GUEST BLOG: Anonymous – the horror of dealing with WINZ
Heartless and sad to think the giant room full of WINZ staff can not see the right thing to do. Took me 1 visit 1 morning to see how needless that is. 5 security! More than any bank!

GUEST BLOG: Lois Griffiths – PALESTINIAN LIVES MATTER !!!
Another unarmed Palestinian shot by a heavily armed military that boasts that they know exactly what they are doing. She’s not the first to be killed , not even the first woman, not the first paramedic. Maybe the first woman paramedic to be targeted.

GUEST BLOG: Willie Jackson – National’s contamination hysteria aimed at state tenants
We had state tenants kicked out of state homes living at our local marae when Te Puea opened their doors to the homeless in 2016. We saw the impact of this policy, and it was needlessly mean. Grandmothers having kids taken from them, mothers and children being forced to sleep on the floor, vulnerable families put through needless stress and harm.

GUEST BLOG: Philip Patston – Anti-social housing – it’s here but no-one’s saying it

GUEST BLOG: The High Cost of Fast Fashion – Is it time for a revolution and mandatory grading?
As Kiwis, we like to think of these issues as ‘far away’ or not our problem to own. However, the truth is many New Zealand consumers purchase imported clothing and are therefore contributing to this problem without realising it. Rather than remaining naive, we propose that Kiwis become more accountable for their actions.

GUEST BLOG: Mike Lee – Trams to Auckland airport – is this really a Super idea?
I trust the government is getting good advice on this proposal because the worry is that when it comes to choice of rail mode to the airport, it clearly doesn’t have good advice at all. Opting for widely criticised light rail (trams) instead of heavy rail (trains) to the airport is a very high-risk call; one taken on dubious technical advice and without a business case.
It also out of line with international best practice.
