God damn it, they don't seem to know what the hell they've just done to people's lives, or maybe #Labour just don't care how it affects everyone!

Thank you @kimjohnsonmp.bsky.social for saying what needs to be said, the UC Bill needs to be scrapped.
"It's a sadistically cruel cost cutting exercise."
There's been no consultation, nothing in the bill except punitive cuts to disabled, no support, just discrimination.

Fantastic that Bradford Greens brought (and won!) a motion on Labour’s shameful attack on disability benefits at Bradford Council meeting last night.
Now Labour must #BinTheBill.
📢 Key point on #UCBill, especially for #Labour MPs👇
The #RightToTry - the right to try work without losing benefits *already exists*. It isn't a new provision, it isn't created by this bill, it'll be there if you #BinTheBill.
Nothing in the Bill incentivises work. It's all about cuts.✂️ #TakingThePIP

Wes Streeting MP on TV show
Wes Streeting says he wants to listen to disabled people re #WelfareReformBill.
So listen to us now: bin the bill, start over and involve sick & disabled people and organisations from the start. Not as an afterthought.

'This is Act’s 4th attempt to pass the Regulatory Standards Bill. Why are Act so determined?'
Even more excellent information on the #RSB with Jane Kelsey Emeritus Professor of Law.
Thanks for your work Moana! So helpful.

I formally oppose the RSB & recommend the Committee reject the Bill in its entirety. This Bill does not improve the quality our accountability of lawmaking in Aotearoa. Instead, it undermines Te Tiriti o Waitangi, privileges a narrow & ideologically driven view of law & governance, & risks placing significant constraints on future efforts to address social, environmental, & historical injustices. 1. The Bill undermines Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The Bill fails to recognise the constitutional foundation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. By embedding a fixed set of "regulatory principles" – such as individual liberty, freedom of contract, & minimal state interference – into the legal framework, the Bill elevates colonial legal values over the commitments made in Te Tiriti. It places those abstract principles above the need to uphold tino rangatiratanga & the Crown obligations to Māori. Laws that aim to advance Māori self-determination, restore land protect taonga, or rebalance longstanding inequities could be challenged or constrained by the Bill's framework. This is unacceptable. 2. Priviledging Private Interests Over Public & Collective Good. The Bill prioritises private property & economic rights at the expense of collective wellbeing. It would restrict Parliament's ability to pass strong public interest laws – including those that regulate industries, protect the environment, or address systemic inequities – by creating legal hurdles based on narrowly defined "regulatory standards." Such a framework is not neutral. It protects powerful commercial & property interests while limiting the ability of future governments to respond to public needs or honour Treaty commitments. 3. Risk of Judicial Overreach & Legal Uncertainty. The Bill will empower the courts to assess legislation for "inconsistency" with the proposed principles. This opens the door to judicial activism, legal challenges, & long delays in implementing needed reforms. *See first comment for the rest*
I did a thing.

In my #opinion, we don't need #assisteddying. What we need is better palliative care, better care for the disabled, better care for the elderly and better care for those with mental health issues. #binthebill
Well thank Christ the mis/dis bill seems to have been stopped in it’s track. Fck Albo and his attempt to empower both Murdock and Fairfax against us.
