Hypocrisy of Regulatory Standards Bill vs myths the Right need to spread about NZ Economy vs undermining right to strike
The plunge in the first political poll of 2025 + economic down turn thanks to their austerity ideology + Trump inspired global economic carnage = promotion of bullshit right wing mythology as policy.
I am cynical of ACTs Regulatory Standards Bill, because we need MORE oversight and MORE State capacity, not less!
Allowing a Corporate Body to prevent legislation based on a narrow interpretation of property rights as the only rights creates a nightmare for democracy.
We need actual regulatory oversight and the ability to properly police that oversight by properly taxing the rich.
National are trying to respond to more mishaps caused by a lack of oversight by proposing even less oversight!
Why are we trading in the common good for laws that help their donor class interests?
Why are we punishing workers for strikes?
Plans to reintroduce pay deductions for partial strikes
The Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden has announced plans to reintroduce pay deductions for partial strikes.
The Covid inflation was generated by price gouging, not Government policy!
The Cost of Living Crisis is still here despite National’s $12 a week tax cuts…
Bitching about Labour spending money to save us from a once in a century pandemic and using that to justify an Austerity Agenda to promote a deregulation platform that only helps their donors is just too venal for your average kiwi.
Increasingly having independent opinion in a mainstream media environment which mostly echo one another has become more important than ever, so if you value having an independent voice – please donate here.
I’ll ask it once again. Did National support the COVID wage subsidy? The answer I will guess is yes, just like they used to support initiatives that supported Māori in health etc (because it made sense) and introduced models of co governance. All not really that long ago. Under Luxon they are a two faced f’ing joke and Nicola stands straight faced and says she has “delivered”. What have you delivered? An enormous steaming turd perhaps?
