NZ has just ignored Royal Commission and UN recommendations, and survivors' pleas. There will be no independent redress scheme. Nothing yet for faith-based survivors. All let down once more

Summer revisit: The richest 10% of New Zealanders hold more than half the country’s wealth. The poorer half of the population, meanwhile, holds just 2%. So why are we still so reluctant to talk about wealth inequality?

It is startling to see the shifts towards authoritarianism ...limiting pluralism, fixating on 'problem' groups, expanding law n order, extending non-transparent decision-making, protecting dominant economic-political interests...everyday, there's another contribution
NZ govt has removed the humanities & soc sciences from main independent funding (Marsden). Now focused on 'economic benefit' projects
Extraordinary in its ideological focus; lack of understanding about how economy, politics, arts and socio-cultures intersect; and disregard of quality of life in NZ
