Shafiur is absolutely right here. These questions haven't been answered. & now these refoulments have started nor have any of the questions about how the well-being of those on this program will be monitored once in Myanmar Cause chances of more than a few of them being conscripted or worse is high

Journalists are crowing 'what's new?!' because they have forgotten that there is a second draft of history, and don't seem to recognise that a book like this, is it. This govt has literally forced the TPU into the *school curriculum* in its ideological vandalism, well here's the primary reference.

The NZ First "Health" policy contains what I, in my personal opinion, would describe as cloning the US Administration Wellness Anti-Vax program of work. www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

Fund New Zealand scientists to assess nutritional interventions for preventing and treating mental illness
Remove Medsafe and Pharmac barriers to "recognised safe nutrients"
Invest in hospital trials to assess the effectiveness of intravenous vitamin C pre- and post-surgery for preventing and treating infections
Fund a review of vitamin D and determine optimal levels for maintaining health
Invest in agriculture to improve productivity, soil health, sustainability and resilience while researching practical alternatives to potentially harmful agricultural sprays
Provide more support for organic food producers.

The women's revolution in Myanmar goes largely unremarked upon in the legacy media, but these young women struck a decisive blow against the junta yesterday. They have built a world in the mountains where they could be free in a way the state there would never have allowed them to be.
