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?

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

Electricity Authority: New Regulation Strengthens Protections For Medically Dependent Consumers

Green Party: Co-Leaders Announce Plans To Launch Green Budget This Year

New Zealanders care about each other and the planet we live on. Our Green Budget will lay out the plan for an economy that respects and protects those things, instead of exhausting and exploiting both, says Green Party co-leader and spokesperson for for Finance Chlöe Swarbrick.

NZDSN: Minimum Wage Increase Another Step Backwards For Disability Support Providers

So when wages go up but funding stays the same, that creates an alarming problem. The difference has to come from somewhere, whether that’s deferring maintenance and training, going into debt or not paying the increased rate – which is entirely illegal.

Green Party: Report Highlights Urgent Need For “Life-Changing” Free Dental Care

For decades, successive governments have chosen to exclude dental care from the public health system. This is a political choice–and different choices can be made. No one should have to suffer because they can’t afford to see a dentist.
