We have reviewed the evidence and can confirm that repeal of s19 of the Prostitution Reform Act, which effectively bans temporary Visa holders from working in the sex industry in New Zealand, is being called for and has been on the agenda ever since s19 ...
We are not related to Family First and our submission was prepared independently though the reference to the recent research did come from their source. I agree that the provisions of the Prostitution Reform Act regarding monitoring which allowed for ...
In the meantime, I am happy for that paragraph to be removed from the Standard post.
There was no deliberate tactic to include unsubstantiated material or to smear others. I have referred the issue about the Greens position to the original author. We will remove the reference if it cannot be substantiated and we will advise Reem Alsalem. ...
No one is suggesting criminalising "the girls" as you put it. The argument is about stopping the demand as in the Nordic model.
As you know Darien, I have been working on pay equity for employed midwives for the past 5 years and before that for decades advocating for working women to have respect and fair pay and conditions, in the union movement and in the Labour Party, including ...
Just today, two men have been found guilty of drugging, assaulting and raping young women, including young women working in their bars, incidents that occurred predominantly in the women's toilets. That is why we need to protect women and our single-sex ...
As you know Darien, I have been working on pay equity for employed midwives for the past 5 years and before that for decades advocating for working women to have respect and fair pay and conditions, in the union movement and in the Labour Party, including ...
This is simply not true. She is a working class woman who is a former Labour Party supporter, who speaks for women to retain our rights and who gives a platform for many women to speak across the UK.
So far there has been no response from the MSM, including on this UN Statement which I would have thought was very relevant to our experience in the week leading up to 25 March with constant allegations of Nazism, on the day of the Albert Park riot by the ...
Sorry, don't have time.
What the writer doesn't mention is that the NZ/Australian Psychologists' professional association joined in with the attack against the organisers of this conference in Nelson. Shameful. I hope they all have red faces now that the Cass report is out and ...
You do not know that the complainant was not advised to go to the Police, but chose not to. From what I have read the complainants wanted the Party to deal with their complaints. I have what is called these days "lived experience" of sexual abuse. There is...
The Labour Party Council has a sub- committee that hears complaints about members. There had been complaints about bullying from Young Labour around the time of the Summer Camp incidents at Waihi, and after the investigating into these, there was an ...
I suggest you google what a nominee is.
Wouldn't Mana stepping aside in Waiariki achieve the same goal? After all a Labour win in Waiariki would deprive national of one of its potential partners making it very difficult for them to form a Government. But I don't hear Mana or Laila Harre asking ...
The Affiliates did not support an increase in the superannuation age at the recent LP Conference.Nor did we support the TPP.
No one will know the results of each College until all results are known on Sunday.
How ridiculous can you get? Union members are meeting by the thousands to protest against John Key's changes to the Employment Relations Act, public sector workers have had a virtual wage freeze, inequality is growing along with higher unemployment and in ...
The vote next February was already scheduled. And all this talk about just 14 MPs choosing the leader is nonsense (especially when you realise that in December it only took 18 MPs to make that decision). The point about a trigger is that it gives the ...
I was at the Conference and at the affiliates meeting before. The affiliates leadership was supporting the Council position on a 50%+1 threshold to send the vote on the leadership to the wider membership. Then one after another, rank and file union members...
Thank you for highlighting the successful campaigns in South Auckland which included tried and true methods of street corner meetings, sign waving, hoardings on every fence we could find (painting the town red), but also the new street captains project in ...
Glad someone noticed something different happened in South Auckland. We actually increased our share of the Party vote and increased our electorate vote against the national trend. Not only that we had a new candidate in Manurewa in Louisa Wall. Just so ...
I too was at the meeting this afternoon. As I had already heard from reports round the country at other meetings, David Cunliffe and Nanaia Mahuta were the clear choice to lead our Party. Honestly I felt sorry for David Shearer. He simply doesn't have it. ...
The bus was parked outside the Brentwood Hotel in Kilbirnie overnight, and I was impressed with the early hour at which it took off this morning - presumably to pick up Key at the NZRAF terminal after his TV3 debate in Auckland the previous night. ...
Swampy you've obviously got no understanding of the reason ACC exists as it does. Read Hazel Armstrong's new book "Blood on Coal". Firstly you will learn that the National Party commissioned the Woodhouse Report in 1967. Read on and you will see the ...
