PM Luxon: Uphold Codes of Conduct - Call David Seymour into line

Responsible leaders welcome advice from experts when they are creating laws and policies. They know good decision making means planning for the long term, considering diverse points of view and making evidence based decisions. This is also key to a healthy democracy.

I've been privately emailing ActionStation about this kind of stuff for years. In 2024, exposing people to DataFarming by corporations when they sign political petitions is totally unacceptable.

Sort your f%&king sh$t out.

Stop the Treaty Principles Bill - TOITŪ TE TIRITI!!

UPDATE: 203,653 Signatures will be handed over at Parliament today! But you can still sign - we'll keep you updated about submissions opposing the Bill so we can turn this milestone petition into a landslide!

Quick smoke test of the #GTE #XT300E #ActionStation is a success!

More tinkering later when I have time to connect it to a phone line.

And there it is. The #GTE #XT300E #ActionStation

It did get a bit damaged in shipping but it looks like it's just part of the case that could be popped back into place.

It's scandalous that the NZ government is proposing to give more money to some beneficiaries than to others. If you can afford to donate towards the cost of running a formal poll on what the public thinks of this discriminatory policy, see here:
