Don’t 90% of the dogs not get rehoused anyway & are euthanised? Not ending greyhound racing is just delaying the inevitable & prolonging the problem. Awful industry.

Yes false equivalence. it wasn't a party from the right doing it
the left freaking out about forcing universities to have open and clear free speech policies shows you just how captured they are.Do you read what you post (or comprehend the issues) the change is clearly to ALLOW free speech. What does this censure?
Even the Greens in your article say it will ‘add fuel to the political fires’ with concerns for teachers; not that it will limit speech or censure anyone - the opposite.
The current Education act REQUIRES academic staff and students to question and test received wisdom, put forward new ideas, or state uncontroversial and explore unpopular opinions within the law.
It’s clearly not currently happening at universities with frequent examples of deplatforming, banning speeches, controlling what can be discussed, etc. Just this year a debate on free speech was cancelled at Victoria University because of a right wing speaker… the guy can write in the Nz Herald but uni student can’t handle him
When the lefties banned Don Brash from Massey in 2018 they won the battle but lost the war…

Problem again with the Kaiarahi .
Luckily still inside the harbour limits when overheating occurred in the lub systems.
Could have easily been mid Strait in a storm. No current means for recovery

Merry Christmas mate and let’s be thankful for our freedom from government interference to celebrate it as we wish!
What scares you in that article. Just seems an option piece of someone living in fear.
Quote:: ‘Under the guise of equality before the law and the rather boring talk of regulation and “cutting red tape” is a more insidious goal of stripping the democratic right to regulate business and corporate activity.’
Sounds like great intentions but someone with a bias looking for issues from a negative angle. So they have the power to strip democracy???
Also quoted: ‘This regulatory board would have sweeping oversight over all proposed government regulations, with the ability to make non-binding recommendations.’
Damn. Lost all credibility there about undermining democracy and being so scary. Their sweeping oversight has no teeth. Just more dramatic propaganda from the left…
Have a good break buddy, don’t spend your time off getting lost down any rabbit holes
That's fucken weird, why they all dressed the same. Look like a family of serial killers that just buried somebody.

NZ’s insane targeting of farmers, cows farting and taxing everything farmers do:
We do need regulation and safe guards…. But sometimes it goes too far.
In Parnell a few years ago, a sinkhole opened up when part of an old brick interceptor pipe broke. A neighbour of ours is a crane driver responsible for laying fabric pipes which acts as form work so concrete is pumped between the two piece of fabric to make the new sewer line.
Around every 10 minutes, he’s alternating between lowering the next section of pipe or the jointing materials. A WaterCare engineer walked through and was horrified that the hook of the crane was above some workers. She wanted a platform put over them for protection.
The operator said that was fine but how was he then supposed to pick up material with this platform in the way over the material and workers. She said he could then lower the hook down to rest it safely on the platform for safety. So he said why didn’t he just keep doing what he’d been doing for the last four months and just lower the hook down on to the ground away from where people were working when it wasn’t required.
Gets even more ridiculous. The access way to the site sometimes has native skinks crossing it and an environment engineer took ages to come up with a solution which DOC and a council environmental person finally agreed too….. involving a series of supposedly skink proof fences to the edge of the access way except for one small section constantly manned by two stop/go sign operators who were tasked to stop traffic the moment they saw any reptilian movement.
The supposedly skink proof fences didn’t work and the environmentalists wanted the whole project shut down until two workers stepped forward to provide a “number 8” solution…. Dig up part of the temporary access way every metre, put down some pipes for the skinks to go through and put the temporary roading metal back over the pipes. Not only have most of the skinks decided to use the pipes, some seem to have made it into their homes.
Every two days, the entire project is closed down for a few hours while a new safety audit is done.
The only freedoms this government and all others of the neoliberal persuasion, including America (truly of the billionaires, for the billionaires, by the billionaires) care about are ones that increase their wealth free of consequence and responsibility.Merry Christmas mate and let’s be thankful for our freedom from government interference to celebrate it as we wish!

This government is following that exact prescription.
That's what we should all be concerned about.
That's just a reply to your comment, I do wish everyone a lovely day, hope it's all good food, health and family.

I appreciate your passionate viewpoint and therefore to be inclusive I will channel my inner woke side:
Please accept my non-denominational holiday wishes with no obligation implied, explicit or otherwise for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low-stress, gender neutral celebration of the end-of-the-year holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion, or secular practices of your choice and the tradition/s of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all.
Along with a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2025, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures, whose contributions to our society have helped to make New Zealand, and the wider world great. Not to imply that New Zealand is necessarily greater than any other country. This wish is further made without regard to the race, creed, colour, age, gender, physical ability, religious or secular belief or sexual preference of the wishee.
As we no longer support the use of Merry Christmas anymore I will extend you the preferred terminology of happy holidays!
Have a good one mate
