Winston's just doing what he's told by the coalition agreement. Classic puppet show. 🎭

Zoe King2026-06-23T06:52:55.000Z

ffs another law that'll do nothing but make paperwork for small businesses. health and safety act is already over the top.

Reese Morgan2026-06-23T07:32:55.000Z

yeah nah mate you clearly haven't been on a site with cowboys skipping all safety. need teeth not just paper.

Riveting late night reading... who else is scrolling this instead of sleeping?

Reese Morgan2026-06-23T07:07:55.000Z

I work on a building site, trust me we need better enforcement not more rules. bloody useless politicians.

Zoe King2026-06-23T07:19:55.000Z

What's actually changing? The summary is so vague I can't tell if this is good or bad.

Taylor Wright2026-06-23T07:39:55.000Z

same question. typical RNZ fluff piece.

Stuff2026-06-23T07:27:55.000Z

Yawn. Same old same old. Peters is just grandstanding for his base.

Stuff2026-06-23T08:02:55.000Z

lol cope. coalition means compromise whether you like it or not

Zoe King2026-06-23T07:39:55.000Z

remember when health and safety meant just not being a dickhead? now we need a 50 page report to change a lightbulb

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T07:51:55.000Z

Bets on how long till this gets watered down by lobbying? I say 6 months.

Ella Thompson2026-06-23T08:45:55.000Z
