Nurses reject government's latest pay offer, strikes back on the table Nurses have rejected the latest offer with the DHBs, with strikes planned for August and September now back on the table. Earlier this month, the Nurses Organisation union (NZNO) agreed to consider the government's pay offer, but it was rejected in a ballott which closed early this evening. The NZNO lifted a notice for a 24-hour strike on 29-30 July so members could consider and vote on an amended offer, but strikes planned for 19 August and 9-10 September will go ahead "unless an acceptable offer is made". NZNO lead advocate David Wait said that while the DHBs had made promising moves on pay, the offer contained "too many ambiguities". "Members have been clear from the beginning that their safety at work and the safety of their patients is a priority, and that is where they most deserve certainty. "Better pay will make nursing more attractive, but it is not clear how th...

  Covid-19 may have pushed thousands more children into poverty Sarah Robson New research from the Child Poverty Action Group shows that, in the year since the nationwide lockdown, many more whānau have been doing it tough, with Māori and Pacific the hardest hit. Parcels being made up at a food bank in Auckland.  Photo:  RNZ / Simon Rogers CPAG's modelling shows 18,000 more children have likely ended up in poverty in the 12 months to March 2021, even without taking into account the rising cost of housing. Tamariki Māori and Pacific children were up to three times more likely than Pākehā children to be tipped into poverty. Report co-author and CPAG researcher Janet McAllister, said the government did not give children and their families the prioritisation they needed as it developed policy responses to the pandemic. "It is thanks to the collective efforts of iwi, hapū, community organisations, schools, whānau and families - and low-income children themselves - that the cri...

  Mark Zuckerberg Wants Churchgoers to Connect with God on Facebook Alana Mastrangelo 26 Jul 2021 KENZO TRIBOUILLARD /Getty 2:51 Mark Zuckerberg believes the coronavirus pandemic has created a new opportunity for Facebook to grow. His plan involves incentivizing churchgoers — who have become familiar with virtual services over the past year due to lockdowns — to permanently move their religious worship online. The company is intensifying its formal partnerships with faith groups across the United States and shaping the future of churchgoing as it entices users to connect with God on Facebook, rather than at a place of worship, according to a  report  by the  New York Times . For example, Facebook developers had reportedly met weekly with the Hillsong Church in Atlanta, Georgia, to explore what the church would look like if it were on Facebook instead, as well as what apps they might create for financial giving, video capability, and livestreaming. “Together...
