To be clear - if you are asking someone to work for less than the Living Wage (currently $22.75 p/hr in Aotearoa NZ) you are asking the worker to subsidise your business, possibly also the price of your product or service to the consumer.

What the hell is wrong with Andrew Little? He's claiming that an overhaul of our drug laws called for today by multiple public health and social service organisations can't happen now because it would *have to go to a referendum*. He needs to be told to sit down by his leader.

@publicaddress

The open letter today declared that drug use should be a health not a criminal matter. That was the view of the NZ Law Commission, which called for the repeal and replacement of MoDA. It was also supposedly the policy of the Labour Party before the 2017 general election.

@publicaddress

There have been three overarching drug laws in my lifetime. The one we've had since 1975 has been amended repeatedly. Little's own govt made two significant amendments to MoDA last term, and one in December. No referenda were required for any of that.

@publicaddress

Prohibition has failed, it isn't prevention, it just means a lack of control of harms. According to <checks notes> ANDREW LITTLE, SIX MONTHS AGO. Come on mate. Just stop this nonsense. newshub.co.nz/home/politics/…

Thanks to WINZ making it as hard as humanly possible for anyone to access a benefit, I only just found out (at the very end of my PhD) that all domestic PhD students in NZ (incl those on scholarships) qualify for a $100 p/w accom supplement 🙃

@flisaacs

Huuuuge PSA to other NZ PhD students!! I literally missed out on $15,000 which would have made it a lot less stressful trying to write a thesis while receiving well below minimum wage

@flisaacs

More deets for those who asked: it seems to be administrated through a WINZ/Studylink combo. You can apply for the supplement through WINZ in the same way as any other benefit. Studylink will then get in touch with you to confirm your study deets 🌾

@flisaacs

I've confirmed with with several current PhD students who have done this! They each heard of it by word of mouth. This definitely needs to be shared as widely as possible!! Being on a PhD wage sucks.

NZTA now employs 72 people in its communications team. Those salaries have leapt from $2.2m to $4.6m.

Many of those spin doctors would have been tied up with the agency’s recent rebrand, from ‘NZ Transport Agency’ to ‘NZ Transport Agency Waka Kotahi’.

Thomas Coughlan

@coughlthom

Here’s a good one for the comms vs. journalism file. One agency spends about 10% of RNZ’s entire annual budget on communications. Waka Kotahi isn’t even the whole transport sector (think local govt. and MoT).

Imagine what it’s like across the whole public sector.
