Scoop Image: Avalanche On Mount Cook

Image By Norman MacKay

"Recently in the Mount Cook area on my way to the Hooker glacier when I heard what turned out to be the start of a smallish avalanche. Luckily I had my camera at the ready and was able to get off one shot as the avalanche started. Truly spectacular New Zealand scenery."

Ian Powell: Getting Out Of The Current Health System Mess

Ian Powell discusses how New Zealand’s health system got into its current mess and how to get out of it.

Binoy Kampmark: More Guns, Less Butter - Starmer’s Defence Spending Splash

The urge to throw more money at defence budgets across a number of countries has become infectious. Spend, spend, spend is the theme, and the UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has shown himself willing to join this wasteful indulgence.

Binoy Kampmark: Macron’s Offer - France And The Delusions Of Nuclear Deterrence

Strategists talk in extravagant terms about the genuine prospect that nuclear weapons can make any one state safer, leading to some calculus of tolerable use. The French offer of replacing the US nuclear umbrella in Europe perpetrates similar deadly sins about deterrence.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: A Diagnosis And Prescription For The Polycrisis

The action of spontaneous, undirected attention quiets and cleanses the brain of its useless, accumulated content, allowing the mind to fall silent and participate in the consciousness of the cosmos.

Ramzy Baroud: International Law At A Crossroads - Can Gaza Spark A Global Reckoning?

Unfortunately, international law, which was in theory supposed to reflect global consensus, was hardly dedicated to peace or genuinely invested in the decolonisation of the South. As disturbing as all of this is, there is a silver lining, specifically an opportunity for the international legal and political system to be fixed based on new standards, justice that applies to all, and accountability

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - Five Top Resignations Just Coincidence?
