    There’s a fair amount of anti-“woke” and and anti-environment stuff though, although I’m not familiar enough with NZ politics to know how impactful these will be. But they look pretty fucked on the face of it:

    • All references to gender, sexuality and “relationship-based education guidelines” will be removed and replaced from curriculums
    • Concurrent sentences would come to an end, prisoners would be required to work, and Corrections officers would get body cameras
    • Hate speech law would also be ruled out, with work on it stopped
    • Fair pay agreements and Labour’s replacements for the RMA will be repealed by Christmas. New resource management laws will be “premised on the enjoyment of property rights as a guiding principle”
    • Ban on offshore oil and gas exploration to be repealed.

        It’s a good thing.

        It sounds bad on the surface but what constitutes hate speech is completely subjective so impossible to define in a legal sense without also affecting freedom of speech.

        Plus we already have laws against inciting violence etc so it’s not like there’s a gaping hole

          So then fix it. Or change it, or rework it. Don’t just cut cut cut because things aren’t perfect. How is society supposed to progress if we kill any ambitious programmes?

            In this case the premise is fundamentally flawed and can’t really be fixed.

            Therefore, it’s logical to stop wasting time on it and spend the time on the new priorities instead

      Some of the key points seem very anti environment, which is a real shame as Labour really hadn’t gone far enough
