And the people it picks on can sometimes spend their entire lives under its weight."

This is an essay on child poverty, years in the making.

It's the first I've time I've worked with the @1NewsNZ digital team in my new role.

Please read (and watch) it. Or listen to it. (Thank you.)

What matters more than how our children are living?

Anyone else think it's weird that you can pay your $2,000 rent on time every month for years and your credit score won't budge, but you can download the credit company's app and they will just raise your score

The CCCFA amendments don't actually say banks have to do this, I'm kinda getting the impression that they're doing it to make a point and to pressure the government

52 trillion--- That was the total consumer spend on the three largest Asian mobile payment platforms in 2020 alone. That's twice the worldwide plastic card spend. #fintech #payments #mobilebanking

[Money and Mental Health @mmhpi]

NEW: Today we publish research showing people with mental health problems are 3x more likely to have fallen behind on council tax bills over the pandemic. With bills likely to go up in the next year, it’s vital government & councils act to support people: https://t.co/lyLNgJZz4q

I made this pre delta, and it’s only gotten worse since. Covid has increased inequality, and we all see how inequality is a big part of how delta is spreading. Addressing inequality has to be part of the effort to addressing covid. Protect everyone. https://t.co/reoIH3ZkET

NZ has gone from 18% fully vaxxed on Aug 17, to 75% today, in under 11 weeks. Whatever people are bitching about (and yes the unequal approach to those most vulnerable is particularly frustrating), but can we be thankful that that's quite an amazing feat of public health.

[The Spinoff @TheSpinoffTV]

Preparing for delta in the community, at a hapū and whānau level, is hard but necessary.

"New Zealand is paying the price for allowing such a big gap to develop, over several decades, between the rich and poor in our society. Infectious diseases typically spread most rapidly among the poor & marginalised, including people in crowded housing." https://t.co/6UNl1HUygN
