To what end? Follow the money. Who wanted these policies? Why? www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3610... #nzpol Attacks on women, Maori and the poor as well as repeated attacks on the environment, democracy and oversight. #atlasnetwork #nzpol #project2025 #tpu #luxon #paulgoldsmith

You didn’t vote for these policies. The Government did them anyway

From a social media ban to council amalgamation, these are the major changes the coalition parties didn’t campaign on.

Using 2 different data sets to measure crime in #AotearoaNZ is NOT the 'Gold Standard'.

It's the 'Goldsmith Standard'.

Your govt is lying to you about fewer victims of violent crime.

#PaulGoldsmith smiling through talking about zip tying 14 year old CHILDREN who shoplift, is all you need to know about this #NZGovt's sick personalities & policies.
They're also ok with younger children being zip tied & kids being assaulted by shopkeepers.

Wow, Paul Goldsmith really is a special type of moron.

Good to see the govt under pressure for its human rights abuses and discrimination against Maori, from the UN in Geneva.

#nzpol #OneTermGovernment #luxon #goldsmith #paulgoldsmith

It was also good to hear members push back, very politely, on some of the government's assertions.

For example, when Minister Paul Goldsmith justified the lack of government action on hate speech by saying the best antidote to hate speech is "more speech", Member Kut was firm in saying that this position does not meet international norms. He reminded the government that it has a responsibility to protect citizens, minorities, and Indigenous peoples from hate speech, and that hate speech leads to hate crimes.

When Goldsmith talked about "all New Zealanders", several CERD members
also reminded him that under international convention, the New Zealand government has a particular responsibility to Indigenous Mãori, given the harm done to Mãori over many generations.

The government continued to give selective and misleading statements…

#paulgoldsmith has an agenda against the TRUTH. He wants this government to work in the shadows, he doesn't want them held to account. His attacks on the BSA and OIA are from the hard right #atlasnetwork playbook. #national #act #luxon all need to be out of power. We need to protect our democracy.

“The Government has pushed ahead with scrapping the Broadcasting Standards Authority despite warnings from its own officials that audiences could face fewer protections against unfair and inaccurate media content.”
