No it’s a bit of a Chris Bishop situation, but won’t say anymore for obvious reasons. Was something I’m pretty sure juju was all over last year?

Pretty sure it's the same thing anyway. Better keep schtum.

Sounds good in principal - turf out non citizens who are trouble. Devils in the detail though.'I've never been there': Man facing deportation to New Zealand despite calling Australia home

There should be a rule something like that it only applies to people who have spent less than 10 years in Australia. Short term visitors rather than long term committed residents.
I had been on an admin imposed break... but miraculously seem to be back now.juju haven't seen you round lately bro, you doing ok?
It's quite Zen just reading the forum.

The Electoral Commission has handed investigation of the New Plymouth MP's failure to report $178,394 in donations to police.

Given this guy was the chair of the fast track committee & took donations from individuals invested in sea bed mining - isn't that enough to at least pause or restart the fast track process?
or is this even... corruption

Personally, I think the “fast tracking” to allow ministers to make the decisions is going to far…. although I would like to see improvements into the speed applications are considered speed up…. but not to the detriment of the environment or effected parties. As normal, it’s finding the right balance…. something our two main parties seem incapable of doing.National MP David MacLeod's donations referred to police

I’d rather see an appeals process above the environment court be established than to just let one of three ministers make a discision.
I would be all for speeding up applications - but this bill has been totally undemocratic & borderline (not really) corrupt given who donates to the parties pushing this through.
I know they are saying they're just increasing the scope of the 'fast track' legislation Labour introduced for housing development but it's too far, in my opinion, to consider approving applications already rejected for environmental reasons.
Danish prime minister attacked in the street
Mette Frederiksen left ‘shocked’ after she was beaten by man in public square

Not over here but the rise in attacks is a concern for political figures all over the world. Hard to tell if there’s one side that are perpetrating these most or if it’s the disillusion with politics and it’s figures in general?
I don't believe it's corruption. I believe it's a reflection of the crap MP's we have across all parties. The candidates they put up for election are generally piss poor. Being an MP is like being a real estate agent in that MP's are only concerned with their own survival and perks and real estate agents are only concerned with their commissions irrespective of the lies they tell us.National MP David MacLeod's donations referred to police

Like real estate agents, the 80-20 ratio applies to MP's. 20% are okay , even worthy, 80% are useless.
While I agree the quality of MPs is really low...
This certainly appears to be corrupt, as much as the MP will play dumb - Chairing the Fast Track Committee while not declaring donations from people who benefit from it. Yikes
The bar should be lifted anyway. Forget to declare anything, bye bye.
He didn’t realise he was supposed to declare his donations from that year
Good to see you back juju. Must have been boring sitting on the couch sucking on fruju’s
Funnily enough just saw the below post come out today.

That’s what I was alluding to. Be interesting to see if it makes its way to mainstream media? Would imagine there’s a fair bit of name suppression here
interesting gossip.
I'd be even more interested if the poster (instagram one) was not anonymous
