On one level, I’m grateful the classic “Sexual violence: where to get help” is at the end of this article. But it’s deranged it’s after quotes from victims eg: “This is really unhinged, but if one of my friends gets sexually assaulted I would highly suggest not to come forward and lay a complaint.”

It has been MONTHS for NZ Labour to take a meaningful stand
BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Yup would love to see the people of Gaza able to hold elections instead of, uh, using their time to risk their lives to get food?

“Albanese said he wanted to see elections in Gaza as soon as possible, noting that it had been some time since an election was held by the Palestinian Authority.”
Labour says the Govt should follow the likes of Spain, Ireland, Norway and now Australia (and 75% of UN members states) and recognise Palestine now - to convey there must be a new settlement that recognises the Palestinian right to self-determination. 1/4 www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...
Foreign Minister Winston Peters raises recognition of Palestine as a state in Cabinet meeting
New Zealand will make a decision on whether to recognise Palestine as a state over the next month, Foreign Minister Winston Peters has confirmed.

I struggle with this being presented as two equivalent sides:

“one that thinks she was the best PM ever, and one who thinks she was the worst”

Please, Luke, could I see the data that shows the “sides” are comparable in size?
every time the government’s covid policies were polled they were overwhelmingly popular. even at the height of the media’s anti-MIQ hysteria a good majority backed the government. and even now the former government is notching up Ws. this must hurt for the media lol www.thepost.co.nz/politics/360...

Why is the MINISTER FOR MENTAL HEALTH speaking as if waitlists for mental health services is outside of his control

"There are not many organisations that can get our young people off waitlists into counselling often within just a few days,"

HOW ABOUT THE, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM
I can't even get angry any more. I'm just really, really, really sad that organisations who work so hard for our comunities are on their knees & this organisation continues to be funded when the numbers they supply don't give a full story of whether they work or not.
