tahr to bring their numbers back down, yet there was then an outcry from hunters.
Most of NZ’s conservation land needs to be managed primarily for conservation. It makes sense to do that in collaboration with the Game Animal Council, as is done now. ACT’s policy to flip this around sounds like a recipe for extinctions.
