Polity: New Zealand and the TPP: “Or…, in reply to BenWilson,
free trade in general
TPP is not a 'free trade' agreement.

Polity: New Zealand and the TPP: “Or…, in reply to BenWilson,
I find it pretty scary to think about what it is that we have to trade, given that we're already about as open to trade as it is possible to get.
NZ may be naked but we were only grabbing one ankle in Maui. Timmy is limbering up for a lunge at the other one.

Polity: New Zealand and the TPP: “Or…, in reply to Nick Russell,
I just hope that whatever the Government ends up negotiating is better than nothing
The IP concessions alone make that very unlikely if we think of our economic future lying elsewhere than exporting raw products.

I really appreciate what Kirk is doing with this event, and anybody who has organised one knows how much work it takes and how much it costs just to break even. Let's show a bit of respect please. We all have our own ways of contiibuting to change.

Good to hear from you, Gordon.

Access: Disability as a wicked policy problem, in reply to Kumara Republic,
the victim-blaming policy that's been proposed in Britain, where unemployment threatens to be reduced to a psychological disorder.
Which is what Marc has been posting about so consistently. Their fundamental flaw is believing that disability is fixable, and that it is located in us.
The 'answer' therefore means forcing individuals to change, rather than looking to the other enablers of an employment relationship or indeed, of a life. Unless there is substantial ongoing investment in changing discrimatory employer attitudes, it won't matter how skilled or chirpy disabled job applicants are.
The Welfare Working Group that this government used to come up with its income support changes had only one member with disability knowledge, and unfortunately for us all she is a professor of rehabilitation.

and, offering to do Police Checks for potential carers for the client for free.
couldn't see that in the email you linked to.

Access: Disability as a wicked policy problem, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
offering free services to carers and those needing support.
But where is the money coming from...this is a limited company?
Interesting. Didn't see the word 'free' anywhere. Based on the limited range of people in the photos on their website, perhaps they are targetting families who can afford to pay privately? I can see how a web-based system like this might be a cheaper way for families to organise care than the intermediary organisations currently available, in any case.
