Anti-Poverty Groups Call on Gov to Stop Dragging Feet on Income Support

Wednesday, 17 March 2021, 4:16 pm The Child Poverty Action Group, ActionStation, and an advocate with personal experience today jointly called for the Government to end dithering on increasing income support. The coalition today presented a 8000-strong petition urging the Government to put children and whānau wellbeing at the heart of the welfare system to the Social Services and Community select committee, which heard the submission almost 18 months after it was first published. “The world has changed dramatically since 2019. But it has changed in ways that show even more acutely how important our recommendations are,” ActionStation’s Ruby Powell said. Child Poverty

Govt told not to wait for data to fix child poverty Newshub 26/02/2021 Crystal Wu © Video - Newshub Nation; Image - Newshub Nation Watch: Assistant Children s Commissioner Glenis Philip-Barbara and Child Poverty Action Group s Janet McAllister on the panel. The Assistant Māori Children s Commissioner says the Government should just get on with fixing Māori and Pasifika poverty issues rather than wait for more data to come out. Figures released by Stats NZ on Tuesday showed as of June 2020, almost one in five Māori children (19 percent) lived in households going with six or more of the 17 basic needs. The rate was higher for Pacific children at 25.4 percent, compared with 11 percent for all New Zealand children.

Does a cold winter mean fewer bugs in the summer?

Does a cold winter mean fewer bugs in the summer? Philip Kiefer © Provided by Popular Science Mosquitoes are hardier than you might like. As freezing temperatures finally lift across the central US, I’ve got a burning question about what it left behind. In all honesty, it’s something that I’m always wondering about: what happened to the bugs? This month’s freeze is unusual for our lifetimes, but it’s happening against the backdrop of a warm period without precedent. And as the climate warms, insects and other creepy crawlies have begun to shift north, taking advantage of milder winters and hotter summers. Some of them are poised to chew down forests, while others are implicated in the spread of debilitating illness. So when I hear about record-setting cold, the kind that used to be more common, part of me wonders if we’ve earned a little more time.

Who s the wokester? « The Standard

Its caucus discipline is still shot and Judith Collins clearly has no control over her MPs. The latest piece of evidence is Simon Bridges attacking Police Commissioner Andy Coster by describing him as being “wokester” and saying he is soft on crime. Bridges’ portfolios are Justice, Pike River reentry, water and Maori Crown relations. Simeon Brown has the responsibility for Police. So it is pretty surprising that he is delving into personal attacks on the country’s top police officer. National Party MP Simon Bridges has taken aim at “wokester” police Commissioner Andy Coster, claiming he is more concerned with being nice than “actually catching criminals”.
