Because I’m between jobs, I can say without fear that it is absolutely bonkers how New Zealand businesses call their end of year party Christmas, in the face of a multicultural workforce with very many religious beliefs, other than Christianity.

“New Zealand is moving backwards on racial equality, and Māori rights are under serious threat.”
Read this whole article. It would take Olympic-level twisting to deny any of it - and the fact this isn’t front page news across the board absolutely reinforces the point.

It's good to see Sir Geoffrey talking about the government's overreach.
We should all be worried that he feels it's necessary.

Oh look what happens when you have a gov that follows science and respects the people
Worldwide mortality experience since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (2020-2024) shows excess deaths over that period in almost every country measured. Australia (+6%) was below average, and New Zealand (+0.1%) the lowest we measured.

As Craig Renney revealed to a shocked Dr Gary Payinda, Te Whatu Ora underspent its wages budget by $500m which has been signed off by Willis & returned to general coffers. Let that sink in. The money was there, but they deliberately underspent. On orders?

Listen to the victims.
This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.
