"Do we want the ideal people for these jobs to have experience, intelligence, reliability, integrity, humility, honesty, consistency, empathy in their leadership? Hell, no. Let’s have lies, deceit, abject hypocrisy, irresponsibility, arrogance, discord, apathy, callousness and sycophancy instead." ODT swallows the thesaurus today in a Signal editorial.

Voters want to keep living wage rule for govt cleaners, security guards and catering staff: POLL results T Coughlan Nicki No Boats just can't read the public mood on anything. When unemployment is rising folk think on job security, & what is being done unto others being done to themselves #NZPol

The Government plans to change procurement rules, no longer requiring a living wage to be paid to some workers. A poll shows the living wage rule is supported by a majority of voters. Union E tū warns the move could push workers into poverty, calling it “heartless”. A large majority of people oppose the Government’s decision to remove a requirement to pay the living wage to government-contracted cleaners, security guards, and catering. Of the people polled, 62% opposed removing living wage requirements, compared to 23% who supported removing them. Earlier this month, Finance Minister Nicola Willis began consulting on changes to government procurement rules, proposing to dramatically reduce the number of rules companies needed to meet when bidding for government contracts. One such rule, introduced in 2021, was that people bidding for government contracts must pay the living wage to cleaners, security guards and catering staff – the living wage rate is currently $27.80 an hour.
The results come from a Talbot Mills poll commissioned by the E tū union, which asked “as you may be aware, the Government is planning to remove the requirement to pay the ‘Living Wage’ for government-contracted cleaners, security guards, and catering. How strongly do you support or oppose the Government removing the Living Wage requirement?” Of those polled, 44% said they “strongly” opposed the change; 18% said they “somewhat” opposed it; 15% said they “somewhat” supported the change; and only 8% said they “strongly” supported it. Another 8% were unsure.
While Act and National voters were more likely to support removing the rules, more of their voters backed retaining the requirement than removing it. The split of supporters wanting the rules removed compared to those who wanted them retained was 40% to 44% for Act voters and 39% to 44% for National voters. NZ First voters split 20% to 63% in favour of retaining the rules, while the split for the Greens was 21% to 77%, and for Te Pāti Māori it was 19% to 74%.
The gap was widest for the Labour Party, whose voters split 15% to 76% in favour of retaining the rules. Executive director of Living Wage Movement Aotearoa New Zealand Gina Lockyer said the results were “not surprising”. “Kiwis intrinsically understand the importance of looking after each other, and the Living Wage is one important way to do just that.

@marsden
The lack of support for autistic/disabled people is outrageous! Is this the society we want to live in? This govt disgusts me!

Then this: "I’ve found out that two of my conditions, Long Covid and ME, sit on exclusion lists that prevents people like me from accessing any Disability Support Services (DSS), whether funded through NASC or LTHC."
10% of Covid infections result in LC, some of those will get ME. That's a debilitating condition! How can there be no funding?

Can't say this surprises me one bit, but it is chilling. The coalition is planning to silence the voice of thousands of members of the public by deliberately failing to include their submissions.

We are on the slippery slope to autocracy in Aotearoa, and pretty far down in my humble estimation. #nzpol
