Bhahahahaha – it’s going cost us more you muppets!
ACC warns Brooke van Velden: Your reforms will cost us more in payouts
Proposed changes to health and safety laws would likely see an increase in musculoskeletal injuries as well as slips, trips, and falls, warns ACC – meaning it would have to fork out more to pay for treatments
So this entire exercise in giving the Bosses a cuddle, (because apparently Worksafe terrorises them) is going to actually cost us more?
You all can’t be this stupid right?
There was a fascinating exchange between Jack Tame and Brooke Van Velden on Q+A over the weekend that actually deserves and demands closer inspection because it really does illuminate what ACT are truly are all about.
Brooke was fatuously claiming that Bosses are so frightened by WorkSafe that they dare not dream ever again in colour for fear of persecution, and because of this culture of fear, she was changing WorkSafe from punishment to cuddles (despite 70 people a year dying on the job plus almost a thousand who die from their work environments).
Her argument is that if we cuddle the bosses and provide carrots, the fear of sanction will lift and a workers utopia where family members can expect their loved ones to return safely from word each night will flourish.
Yet, as Jack so eloquently put to Brooke, ACT have pushed for vast punishment sanctions against beneficiaries, beneficiaries with children and state house tenants so why does the sanction and punishment system work for the poor, but ACT are changing it for the bosses?
When it’s the Bosses, it’s all cuddle and carrots, yet when it’s the poor, the beneficiaries, the disabled, the state tenants – it’s all punishment and sticks?
Why is the culture of fear acceptable for the poor, but not the bosses?
ACT is a far right fringe libertarian cult who have manipulated culture war talking points to create a facade of free speech liberalism when they are the same old jack boot of the Billionaire club stamping on the face of the poor they’ve always been.

The whole ACT Party are a waste of taxpayer’s money…
What this cotere of clowns have stolen off the taxpayer, via corrupting the political system to gain power, far exceeds anything that they have enacted that would benefit the taxpayer or society
as a whole.
What a useless rag tag bunch of ignorant ticket clipping muppets..
Their ill conceived reckons will end
up causing more death , more injury , more hardship, and…perish the thought from their tiny weeny minds…more money.
Seymour and co. are about as savvy as the plastic pack ‘n’ save sausages they want serve our kids … Nutrionless policy is what they do and for that they steal $ 300,000 a year each from the hard working taxpayer of N.Z….
It’s got to be the biggest tax rort going
It’s hard to deal with hubristic
stupidy at such a high level of in comptence, but there appears to be a dim light shining at the end of tunnel.
Despite pouring millions into their ‘brand’, and wasting most or their time on social media, ACT’s voter base diminishes by the
day .
The MAGA (Make Aotearoa
Great Again) crowd are slowly waking up to the fact they have been had..
Their hatefilled reveries and weird kinky desire to be supporting two naive 40 year old virgins,
is, in fact, costing them ….eeeeeekkk …m.o.n.e.y..
‘ACT in Government is what you get for repeatedly kicking licenced firearms owners. Own it.’
Oh My God!
I have been so wrong!
All this time I thought ACT + NZ First in government is because Luxon is piss-poor at negotiating with junior coalition parties and just gives them what they want to make them quiet.
Really it’s because people are not allowed weapons capable of killing twenty people in a few seconds.
If they can have their toys they will not vote for act.
Thank you for making it clear Dave.
(I hunt. Like my father, and grandfather I take the old single shot and three rounds in my pocket, we never needed anything else, cannot understand people who do but there you go. No use arguing with people who want to shoot you).
No need to wonder about voter stupidity Dave McCain has proved it again
Yip Clive …that is your classic arrested development ACT voter right there. …
Would rather have Road, Construction and Forestry workers killed, but don’t take my weapons of mass destruction off me!
Brooke is taking a massive risk here that she hasn’t thought through. So when a young mum or dad dies cos of her reforms, who’s to blame?
Wait a minute, she is the fall guy for the pay equity as well.
Seymour is using her.
BVV doesn’t come across as the brightest bulb on the xmas tree, so it stands to reason she would be the perfect “yes” girl. Thing is, she seems perfectly happy with her role.
ACT happy to kill a worker a day because they have no other plan to get to full employment .
