Women's Pay Equity has been gutted: are you one of the 300,000 women (and men!) affected?
Melissa Ansell-Bridges, the National Secretary of the CTU, spoke with me about the far-reaching impacts the destruction of the Pay Equity laws will cause. It's not just about the 150,000 women immediately affected. It's about the 300K people whose incomes will be impacted. And it's not just about 2025, it's about financial injuries that will literally continue on for a decade. It's cooked.

"You're on your own."Malcolm Mulholland of Patient Voice Aotearoa takes us through the ins and outs of public bowel cancer screening in NZ. It's shittier than you might think.

An ex-gun lobbyist Govt Minister weakening NZ's Alcohol Policies? It's exactly as bad as it sounds
I speak with Andrew Galloway of Alcohol Healthwatch, and Dr Rose Crossin, a public health researcher, about the changes being made to alcohol laws that will make it much harder for local communities to fight back against the multibillion-dollar alcohol industry. It's a simple matter of People vs Profits. This is NZ's David vs Goliath story, and Goliath is winning.
Frontline Kiwi workers are struggling to pay for food and rent, while politicians are giving away billions to the very rich. Public services are being cut back, privatised, and sold off. This is not how you build a stronger, healthier, or safer society. It’s time to stop the vandalism and rebuild NZ.
Join Dr Gary Payinda and guests on The Frontline.
