Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Shouldn’t the Government be spending more?

September 9, 2019

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s KiwiBuild reset disaster

September 5, 2019

The Government has been widely panned over its major announcement yesterday on housing. There are a few positive takes on the “reset”, but generally it has been viewed as an embarrassing backdown at best, or at worst a sell-out of those needing the housing crisis addressed. One political journalist has even branded yesterday’s announcement as ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s KiwiBuild reset disaster" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/09/05/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-labours-kiwibuild-reset-disaster/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: Labour’s KiwiBuild reset disaster">Read more</a>

By Sri Krishnamurthi  A new Human Rights Measurements Initiative (HRMI) is being rolled out in the Pacific but not all governments are expected to react positively to its findings. “Human rights have gone largely unmeasured for the last 70 years because governments typically do not want to submit to this kind of scrutiny,” said HRMI ... <a title="Pacific govts may be ‘hostile’ to human rights measurements, says expert" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2019/09/05/pacific-govts-may-be-hostile-to-human-rights-measurements-says-expert/" aria-label="Read more about Pacific govts may be ‘hostile’ to human rights measurements, says expert">Read more</a>
