If it wasn't for our #NZInitiative passing a bill that was opposed by 98.7% of NZ public submissions we wouldn't have to fix it and you wouldn't have to vote us back in to repeal a bill we backed.
You could say we're back to backing Bill again.

In response to #RNZ publishing random reckons I thought this particular reckon deserved a complimentary counter reckon.

Here’s my reckon.

#NZPol PM Luxon is undeniably incompetent but if he is proven to be foolishly arrogant enough to ignore 90+% of the NZ public and pursue this unconstitutional and anti democratic #AtlasNetwork backdoor assault on NZ democracy and sovereignty then he and the National Party will suffer a backlash so severe he will be wishing he was still working as a simple deodorant salesman.

Unlike Luxon, imo, Winston Peters is neither naive or silly enough not to take advantage of this opportunity to poach a large proportional slice of the National and Act voter base and potentially force a snap election.

In conclusion, having watched much of the 30 hours of oral submissions on the #RSB I am honestly surprised by just how little media attention the devastating demolition of Act and in particular #DavidSeymour the Finance and Expenditure Committe has received.

Perhaps the #NZInitiative aka Atlas Network have threatened media with local advertising boycotts? After all the Act Party and its supporters did threaten and dox an active opponent to this legislation, lawyer Tania Waikato, to the extent she required a security escort when attending NZ Parliament to make her oral submission. These are not nice people, they are white collar criminals who operate like the mob.

Meanwhile NZ media suffers a growing distrust in its reporting…. Wonder why?

The neoliberal #AtlasNetwork and RSB supporter from the #NZInitiative Bryce Wilkinson speaking on #RNZ calling constitutional lawyer and former #NZPol PM Geoffrey Palmer confused about David Seymour’s appalling bill without providing any supporting evidence reveals the dishonesty of these criminals.

If you're tempted to read today's Damien Grant column, I wouldn't bother. It's as blatant a piece of Atlas Network propaganda as you're likely to read in a NZ publication.

This week convicted fraudster Grant attacks climate reporting as an unreasonable cost to business.

He quotes the Chicago School -- the home of neoliberalism -- and channels Milton Friedman's assertion that businesses' prime raison d'etre is to increase profits for shareholders. Grant rails against the "bureaucratic class that do not consider the cost of a policy against the proposed benefit ."

At least he admits, "I was part of the biennial tour organised by the NZ Initiative..." That would be the Atlas Network-affiliated NZ Initiative. Naturally.

While Grant doesn't mention Seymour's dangerous Regulatory Services Bill, it's the type of twisted legislation which could see the Minister (Seymour) erase the need for climate reporting at the stroke of a pen.

The Atlas Network's operatives are swarming.

I won't link to Grant's piece.

#AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative

So do you suppose David Seymour's #Act Party were so keen to have Te Pāti Māori MP's jailed for performing a #haka because they didn't want them present as Seymour & Act attempt to rush their undemocratic and treacherous #RegulatoryStandardsBill through parliament under urgency?

Regardless of whether you support or oppose this treasonous bill, the dismantling of constitutional and democratic parliamentary process should alarm all #NZTwits. Perhaps #DavidSeymour sees this as a way of guaranteeing his ambition of bringing about a #CivilWar in #Aotearoa #NewZealand. #NZPol #AtlasNetwork #NZInitiative #TreatyOfWaitangi #TeTiritiOWaitangi #ToitūTeTiriti

The recent exposure of NZ groups operating under the control of the #AtlasNetwork umbrella such as the #NZInitiative #TaxPayersUnion and #FreeSpeechUnion is helping wake up many NZers to the threat of multi national corporate control of #NZPol and policies. #DavidSeymour 's Treaty Principles Bill has helped shine a light on the ACTlas Network Party's treacherous motives.

@rnzbot_political

It’s well past time the disproportionate influence of the #AtlasNetwork and affiliate member groups like #NZTPU and #NZInitiative on #NZPol policy, underfunding of government departments and #TeTiriti legitimacy was exposed. The threat to #NewZealand independence and democracy by foreign interest interfering with domestic politics is very real but the silence from #NZMedia also points to complicity.

@phil_stevens @RupertBBare

Might I suggest #Luxon like #Seymour is also under the control of #Act Party leader the #AtlasNetwork and heavily influenced by Atlas Network affiliated member the #NZInitiative which means #NZPol is currently under the control of a foreign entity that has an appalling record of embedding themselves in governments around the world and targeting indigenous peoples protections and their resources. This is hugely problematic for #NewZealand independence and democracy.
