Cracker: Breaking the Silence, in reply to Rosemary McDonald,
disability advocate, quelling discussion
Feel free to name names. It has long suited governments to pretend homogeneity without resourcing community engagement to verify that.

Timmy reassures US pharma he has done their bidding.
New Zealand Ambassador Tim Groser said Senate Finance Committee Chairman Orrin Hatch’s position on biologics in the TPP was “principled” but that the Utah Republican should not be worried about the level of protection the deal will provide for the new class of drugs.
Not enough attention has been paid to TPP language saying that all countries must provide "effective market protection" for biological drugs, Groser told reporters Friday at a lunch hosted by the National Foreign Trade Council.
“[New Zealand] will meet our TPP obligations, which require us to give effective market control through a variety of different mechanisms,” said Groser, who recently served as his country’s trade minister. “The shortest period of time between the marketing of the original [biological drug] and the entry of [a biosimilar] through our regulatory process ... the shortest period is over 20 years. So this is not just pure theory I’m spouting.”
Two-faced creep.

I was at least a bit positively impressed by Newshub for a change showing us the grim face of homelessness in Auckland, and people living in cars.
That was via The Nation this morning and a recommended watch (13m).
Check the setting where Minister Nick Smith chose to conduct his interview right afterwards.
