You cannot criticise Trump and the Pacific solution to boat people coming to Australia at the same time? Both Trump and Amnesty International agree that certain developing countries are not very nice places to go to and the people there are rather rough and intolerant of outsiders.

The Sunday Star Times reported today that
The Government has ordered Statistics NZ to begin measuring the country’s gender pay gap… new Statistics Minister James Shaw believed there was an onus on his department to gather the data, so the Government could fix it.
It was too early to know exactly how it was going to be measured, Shaw said in a written statement.
Not sure to what to make of this because extensive data is already collected.
