Modern slavery exists, and it exists in NZ
An estimated 50 million people worldwide are victims of modern slavery. That includes workers in Aotearoa.
Modern slavery exists, and it exists in NZ: It’s easy to think of slavery as an issue confined to the past, and something that couldn’t possibly exist in modern-day New Zealand. But that’s a misconception, one which UoA’s Christina Stringer is fighting.

During the height of case counts we had around 15k cases daily. Without mask wearing you can pretty much double or triple that for a more accurate measure

In exchange for the hostages, Israel would agree to a three-to-five-day pause "in place" in the fighting, increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, and the release of an unspecified number of women and children held in Israeli prisons.
Western journalists will use phrases like this as if it's normal and not also hostage-taking, a war crime that has been going on for decades.

Yup. No one gives a fuck about anyone else. And that's why things will get worse and also people who are disabled will die

Einstein was sure right about capitalism when he talked about how it would erode social cohesion due to a focus on individualism.

The food in Japan is just as poisoned as everywhere else.
They have a huge pesticide use issue among other things. It's not the fucking food

you fix shoplifting by increasing wages and lowering rents. shoplifting is a downstream effect of wage theft.

Especially typical of Seymour&Luxon, it’s all okay if they’re doing it whether it’s harassing public servants (Kuriger), threatening violence (Seymour) or wasteful spending. Luxon took a limo a couple of 100 metres on the taxpayer, how anyone could believe his fiscal prudence b/s is beyond me.

This is why Noor has been offline. And I'm too suicidal to help right now. And I'm not sure if I'll ever get better at this point.

Commissioner General of UNRWA:
▪️What I saw in the Gaza Strip I will never forget
▪️ Displaced children of Gaza struggle to obtain a little food and water
▪️ The displaced in Gaza are living in tragic conditions due to the collective punishment imposed on an entire people.

▪️ 70% of the population of the southern Gaza Strip cannot obtain clean water
▪️ It is unfortunate that an international organization resorts to begging for fuel, as our agency is currently doing.
