Brooke van Velden on Q&A. Got the gall to quote the ILO, which is meeting right now, and she is MIA from.

Brooke van Velden does not want to talk about numbers. Her problem with road cones is people "don't like them" . What a crock. This woman is sadly a perfect example of the type of power seeking person who should not be a politician. Se Dark Triad

"I know your party values evidenced based policy" as long as its provided by researchers from The NZ Initiative working to a cost cut brief. Q+A The sea of road cones removal will leave many roads in the hinterland unsafe. Brooke Van Velden needs to stop flying so much.

Brooke van Velden has sold out female workers and when challenged cannot explain how low paid female dominated sectors can use the now broken Equity Bill for any meaningful remedy. Nicola Grigg, Nicola Willis etc also cuplable. #Pickme #SerenaJoy

Worksafe changes, road cones, and pay equity. Here's our full interview with Brooke van Velden from Q+A this morning. youtube.com/watch?v=YGpCuI…

Woweeee she might have a nice wardrobe & lovely smile to hide that ice cold, vicious & callous interior, but Jack Tame takes the Queen of Hypocrisy apart in this interview. MUST WATCH (especially if she destroyed your pay equity claim.. ) #nzpol 1news.co.nz/2025/06/08/ful…

Brooke Van Velden would never have previous to her becoming a minister set foot in the more dangerous workplaces. I have and I can say health and safety improved out of sight over the years and never did l consider health and safety over the top .

Learned 3 things NZQA today: ACT is a party of two worlds—carrots for the rich, sticks for the poor. Brooke van Velden was only a 'mean girl' because the boys made her do it. And regulations are for future left governments, not this one—rules are beneath them!

Brooke Van Velden claims there's a 'culture of fear' among business owners about WorkSafe regulations. Wondering why she's using such over-emotive language? Sure, there are concerns, but a 'culture of fear'? I don’t think so. #NZPol #WorkplaceSafety 1news.co.nz/2025/06/08/ful…

Brooke van Velden: "My leader made me do it," to implementing cancelling pay equity without scrutiny, under urgency. What kind of party is ACT, where inexperienced Ministers are given major roles and then ordered to do something? #JackTame

Brooke van Velden's interview with Jack Tame this morning was a roadcrash, headfirst into a pothole, as the traffic cones had been removed for being in the way.

Brooke Van Velden has absolutely nothing beyond pure ideology Q+A that was a dismal showing. She truly is a show pony
