Bend over Wellington rate payers.
The top Maori official
Chief Maori Officer, Karepa Wall takes home $280 000 a year, $78,000+ more than Andrew Little. This situation raises many questions:
What does he do for his generous salary?
How many staff does he have and do they all have some Maori blood?
Are there Chief Officers for other ethnic groups such as Samoans, Tongans, Chinese, Indians etc …
On what basis does the Wellington City Council justify having a Chief Maori Officer and his staff?

There was a time when technical expertise was enough.
Today, some corporate recruitment material increasingly reads less like a job advertisement and more like a statement of institutional identity.
The concern is not cultural language itself. The concern is when companies selling essential services appear more focused on signalling internal values than explaining the practical work they exist to deliver.

New Zealanders need affordable power, not corporate performance.
The Meridian job advertisement reflects a wider institutional culture where symbolic language and internal signalling increasingly dominate communications.
Customers are entitled to ask whether that energy might be better directed toward delivering lower costs and better outcomes.

@toobaffled The vaccinated are safe from the unvaccinated because they are vaccinated right?

NRL star Sione Katoa reveals why he refuses to get the flu shot - and says he won't let any of his three young kids be vaccinated.
“I’ve had a few people contact me and ask why I declined the flu shot and wanted to share my reasons behind it, particularly now with one of our closest mates and teammate Brian being stood down.
Lately I’ve seen journalists, reporters and mainstream media creating a divide between the community, the fans and the NRL by constantly shaming and bullying NRL players and their families who stand for freedom of choice.
We acknowledge that the flu shot has the ability to result in serious adverse reactions and has also claimed lives. In 2018, the step father of a friend sadly passed away within 48 hours of his flu shot. He was an adult man, with no underlying health conditions. What if this were to happen to our family, or yours? Why are people so quick to advocate for “herd immunity” and not acknowledge vaccine injury/death? There are plenty of families within the NRL alone that suffer from vaccine injury.
We used to be very pro-vaxx and judged those who chose not to vaccinate. Those judgements quickly passed as soon as vaccines caused health issues for our eldest son, Chase. He was constantly sick after his shots, resulting in many trips to the hospital and doctors office. Our son was helpless and never getting any better, so we reached out for a second opinion which lead us down the path of holistic health. After seeking advice from medical professionals and seeing the positive impact that it had on our sons health, we made the informed decision to no longer vaccinate ourselves or our children.
Our friends and family who vaccinate themselves and their children respect and understand our decision with vaccination. And we respect theirs. No, they aren’t scared to be around us, our kids play with theirs and we can also have open conversations about vaccines without judgement and that’s how it should be.
We stand for FREEDOM OF CHOICE and what we choose should not be made a public matter and cause outrage in the media and community. Everyone should be entitled to choose what they do, or do not inject into their body because WHEN THERE IS RISK THERE MUST BE CHOICE.”

Thank you to everyone who joined our peaceful Auckland vigil today. 🇳🇿 We stood together to protect your right to know what’s in your food. Under the Government’s proposed Gene Technology Bill, genetically modified “gene edited” foods will no longer be labelled. If it’s not labelled… how will you know? KEEP NZ GE FREE ✋ STOP THE GENE TECH BILL #newzealand #nzpol #farming #nofarmersnofood

This morning Stanford admitted that they’ve abandoned the previous social media ban bill in favour of a system, with support from Labour that goes ‘FURTHER’ and will be a :
‘UNIVERSAL AGE VERIFICATION’ model - which means everyone who uses the internet will have a digital ID that will be verified and all your activity tracked.
National will be attempting to implement the EU system which could only originate from the Orwellian mess that the UK and Europe has become.
Incoming spin from National for their digital overeach mechanism for the next 6 months. Wipe them out at the election.

🚩Book mark this post : This will soon be announced. Yesterday National said they are pausing the (Labour supported) bill for social media age restrictions - FOR NOW, Luxon has promised to push through the law before the election. The reason for the delay ? Well It’s going to be beefed up, made broader to take on full Orwellian proportions. Originally Nationals legislation was based on the Australian system, which has proven to do absolutely nothing to ‘protect kids’, as it isn’t technologically intrusive enough to replace parenting - which is what Govts around the world want. NZ’s own e-Karen Catherine Wedd (Tuki Tuki seat where Tane Randell will stand) & Erica Stanford confirmed yesterday ‘a more wide ranging solution’ will be implemented. Very soon National will announce that they will adopt the EU Age assurance platform instead, which is unashamedly and indisputably - digital ID. 🚨 (EUDI / eIDAS 2.0): The app is a lightweight “mini-wallet” using the exact same technical standards as the full EU Digital Identity Wallets. 🚨The key tool is the EU Age Verification App (also called the “mini wallet”) rollout across the EU by the end of 2026. Everyone will be given a national digital ID wallet, which will be used for their central bank digital currency. 🚨All Platforms (social media, YouTube-style sites, etc.) will be required to block or limit access based on ID verification/assurance. Every single user of the internet will be required to be verified, your phone will become the ultimate digital checkpoint. 🚨The system is designed to be seamless and cross-border operation 🚨The system is built to integrate directly with (and accelerate adoption of ) the full EU Digital Identity Wallets, which will hold not just age but passports, driving licences, education quals, bank details - credit /financial history, travel and movement details, and digital health records. 🚨The initial credential issuance is government-linked, which creates a single point of reliance on state-issued digital ID for everyday internet use, banking, payments, transactions - EVERYTHING. 🚨End of practical anonymity online Social media accounts would effectively require government-ID linkage, this will then extend to all facets of modern society. 🚨Surveillance creep / normalisation: Once the wallet infrastructure exists, platforms & govts will pressure for more attributes over time. 🚨Security issues with the system are many and varied. The system has already proven to be easily hacked, meaning your entire life can essentially be stolen. Despite multiple security ‘patches’ said to address these concerns, independent assessments found the security of the system to be completely “superficial” The Trojan horse of a social media age restriction - embeds government-backed digital ID (and hence control) deeply into every part of your life. Just another reason why Pauline Hanson, Nigel Farage (who are totally opposed to digital ID) are topping the polls in the UK and Australia in a historical political watershed moment. Watch this clip

New Zealand First@nzfirst
New Zealand First will be proposing a buy-back of the Bank of New Zealand from National Australia Bank. It will be merged with Kiwibank to form the “National Bank of New Zealand (NBNZ)” – a fully Crown owned, commercially run, systemically significant domestic bank with the scale to genuinely compete with ANZ, ASB and Westpac. After all, when National sold BNZ to NAB in November 1992, it then had six of every ten New Zealand banking customers. This is a buy-back to put a New Zealand owned competitor on the field at the scale required to change the behaviour of the foreign-owned banks. READ MORE: nzfirst.nz/the_kiwisaver_…
