Firefighters deserve clean air in their workspace
The Green Party are siding with the firefighters in their bid to have extractors installed at their workplaces. The DominionPost reported yesterday that the Fire Service was dragging its feet over the installation of diesel fume extractors at fifteen fire stations around the country. The extractors are expensive — $15,000 per unit — and the Fire [...] read moreMarch 19, 2010 9:45 am - 6 Comments -
Drunk in charge of a sickness benefit
No amount of work-testing is going to get people who cannot work because of alcohol or drug dependency back into the workforce. All that will do is make them feel harassed and more likely to sink deeper into the faux refuge of their dependency. read moreMarch 19, 2010 8:17 am - 20 Comments -

Canterbury DHB needs to rethink drug rehab policy
The Canterbury DHB’s new alcohol and drug rehabilitation services policy flies in the face of the principle of harm minimisation and discriminates against people whose drug and/or alcohol problems have resulted in them falling foul of the criminal law. Often these are the very people who the greatest danger to themselves and others in the community and are most in need of help. read moreMarch 15, 2010 12:52 pm - 13 Comments -

Drug law reform: It’s not that simple, Simon
The Greens support the harm minimisation approach to our drug laws proposed by the Law Commission. But Justice Minister Simon Power’s response to the Commission’s report on drug policy and legislation is to back the hypocrisy and stupidity of the current drug laws. read moreFebruary 12, 2010 12:48 pm - 38 Comments -
A map of global risks and their connections
Some economists have come up with a map of global risks. The size of the circle is the likelihood of the risk, while the thickness of the connection indicates the degree to which the risk relates to others. The thickness of the border indicates the cost of the risk. The colours are categories. Most of it [...] read moreFebruary 9, 2010 12:28 pm - 16 Comments
