"Barry and Jason chose to construct a pretty ugly beast out of their scraps. The Herald chose to parade it. Then they stepped back and let everyone else feed it, until the whole thing became something big and real-seeming enough to cause genuine uncertainty and fear, and to prompt genuine attempts to do the proper journalistic work of understanding what this new health initiative is all about."https://e-tangata.co.nz/media/the-real-racist-tools-were-in-media-not-health/

"The experience in the UK ... has been disastrous in terms of quality of facilities, quality of care and fiscally - they're a big drain now on the health dollar in the UK."

https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/545706/the-house-climate-change-adaptation-parliament-asks-the-small-questions It is now 129 years since the Swedish scientist Svante Arrhenius warned that doubling atmospheric carbon dioxide would raise surface temperatures by 5-6°C, a rise that would threaten the extinction of humanity. #NZPol #climate

To repeat: in a situation where, as the IRD found, the ultra-rich people are currently paying less than half the taxes on their sources of wealth as average Kiwis are paying on their wages, such a tax looks entirely fair. To anyone willing to abandon this country if asked to contribute a little more of their wealth to serve the greater good...then one could easily be forgiven for saying: “Goodbye, and good riddance.”Ian Powell..on the money 😉 https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2505/S00054/on-wealth-taxes-and-capital-flight.htm#nzpol #wealthtax #byebyerichies

At some point, Ukraine’s allies – including New Zealand – are going to have to summon the courage to call out the Trump administration for its bad faith expressions of feigned concern, and its related willingness to aid and abet Putin over Ukraine, and Netanyahu over Gaza.Laughing incredulously at Trump may make some people feel superior, but he – and his pal in the Kremlin – are having the last laugh.https://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL2505/S00054/on-wealth-taxes-and-capital-flight.htm #nzpol #ukraine

Waititi issued a national call to action:“There are still 25 days left. Flood the system. Overwhelm it with our voices. Let them choke on the very democracy they’re trying to dismantle.“Rally your whānau, your hapū, your iwi, your communities. Let’s shut this bill down the way we shut down every other attempt to erase us. Submissions are our weapons- use them” concluded Waititi.#nzpol #RSB #ElbowsUpAotearoa #toitutetiriti

https://www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/story/greenpeace-dumps-2-metric-tonnes-of-slime-at-fonterra-hq-before-shareholders-meeting/ A growing body of evidence shows nitrate in drinking water is linked to health problems including, bowel cancer, preterm birth and blue baby syndrome. “New Zealand has too many cows. Fonterra’s oversized dairy farms use too much synthetic nitrogen fertiliser to feed them, leading to cow urine and fertiliser ending up in groundwater supplies, and eventually drinking water. Fonterra relies on an intensive dairying model to maximise its profits, and this way of farming is making people sick,”
