Reinstating pay equity is the right thing to do and is also the absolute bare minimum to restore the thing that should have been a given in a country that (allegedly) values equity. Saw some media framing as “but how will it be paid for” - I don’t know my dude, how on earth do we manage to pay men?

''The report recommended five changes to policy, including investing in primary prevention from the age of six and recognising misogyny as a form of violent extremism in national counter-extremism frameworks."

I’ve never been interested in bookbinding (despite librarian training) but I did a short class on it at a recent craft camp and it’s kinda cool.

What’s with cars not stopping at pedestrian crossings lately? Yes it slows you down. But it’s also against the law (also dangerous and rude) to not stop.

I don't think I've ever seen a government experience this much Finding Out in its first term. It's not just bad decisions plus bad luck, but a very specific kind of decisions where they trade away costs that they could blame on Labour for risks that are squarely blamed on them.

It sounds like they’ve had quite a bit of advice and offers of help. TBH you could google ‘how to handle a data hack’ follow advice that comes up and do a better job than they have. This will be used as a case study on what not to do.

This is a really terrible press release. Shades of DARVO. Lots of minimising and deflection with a side order of smoke and mirrors. Also, bolding half of a word doesn’t speak well of their attention to detail. managemyhealth.co.nz/mmh-cyber-br...

The MMH breach is a cluster. It looks like a very trivial issue (unsecured S3 bucket) which is cloud security 101. The company are handling it very badly with a lack of transparency and delaying in contacting users. I’ll be asking my GP practice to change providers.

Molly ~ madradish @sheepassisted.bsky.social · 05/01/2026

My partner emailed our GP this morning and got a call from them 10 mins later (pre 9am). He let them know that he’s an IT professional who has seen a number of hacks and that this one was being handled very badly by MMH. The GP manager was very interested to hear that.

I have a manage my health account. I have not heard from them yet about whether any of my information has been compromised. However when I just logged in I was interested to spot a new 2FA feature. 😒 Talk about the wrong priorities. I’ll ask my GP about changing systems.
