Fair Pay Agreements – a no-brainer
CTU President Richard Wagstaff has a great opinion piece in the Dom Post this morning pointing out why Fair Pay Agreements are good for business as well as Kiwi workers: Remember when you could pay a mortgage, keep the kitchen cupboard full, take the kids…

Sonic Attack
It seems like an employee at the US consulate in Guangzhou heard himself losing his marbles. Seriously. As reported by The Guardian, dutifully echoing and reinforcing a The New York Times article, he had "been hearing sounds like “marbles bouncing and hitting a floor” since April last year."…

The Carbon Zero Legislation
Minister Shaw has just put out his discussion paper for the Carbon Zero legislation. Sometimes you never know what difference your voice is going to make. I know from working in both central and local government that since the late 1990s, public submissions really do…

Dud advice
The methamphetamine scandal continues day after day. I almost feel sorry for National waking up to the same bad news of incompetence, lack of understanding and anti poor people belligerence their handling of the issue clearly displays. And unlike days of yore where they had…

Boilover in Northcote?
The Northcote by election ought to be a walk in the park for National. It has been a Nationally held seat since 2005 and Jonathan Coleman's 6,210 candidate vote majority ought to be plenty. But things are getting quite strange in Northcote. There is clearly…
