Stuff Circuit - gone. @NewshubNZ - gone. @SundayTVNZ - gone?! No way! It’s not ‘just about jobs.’ It’s about accountability, transparency, giving a voice to the diverse & voiceless. All who shout the loudest about ‘democracy’ - do something. This cannot happen.

Just a wee PSA to say that masking if you can, even if you don’t “have to” is super rad 💜
Your disabled, immune compromised, #HighRiskCovid19 friends are counting on you to keep us safe as our world continues to shrink.
So #Mask4YourMates !
Are you in?

I am fine with cosmetic, shampoo or vitamin warehouse but take the pharmacy out of it. Allowing Chemist Warehouse and the like in New Zealand is a backward step in our health care infrastructure. And Chemist = Pharmacist, no! That's old hat.
The increasing dominance of the Chemist Warehouse chain worries me if community pharmacists who understand their customers/patients health needs are being driven out of business. The CW founders possibly don’t care primarily about your health. smallbusinessbigmarketing.co…

Do we need a misogyny refresher course? It's not about hating women, it's about about "controlling and punishing women who challenge male dominance" (Kate Manne). Do we remember the impact of this? Women are less likely to want to participate in politics
