I offered to work on Sunday morning because short-staffed and I didn’t realise it would be daylight savings so 8am start just became 7am start and 6am wake up 😭

the other week, the local government Minister sent councils a letter lecturing them about wasting money investing in infrastructure to handle climate change
At the same time as forcing council to waste millions on forced amalgamation plans that have now been dropped in the bin
Councils have already been forced to waste over $10m on National's slapdash, unwanted forced amalgamation agenda.
And, now, after giving councils just three months to present proposals- they're kicking it off post election to avoid voter backlash
Hope councils invoice them

Two more MoE staffers have come forwards alleging that higher ups have been directing staff to avoid creating an OIA-able paper trail

from rural or greenfield areas where there is no infrastructure, no services, no plan for growth any time soon and will have a massive social, environmental, economic cost on all Aucklanders as they roll out.

Two weeks ago, Auckland councillors unanimously asked the Mayor and I to advocate to all parties to remove greenfield residential development from the fast-track.
So, we've done the work and produced a bill that would do that. nzherald.co.nz/nz/fast-track…
Handbrake on our economy complains about the handbrake on our economy
The RMA has been a massive handbrake on our economy - and it is officially gone.
Bills to replace the Resource Management Act passed Parliament overnight.
This all means faster consents, cheaper housing and less red tape.
This is what National means when we say we’re fixing the basics and building the future.

The Taxpayers’ Union Board has issued a categorical denial of allegations made by Nicky Hager concerning an alleged sexual harassment settlement.
Taxpayers’ Union Chair Ruth Richardson said:
“The Taxpayers’ Union Board categorically denies Nicky Hager’s allegation that the organisation has ever made any payment to settle a sexual harassment claim against Jordan Williams. There have been no claims, let alone settlements.
“I have spoken directly with previous Chairs and with the organisation’s co-founder, who served on the Board until 2023. All are unequivocal: the allegation is totally untrue.
“The Taxpayers’ Union will not be distracted by false claims. We will continue doing what we have always done: standing up for taxpayers, scrutinising government spending, and fighting for lower taxes, less waste, and more accountability.”
I saw Israel Adesanya at my supermarket today taking photos with the staff.
I had no idea who he was, I had to ask the staff after he left 😵💫

Labour now calling for a Public Service Commission investigation.
“The leaked video raises serious questions about instructions given to Ministry of Education staff to keep political matters out of emails and avoid OIA scrutiny, following conversations with Stanfords' office."
Bridget P retweeted
Leaked video shows top official telling staff not to put info in writing.
"Don’t respond with anything that references the minister’s office… all of this is OIA-able.
She says she’ll use wording "so as far as anyone is concerned it is just some feedback from me.”
