On Newshub and economic voice
It is good to hear that Michael Wood, now E Tū and on the side of television workers, is seeking to ensure that labour law is properly applied to the current proposals for Newshub’s closure. It is a case of “walking the talk” by an…

A sustainable environment should be a human right
James Shaw's New Zealand Bill of Rights (Right to Sustainable Environment) Amendment Bill appears in Parliament's order paper today. It is well down the list so I expect that it will take some time to reach, probably months although there is talk about it being…

What if climate collapse comes much sooner than we expected?
As a gardener, I've noticed one of the features of this summer's El Nino pattern has been the greater than normal differences between daytime highs and nighttime lows. I came across a comment on social media a while back saying that a bigger than normal…
