The individualised income relief payment to people made redundant due to COVID-19 is an acknowledgement that benefits levels are too low to live on. The payment is almost twice as a benefit ($490 vs $250). All unemployed people deserve liveable incomes. Benefits need to increase

Oh good, we're creating two kinds of unemployed: those who lost their jobs due to the pandemic and those who didn't have one before the pandemic and are therefore bad people. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/politics/2020/05/income-relief-payment-tax-free-weekly-payments-of-almost-500-announced-for-workers-laid-off-due-to-covid-19.html

Also: why not offer this support to temporary visa holders, work visa, visitors etc? People are stuck here because of the virus. Not their choice. We can extend our compassion to all those on our shores, can't we? Drop in the bucket given the $$$$$$$$ floating around...

@DawgBelly@twitter.com @Olivefarmer@twitter.com Heh. Made me wince when he listed his corporate background as if that made him a credible politician in a democracy.

Ah, little @michaelgove@twitter.com has finally found exactly the wet-lipped, petty, cruel, censorious, self-aggrandising, vain, bullying, officious, sphincter-puckering task for which he was born.

@antihobbes@twitter.com Dual US-NZ citizen here. I am not agnostic about @toddmullerBoP@twitter.com’s MAGA cap. It’s highly offensive. Bad messaging. And they won’t disavow. Remember when Trump took days to grudgingly disavow Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke? I do.

@NZedAUS@twitter.com I think Muller is intended to help regain the Business lobby's control of the National Party.
They'll be pushing a "safe hands, clever financial patriarch" bent on the recovery. Don't fall for it, NZ. if Muller had been PM in January, I think a lot more of us would have died :-(

Today's bullshit from Tory MPs reminds me of a quote from The Great Gatsby that Howard Zinn was keen on - " they were careless people, they smashed up things and . . . then retreated back into their money . . . and let other people clean up the mess they had made."

@NewshubPolitics@twitter.com Meet the white supremacists half way or get accused of partisan politics.
Sounds like gaslighting to me.

We must stop treating Covid as an “act of nature” because it is human destruction of the environment that nurtures pandemic disease. From Scientific American: “Destroying habitats makes viruses and other pathogens more likely to infect humans.” https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/stopping-deforestation-can-prevent-pandemics1/

Anyone out there have any inkling of what a university spends on IT services (infrastructure + licenses, not including staff time) per student per year? Even a ball park figure from someone with relevant experience would be welcome.
