Hobson's Pledge fights for the equality of all New Zealanders. He Iwi Tahi Tatou = We Are One People
🥁 Drum roll please… 🥁 It’s a Policy Advisor role! A serious government job shaping policy… hidden behind a te reo-only title: Tawatawa ā-whare. If you didn’t guess it, don’t worry—most Kiwis wouldn’t either. Is this what “sorting out” the public service looks like?
When are the Government going to get around to doing something about the legislation they put on pause? The Marine and Coastal Area Act must be amended.
We love a common sense decision and we especially love that it is part of an already planned security upgrade to passports so the changes aren't an additional cost to taxpayers!
Should Councillor Danny Loughlin really be taking part in the vote on whether Taupō District Council should enter a co-governance agreement with Tūwharetoa when he is a board member of Tūwharetoa?
New Zealand’s fastest-growing industry? Cultural oversight. While Kiwis struggle, unelected “culture managers” keep expanding their empire on our dime. When will the madness stop?
While ratepayers suffer double-digit hikes, Far North District Council offers up to $220k for a Group Manager who doesn’t even have to show up half the week. More proof the system’s broken: ordinary Kiwis pay more, while unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats enjoy cushy deals.
Nelson Hospital is in crisis — short-staffed, badly run. So what’s Health NZ doing? Hiring a Pou Herenga (Tikanga Advisor). Not a nurse. Not a doctor. A Treaty Cop to keep everyone in line with the right tikanga.
Victoria University offers special practice tests... but only if you are Māori or Pasifika. There used to be a few words starting with 'R' we would use to describe this: a revolting, reprehensible, and racist rort.
Tell Erica Stanford to remove section 127(2)e now and be done with it stopstanfordssneakysellout.nz
What completely reasonable thing should we publish as an ad this year to see if we can top 672?
Imagine if we ran an ad saying: Māori ceded sovereignty.
Erica Stanford had some big education announcements this week. She is undermining all of her hard work by refusing to remove section 127(2)e. Send her an email encouraging her to do the right thing: stopstanfordssneakysellout.nz
