As schadenfreudelicious as it is to see Seymour & the govt bleeding political capital about this daily, what must we do to get this contract cancelled? This is actively harming our kids and their prospects.

While I will always carry hurt for this, I am also an abolitionist and do not see that imprisonment serves communities or survivors. Honestly, this Bill could do so much more. Feedback on the Stalking and Harassment Amendment Bill closes on 13 February.

you can go to any city or town in new zealand and you’ll find a monument to decline: the ghostly, uncompleted seascape in auckland, the abandoned mills in ohakune, the eateries gone and going bust in wellington. and the government’s answer to all this? visas for foreign email workers lol

“The only ‘development’ that happened in our islands was sickness. The health consequences and cost of France’s nuclear bombs continue to be borne by our people, yet France still refuses to take responsibility for them.” — Tahitian anti-nuclear activist and politician Hinamoeura Morgant-Cross.

The next submission response is on the Employment Relations bill amendment, due next week; we can do better than master-servant relationships in workplaces so I wrote about that instead. Decolonise workplaces!

Economists are in the wilderness. Politicians and the public have rejected their advice on everything from trade to climate change. They held comparatively little sway under Biden, and stand to hold less under Trump. Can they find their way back to influence? #EconSky www.nytimes.com/2025/01/10/b...

A terrific take on the demise of neoliberal globalization of which Trump's geopolitics is just another symptom. But Milanovic does not delve into today's neoliberal continuities in the enduring support for plutocrats, monopolists, and investor class rentiers... except to critique the FT mainstream!
