Were Etu union delegates threatened at a select committee?

Who Really is Judging the Poor?
Families living in poverty, those who rely on food banks have internalised the overt, covert and inadvertent negative discourse that keeps the poverty conversation focused on individual blame, while ignoring the systemic causes of the problem. ‘Two incomes not enough for Christchurch family seeking food…

Steaming cow poo.
It's not simply the obvious nonsense of the claim made by the Guardian and some researchers involved in a study looking at the environmental costs of various food production that pisses me off. It's the fact that their supposed solution rests on simple individual consumer…

Simon Bridges, the three strikes law and the Bill of Rights
National obviously desperately want to divert attention away from the Housing Corp methamphetamine fiasco. After five days of continuous bad news who can blame them. There is no upside for them. Either they were incompetent because they did not know what was happening, incompetent because…

Labour does not want to let them all out
The three strikes legislation, the brainchild of dead baby identity stealing former ACT MP David Garrett, looks like it will soon be no more. The legislation was a sports slogan masquerading as a serious penal policy. Its genesis is in the US of A where…

National’s strategy on the Housing Corp P fiasco

Gluckman: Methamphetamine policy was a crock
One of the many sensible early steps taken by Phil Twyford was to reverse Housing Corporation's insane policy on methamphetamine. Under the last Government it had a policy that any trace found in a Housing Corporation unit would start the process of getting the person…
