NZers, you're probably seeing the campaign to look at a minimum age for kids to be on social media. I think the real questions go like this:

Do you trust social media companies like Meta and X to hold, manage and protect personally-identifying information about our young people?

or...

Do you trust (and want) the government to put tax spend into creating and running a mechanism to hold, manage and protect personally-identifying information about our young people?

Because if you're a no on both of those, we don't need to talk about whether a minimum age is a good idea.

The irony of Shane Jones complaining about burly men pillaging the seabed who won’t back down when there’s quick money to be made

Working women in the UK have just one £1billion in compensation after winning equal pay claims, and there’s more to come.

The Luxon government took that option away from New Zealand women so they could give handouts to landlords.

Greenpeace has upset Fonterra’s Shareholders’ Fund meeting at the dairy giant’s Auckland HQ, establishing a ‘nitrate emergency quarantine zone’ around the building and ‘returning’ 2000 litres of river slime at the entrances.

'"In my lifetime, we're seeing the drift into the South Island of fisheries resources that have been historically located in the North Island," Shane Jones said.'

I assume he then continued, "And so, this government is committed to extracting more fossil fuels to make it cheaper for my donors to chase the fish further and further south."

We brought 2000kg of slime to Fonterra HQ to protest drinking water pollution!

NZ has too many cows, and they're causing a nitrate crisis in lakes, rivers, and drinking water. But Fonterra's business model puts profit ahead of the health of lakes, rivers, and rural communities. While Fonterra makes billions in revenue, rural people are left to pick up the cost of finding alternative water sources.

Worth reminding ourselves that the last government had its priorities right.
