Today's ODT editorial is scathing of Brooke van Velden's determination to weaken NZ's workplace safety regulations, and to absolve employers from any responsibility when they kill or injure an employee.
Scathing!
It's worth a read.

Today's reminder of the insider threat involves a pharmacist in Maryland who over a period of 8 years or more, used keyloggers and installed spyware on about 400 computers at the University of Maryland Medical System so he could spy on female co-workers in private moments at work (such as changing clothes, breastfeeding their babies), and in their homes. He was reportedly fired in October 2024, and was able to get another job in another healthcare facility in Maryland because there has been no criminal charges filed against him yet and UMMS apparently didn't alert his new employer.
If Maryland law is like my state's laws, the hospital may be barred legally from revealing what happened if asked for a recommendation by the new employer. And it seems the Maryland state pharmacy board can't just suspend a license unless there's been a conviction, so the failure to have criminal charges filed already seems to have put more potential victims at risk.
Unsurprisingly, a potential class action lawsuit has already been filed against UMMS with six plaintiffs so far. There are estimates that there are more than 80 victims of the now-former employee.
Some of the media coverage on the case: https://thedailyrecord.com/2025/04/04/six-women-sue-umms-claiming-staffer-spied-on-them-after-security-breach/
