Probably suicide counts are the best way to measure mental health distress at that time. Although they are probably undercounts since there was still quite a stigma to committing suicide.
Selling the airport shares is insane. You don't sell something that is giving you a profit unless it's for something that makes you a bigger profit. Give a man a fish and he eats for one day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for life. Someone wants Auckland...
Wikipedia has a nice page on how gender evolved from it's meaning as terminology in describing language to it's use in academia to talk about the socio-political roles of women rather than the use of sex, as in the science/medical sphere, where it's about ...
You'd actually think there had been a lot of govt focus on Auckland rail given they are spending $5.493 billion on the City Rail Link, on top of all the work they have previously done to link up the south and east/west rail networks. But Aucklanders gotta ...
That's because, almost 60 years ago, they were using gender to have a different meaning then it has today. People separated into groups by sex or gender gave identical groupings but sex was related to their physical being while gender related to their ...
But some cultures could calculate square roots and some couldn't and that made a difference in what they could build. And buildings matter to culture - for law, government and arts.
I don't think it's that. I think they are trying to give children the tools to use as adults to fight back against people who want to impose an idealogical position on adult minds.
After adjusting for socio-economic factors, private schools and states schools have similar outcomes. You don't get a better education at a private school, you get a more advantaged network. I had a quick browse through the docs. I don't think they are ...

I'm trying to take a step back because a vast majority seems to have got firmly on one side or the other and believes they are completely right so the other side is completely wrong. And the extreme opinions of a few people seem to be making usually ...
I have two relatives who have done these tests. The thing about them is that they don't matter - there is no incentive for the kids to try. Ask a bunch of 14/15 year old boys to spend 2 hours doing tests that mean nothing to them then a majority are not ...
Ross Ihaka (one of the originators of R, along with the Canadian, Robert Gentleman) is Māori but does just being Māori mean that what you do comes from Mātauranga Māori? The R programming language is an implementation of the S programming language and S ...
From a health perspective the mandates were absolutely the right thing. The mandates made the unmotivated get their jab and there were way more of them then the vaccine-opposed. However, it gave a way for the people with very toxic views to rile up the ...
I agree - Labour/National have very different voter patterns for men and women. The misogyny was leveraged to draw male voters back to National.
National haven't opened their mouths yet so there is nothing to put people off yet. Once they start trying to talk people into their ideas, I think people will go "You tried that, it failed, haven't you got anything new?" and the tide will gently swing ...
3 waters is a dead issue in the cities. Small pockets in the rural areas might be making a lot of heat and noise but they have turned people off.
I think it's the perfect amount of time for a new leader. Enough time to get bedded in and to show their stuff before campaigning starts. Grant wants to keep his hands on the rudder of the economy. I personally like Hipkins. He's erudite, quick-witted and ...
That's pretty much what I wanted to come and say. I think her timing was perfect. No rumor mills - just a neat, clean end. And time for the next leader to give themselves bedded in before the election. I wish her and her family all the best.
Surely, it was Jacinda herself.
Why? The commentators were totally inaccurate in both prediction from current events and based on history. We should all hope that Gosman can find more reliable people to give him their opinions.
You can't look at how Wayne Brown had acted since being in office and say that race had nothing to do with it.
You need to link to the actual image and not to the page the image is on. Facebook won't give you a link to the actual image. (Presumably they want all their "branding" around posts.) You need to go to a website that hosts images, upload the image, open ...
A little tedious but you can right click on the image and choose "open image in new tab" on firefox - options will vary with browser. That displays the image alone. You can resize it, if nesc, using zoom functions - ctrl/mouse wheel spin on my computer - ...

On stuff it reports that the Chief Ombudsman has found that government officials did not adequately take into account the “very real impact” the MIQ allocation system would have on people’s lives. https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politics/130733059/...
Because a huge concrete edifice, spending most of it's time >99% empty, is a great thing to plonk on the waterfront.
Examples, please.
The problem is now because covid-19 is now. We can't wait 3-5 years time when college kids leaving school this term get through a nursing program and are competent enough to work. Or in 20 years when immigrant kids starting school now get through a medical...
So, what are you doing to save the health system? Are you still wearing masks so you don't pass covid-19 around? Are you still cleaning your hands before entering and leaving any new location? Hospitals are under stress because covid-19 hasn't magically ...
Many leaders/almost leaders have started out on their path as activists - Nelson Mandela, Bernie Sanders, Jeremy Corbyn.
