Gordon Campbell: On School Lunches, And The Coalition Government Eating The Young

The school lunches saga gets worse by the day. Bland, repetitive menus, failures in heating, failures in timely delivery, failures to deliver halal meals that are truly halal, endangering children who have known allergies by giving them food that may contain the triggering ingredients, etc etc. If ACT leader David Seymour can’t/won’t now admit that this brainchild of his is a total disaster...what more evidence pray, does he need? Do children have to die in the school cafeteria before Seymour will admit the error of his ways, and revert to the old system, as previously funded?

NZ Police: New Zealand Police Involved In Global Operation Targeting AI-generated Child Sexual Abuse Material

The Online Child Exploitation Across New Zealand Team (OCEANZ) are conducting enquiries into potential offending in New Zealand. At this time no arrests have been made in New Zealand. While there were no real-life child victims in this case, AI-generated abuse material is a growing issue for Police around the world and there is a growing focus on those responsible for its creation.

FIRST Union: Minister Goldsmith - Retail Workers Are Not Your Free Cops

Retail workers are already systematically underpaid, concerned about their futures, and worried about going to work against a backdrop of increasing violence and abuse in their workplaces. You do not solve that problem, or the problem of retail crime, by making retail workers responsible for personally policing theft in stores - you make the prospect of working in these jobs even less appealing.

Whaikaha Ministry of Disabled People: New Disability Stats Of Vital Importance

Stats NZ’s Household Disability Survey, updated for the first time in more than a decade, provides a vital insight into the make-up of the disabled population, the barriers they face, and how improvements can be made.
