Haha, I had to have this reference explained to me

2 qualified women plus some corporate/economics shills to implement an Act opposed by a majority of the NZ public, Māori Law Society, NZ Law Students’ Association, Public Service Association & Council of Trade Unions on the grounds it's neoliberal ideology will favour private over public interests

#nzpol
Meanwhile Mark Mitchell (and other claims that that severity and frequency extreme weather events in AoNZ is no different than in the past and that it's just increased media reporting. He's either flat out lying or remarkably ignorant of decades of research and evidence

Flood protection:
"The previous Government committed $340 million over three years to flood resilience, excluding one-off disaster recovery funding. This Government has committed $200 million total across three years, spread across 74 projects nationwide. That is a decrease of $140 million. "

Day 20: Something Hard to Lift

...everything according to Linkin Park

🎶 Why is everything so heavy?
Holding on
To so much more than I can carry
I keep dragging around what's bringing me down

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

Péter Magyar’s real coup was winning over loyal Orbán voters – not preaching to the converted He is no progressive but unlike the old opposition, the Tisza leader listened to Orbán’s rural base, says Nóra Schultz, podcaster and political theorist

#nzpol
"Magyar campaigned almost exclusively in rural areas talked on issues relevant to the majority. A rigorous focus on a narrow list: cost of living, collapse of state-run services education healthcare transport. And enrichment of Orbán-friendly families while everyone else experienced a decline

Yep, why on earth did Wood lead his interview by mentioning his huge privilege of taking time and spending $$ on a pilgrimage in Europe, before going on to talk about Labour's focus on NZers facing tough times and affordability 🤔

Okay understood. But Wood is not bourgeoisie and is a genuine representative of his community. Frankly I think he speaks more convincingly and honestly about policies on decarbonisation and development of sustainable energy than any of the CoC

Labour needs to connect with and have more MPs who are from the communities want to vote for them. But unless Labour convincingly beats National in this election I'm thinking the country will again be run down rapidly by Seymour, Peters and weak word salad Luxon. Same goes for Greens regarding MPs

We need Greens 💯 but focus on the utter bullshit from National on sustainable energy & environmental protection. I'm just listening to Bishop on Q&A re National's killing of EV subsidies and broken promises of rolling out EV chargers, cutting city infill homes targets, lies on reducing homelessness

Such a good story!

"We used to throw everything at it. One of the reasons for the success of the teams is firstly that a lot of the guys in jail are extroverts... “[That] makes them good debaters and they’re used to telling lies and a lot of time in a debate you have to bluff a bit.”

Great story. I worked briefly with Greg. He inspired me.

There's a lesson in this excerpt from his biography

Teams (e.g Labour) won't win if they field candidates (e.g. do-gooders with high academic credentials) who have zero experience of the lives of the people they want to win over

Ah what a surprise... Mark Mitchell denying climate change to try to win back maga and anti-woke haters who are leaving National in droves for NZF.
For a brief moment he had them buying into his calm and reassuring voice during his recent appearances on TV in gumboots and raincoat

The amount of eye-rolling I do with this government's off the wall statements - it's a wonder I can still look straight ahead 🙄

Looking forward to Q&A soon, after completing my highly important music challenges 🙃

This... 💯

Prosaic perfection 👌
