  1. Australia may be nasty to many NZrs but tend to treat their workers better than we do. NZ under neolib happily adopted by the National Party has concentrated on reducing wages so we are cheap and nasty, quite often.
    Our volunteer firefighters need to ask for the same ‘consideration’ from NZ government as has been offered to volunteer firefighters in NSW – up to $6,000. I don’t know if this includes the NZ professional firefighters that were over there working in the fire zones for many days. Do we pay for that?

    Author Paul Mason says the world order is being ripped to shreds by an alliance of ethnic nationalists, women-haters and authoritarian leaders who are harnessing the power of machines and algorithms to do it.
    He argues in his book Clear Bright Future: A Radical Defence of the Human Being that it’s not too late to stem the chaos and disorder.

    This will get even the most sluggish brain moving!
