Currently the gender pay gap sits at 8.6%, but for Pasifika women they have an 18% pay gap in comparison to Pākeha men - that's 82c earned by a Pasifika woman for ever $1 earned by a Pākeha man. #MindTheGap
In 2016 the gender pay gap for Pasifika women was the lowest for women, at only 67%. #nzpol

We spend $150,000 per prisoner per year in NZ. Imagine if we could go back in time and give that $150,000 to the family of that prisoner at the moment of their birth.

I know National like to say that they're the political party that supports business, but I think they're the political party that shores up failing businesses by fucking over the rest of us. Business-eficeries.

The real challenge with being from a marginalised community and being a public servant, is that’s really fucking hard to be politically neutral when the government is politicising your very existence

Imagine being the kind of person who just genuinely believes being paid fairly is... unfair.
Honestly the weird-ass way so many business folks seem to have almost religious faith in the right & demonise left no matter how objective data says the economy is performing at any time is one of this country’s most significant roadblocks to progress. www.rnz.co.nz/news/busines...
Majority of restaurant owners want fair pay legislation repealed, survey finds
Restaurateurs are saying scrapping fair pay legislation should be among the top priorities of the new government.

Incredible. Bandai released a stupid Gunpla NFT metaverse thing, but they didn’t secure or encrypt the files…so there are now just full-on trade-secret CAD files out there of MG kits, including unreleased ones, ready for 3D printing or bootlegging

Look I know you have a lot on your plate right now and it’s stressing you out but I’m gonna need you to abandon it all to lie still and become unconscious for about eight hours and if you can’t relax enough to do that your brain will destroy itself and everything will be so much worse. Sweet dreams!

I don't think any MPs should own anything they can change laws to make money from, actually. From any party. Put all your shit in something really boring and untouchable for 3 years. A term deposit? Savings bonds?
