Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Crazy cvid years clearly visible... just look at those excessive subsidies to, errrm, keep businesses afloat and support our creaking health system. Spend on social protections hit 13% of GDP in 2022! Numbers not seen since 2011 🤔. Oh, and in 2025 after RBNZ & Govt tanked the economy.

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else. We mustn’t let this war do so.

What I found most telling in this story is that the Government *knew* they had to hide this from the public. They were so worried it would get out that they didn't do a regulatory impact statement, or even tell their own MPs until a just before they announced it.

This is horrifying! Family members of some of the people sent to do hard labor in a Salvadoran prison by Trump confirm their loved ones weren't members of a gang. One woman said her brother got a tattoo of a rose in Dallas, and because of that they accused him of being a gang member.
Anyelo had told his sister on Friday night that he would be deported to Venezuela, she said in a phone interview with Reuters from Texas.
Solanyer said her brother had been detained on January 31 after an appointment at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. He had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border illegally with Solanyer and another sister in November 2023 and had been released to pursue a claim for asylum.
Solanyer said an ICE officer told her that her brother was detained because of a tattoo that linked him to Tren de Aragua, a violent gang with Venezuelan prison origins that has spread through the Americas. She said the tattoo depicted a rose and that he had gotten it in a tattoo parlor in Dallas.

PM joins NZ First's 'anti-woke crusade'


Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has joined New Zealand First's anti-woke crusade and says he's open to adopting some of his coalition partner's ideas.

New Zealand First last week proposed new legislation which it said would end "woke left-wing social engineering and diversity targets" in the public sector.

Christopher Luxon told reporters the government has plans to overhaul the Public Service Act to ensure it is a "meritocracy".

He said he would look at New Zealand First's bill to see whether it could be incorporated.When we took the keys to the place, it was pretty woke, and it's entirely appropriate that we actually look at, what else we can do to make sure the public service delivers."

Luxon said Public Service Minister Judith Collins was "definitely not woke".

Speaking to media later, Collins agreed with Luxon's assessment, declaring herself to be "the least woke person" around.

"People work really hard, in my experience, and they really do need to be looked at as humans, not just as putting labels on people," she said.

"People want respect. They don't want labels."
