Gordon Campbell: Gordon Campbell On Trump’s Tariff Wars

Trump being Trump, it won’t come as a shock to find that he regards a strong US currency (bolstered by high tariffs on everything made by foreigners) as a sign of America’s virility, and its ability to kick sand in the face of the world. Reality is a tad more complex – although no one really knows how this global tariff war is going to play out in the short term, let alone in the long run. On Saturday, Trump launched a tariff war with three of America’s biggest trading partners (25% for Mexico and Canada, and an added 10% for China.)

New Zealand Government: Online Portal For COVID-19 Inquiry Opens

“The portal is an easy way for members of the public to have their say to the Inquiry about how the response to the COVID-19 pandemic affected them, their families, and their businesses. The terms or reference covered by Phase 2 of the Inquiry includes the use of vaccines, lockdowns, testing, and public health materials,” says Minister of Internal Affairs Brooke van Velden.

Alternative Jewish Voices: Why Is Israel’s Head Of Infantry Doctrine Addressing A Jewish Community Leadership Gathering?

Alternative Jewish Voices asks its community to step back from uncritical militarism. It works hard to distinguish IDF accountability from the rights of Jewish New Zealanders. The UPJ’s actions blur the distinctions we are asking others to respect.

Te Pāti Māori: Our Tamariki Deserve Better Than Seymour's Slop

“What’s the difference between providing inedible food, and providing no food at all?” Said Te Pāti Māori spokesperson for Education Tākuta Ferris. This should have been thoroughly planned and tested before it was rolled out to ensure it worked for all tamariki. Instead, we have a system that has failed them, and now, it seems, no one wants to take responsibility.
