Yup, Act has got this one in: “Explore allowing home builders to opt out of requiring a building consent provided they have long-term insurance for their work”

Hopefully this is just in name. They probably got told no, and they said can we at least look into it?

And for schools, NZ First: “Refocus the curriculum on academic achievement and not ideology, including the removal and replacement of the gender, sexuality, and relationship-based education guidelines”. What does the last bit mean? Remove and then replace? You can’t remove something and then replace it. No more sex education?

I think this is not related to the kind of sex education we had as kids, I think this is basically banning schools from discussing bi/homosexuality, trans, an non-binary genders. It's pandering to the "anti-woke" crowd who don't even understand what that stuff is but definitely don't want their kids learning about it. Because the youth suicide rate isn't high enough, we need some policies that aim to take it higher.
