Wait, wait, wait.
WHAT?
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?
How much further does ACT have to bend over backwards for the Bosses?
Brooke has already given them powers against Unions, destroyed Pay Equity and just announced Worksafe would give the Bosses cuddles rather than you know, safe workplace enforcement.
Now we get told that the boss cuddling is going to also cost us more because it will lead to less safe environments that will increase ACC claims?
Brooke says that Worksafe terrorises Bosses and if Worksafe gave Bosses cuddles instead, then the bosses would shyly open up about what a death trap their workplace is and gentle transformation will occur to create the workers utopia
But why do the Bosses get cuddles while the poor get the bash?
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?
Oh and it’s going to cost us more.
When it’s the Bosses, it’s all cuddle and carrots plus more taxpayer money, yet when it’s the poor, the beneficiaries, the disabled, the state tenants – it’s all punishment and sticks at any price?
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, while we pick up the tab for the shoe polish.

Happy Days.

WTF is Brook on about? Anyone got a picture of these road cones she keeps blasting about.
She hasn’t got practical bone in her body….or intellectual for that matter.
And critical thinking ability doesn’t even register on the radar.
How can someone who is so impractical and lacking any real world knowledge be in charge of these portfolios..
Anyone would be forgiven for thinking that she’d gained access to power through the back door by some dodgy corruption deal of the mmp electoral system.
Oh…but wait..
“Hey cool sick-leave entitlement you’ve got there. Be a real shame if someone cut it in half”
They will keep coming for our pay and conditions. Don’t let these ideological creeps back for a second term.
ACT are are the National party frontline attack dogs, their job is to come up with stupid ideas that create diversions that National can hide behind while implementing their own dumb ideas. They share voters to keep up the charade. Not hard to fool some Kiwis it seems.
Brooke has ‘seen some advice’ but disagrees with it. I guess that what she ‘reckons’ is just as good as some fully costed analysis from ACC.
Being ideologically driven she will never accept advice from experts. She’s scared of experts. Won’t talk to unions. That makes her unprofessional, a total amateur.
She’s at the mercy of lobbyists and corporations, therefore unable to do her job for the benefit of her constituents.
None of them are in parliament for the correct reasons. They are intentionally cruel. They do not deserve their pay. Fire them all.
Yes 100%, Joy.
I’ve said it before, Brooke is a slut to the corporates, there is no way to sugar coat this, sick pay, pay equity and yes you are all right, annual leave will be next! Hardly surprising we are seeing a mass exodus to Australia.
This CoC has created something of which the likes we have never seen before, the working poor…

If the working poor vote at the next election, this CoC will be gone by Monday and will never be seen again.
This is the problem with ideological purity = stupid.
Just another trained politician thats only ever ‘worked’ in the beltway. Never had a real job or run a business, farm or factory.
As a nation how do we end up with a ruler whose non qualification for the job is economic theology and lobbying.
Luxon did sell deodorant for Unilever in the States so he knows about white washing
Covering up the stench of corruption, you reckon, Clive.
Use Mr Luxon’s deodorant and you won’t need to bathe for months even years three to be precise
