Airport finds practice bomb in luggage, calls Defence Force but doesn't evacuate Worker claims safety rules ignored but bosses say public wasn't at risk.

#BrookeVanVelden was this you? "I want to see a shift from a regulator that has a safety at all cost mentality, to a regulator that focusses on helping duty-holders do what's proportionate to risks, including rooting out over-compliance." #nzpol #idiots #WorkSafeNZ

NZ still has NOT banned Engineered Stone even though the Minister said she would follow Australia in banning it when she took office.

#BrookeVanVelden doesn't give a shit about NZ workers. SHAME! #nzpol

Meeting with govt 'complete waste of time', Pike River families say Anna Osborne and Sonya Rockhouse sat down with Brooke van Velden on the 15th anniversary of the disaster: "She seemed to be focusing all the time on the employers."

#BrookeVanVelden: "When it came to Covid, we completely blew out what the value of a life was, completely, I've never seen such a high value on life."

Finally! We've all been waiting for this very serious and life changing announcement. You knows it and I knows it...

Why is half this Auckland inner city street blocked off and another closed entirely? Hoardings fence off two lanes of Wakefield St, with orange cones up and down both sides of the road.

QUICK! Someone alert the online #RoadCodeHotline!!!

#AucklandCouncil is bizarrely trying to keep people safe. #BrookeVanVelden will be very concerned at the value the Council are putting on life.

#BrookeVanVelden? We should rename her Brooke Van Vandal.

A shocking admission from the Minister about tossing aside the cancelled pay equity claims without even considering them first.

Ok at the risk of sounding like a "not all men" argument, didn't #ACTNZ MP #BrookeVanVelden utter "Cunts" in a speech IN the Chamber???? #DeborahRussell talking to a colleague under her breath saying "FFS" is hardly a profane noun. #nzpol

#ChristopherLuxon telling #RNZ this morning that #BrookeVanVelden is looking at cutting worker's sick leave from 10 days to 5, makes me physically sick. 😡😡😡😡

Hey #BrookeVanVelden, I need to report some overzealous road cone usage.

Can I call you?

Listening to #BrookeVanVelden complain how unfair media are to ACT MPs, @ #DavidSeymour's brunch.
David then talks about setting brush fires in New Zealander's minds...so far 4 times he's said it.

Ever noticed how it's victim mentality one minute, then violent references the next?

#nzpol

Imo it's a little far... I do see truth, it's just the way it was presented. But hey, we need louder voices.
What do you guys think?

Confessions time. I smiled at her once. It was years ago. Now I know her black heart I still feel sick about it. It won't happen again. #nzpol #BrookeVanVelden

Five things you need to know about the surprise pay equity change Using parliamentary urgency, the Government rushed through changes to the Equal Pay Act. ACT leader David Seymour claims it will save “billions”.

3. #NZ #pay #equity changes came out of the blue, with Workplace Relations Minister #BrookevanVelden #ACT’s deputy leader-announcing her plan at 11am on Tuesday. Parliament was asked to pass the law, under #urgency, that evening. #nzpol #Democracy #NZGovtFail #women
