Huge crowd today in Wellington at our meeting to resist and oppose this Government’s destructive agenda. Unions will keep this opposition up every day between now and the next election. This Government is dangerous and divisive and must be stopped.

@JamesEisen1891 @XavierWalsh02 @commoben @Bob247874 @ShannaOReeder @FleurFitzsimons Happy May Day to all comrades out there! May this year be the year the Capitalists realise they are nothing without the worker. If you are in New Zealand, and not sick, attend a May Day rally!

Now @FleurFitzsimons on the public service. The public service as a national building block. Must also commit to “just transitions”. To me, it’s the challenge of maintaining turangawaewae while embracing change. #kiatikakiapono

People’s SC on pay equity - with former MPs from Labour, National, Greens, and NZ First - putting out a report today suggesting pay equity changes were a violation of the rule of law and breached various laws and conventions.

Under National, you can get from your insecure work to your unaffordable home in record time!

The fudge served its purpose, gave Taxpayers (not-a-) Union attention and made this Government’s austerity agenda look moderate by comparison. #OvertonWindow #FalseFlag

Yep, 100 percent this.
We shouldn’t be naive and think the PSA union and a centre-right government are going to agree on everything. However, sometimes, with dialogue, some shared positions can be found. A good meeting on Thursday with PSA National Secretaries Duane Leo and @FleurFitzsimons where some understanding could be found.

1/ Luxon says NZ can’t pay teachers properly because we’re not as wealthy as Ireland. As per usual with this dolt, he manages to be both wrong and wrong-headed. 🧵 (1/7)

Oops. I read Judith's letter! It's really bad! I'll try and keep this short. First up, this bare-faced lie. The countries in the pink circle have a similar-sized economy to NZ. Govt spending is a lot higher in all but one . [🧵 1/n]

Government claims to be focussed on law and order but won't build new Courtrooms or upgrade existing facilities. Judges and court staff deserve better than unmanageable workloads and unsafe work conditions - will they listen to the Chief Justice on this? nzherald.co.nz/nz/chief-just…

Emeritus Professor James Belich ONZM is worried recent cuts at the Ministry of Culture and Heritage are shortsighted. He says we still have so much to learn about the history of New Zealand and its interactions with the world. Listen here rnz.co.nz/national/programme… #HistoryMatters

Merging the Ministries for Women and Pacific People's into other agencies would water down their role in analysing Government policy and giving free & frank advice on Cabinet Papers, so much for the evidence based decision making this Government promised rnz.co.nz/news/political/571…

You can almost hear the sighs of relief from the jobless and job-insecure, the teetering small business owner, the sacked public servant, the householder on the brink. “Did you hear that, everyone? He says it’s gonna be okay!”

🫧🫧Simon Watts in opposition said Local Water Done Well would not increase rates compared to Labour's Three Waters. He's not saying that now.
