Why doesn’t @KiwibankNZ introduce lower margins on mortgage rates to show the big 4 Aussie banks the way? Ardern asked for this in 2022 and now it looks like commerce commission is getting involved. Leadership from our NZ bank could shortcut the nonsense

I’m totally baffled why we support multinationals through film subsidies and give low wage, high emission industries tax breaks, yet happily lose the kind of industry that can drive up productivity. The choice of minister put in charge says it all. 😭 nzherald.co.nz/business/cris…

This should be be a bigger deal. Health workers I know personally STILL do not have access to PPE as needed. Transparency from MoH and DHBs is needed. TBH this has eroded my trust in a govt I otherwise support. Covid-19: NZNO wants full review of PPE | RNZ rnz.co.nz/national/programme…

This is such a good idea, Aotearoa's cultural and astronomical winter celebration of renewal. The PM has hinted at more public holidays in NZ to encourage domestic tourism. Let's make Matariki one of them! our.actionstation.org.nz/pet… via @actionstation

Great policy, equitable, practical - what we need right now.

Parents of teens using discord: have you seen the level of hate and porn our children are exposed to? 1/5
I wish people wouldn’t use “Karen” as an insult, I know some wonderful people called Karen that don’t fit the stereotype at all. Isn’t doing this just kind of the same old problem all over again? Come on people!

Has anyone ever wondered if polarisation we are seeing in the world would be different if all social media had adopted an upvote/downvote system instead of likes? Discussion vs amplification.
OK it's bugging me. Trademe received 4.1m in wage subsidies, but this is a company that reported $96m in profit in 2018 - have they truly exhausted all avenues before lumping the taxpayer with this bill? We'll see when their annual report comes out.
I realised today that if your business continuity plan doesn’t include regular work from home trials, it’s not really a BCP. Great that many projects are continuing in the lockdown but sad to see some put on hold.

Does anyone know what is the simplest, legal and tax free model for sweat equity arrangements in NZ tech startups?
