Cultural safety has become a political test for health professionals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Health regulators are confusing political conformity with clinical competence, writes Deborah Chambers. Photo / Getty Whenever I have been in hospital, I have been pathetically grateful for the nurses. They were so kind and caring that on occasion I was disappointed to be told I could go home. They kept watch. They got the basics right. I have never lain there thinking about the Treaty. I have thought about pain, about whether the drip was working, and about whether someone competent was watchin
Prince Harry and the ruinous habit of suing to feel better (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex. Litigation can turn wounded pride into a crushing bill. Photo / Getty Images Litigation is a blunt instrument. It is not designed to soothe injured pride, to prove that you were the better person, or to force the world to accept your moral account of events.

$5.76m and counting: The Dotcom saga is a national embarrassment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kim Dotcom's appeal to the Court of Appeal against extradition failed. And still the process grinds on. In the lower left image Dotcom is flanked by Bram van der Kolk (left) and Mathias Ortmann who have pleaded guilty and served time in NZ. On the right of that image is Finn Batato who died in 2022. The Kim Dotcom saga should be a source of deep shame to New Zealanders. To successive governments who failed to fix the legislation. To our courts. And to every New Zealander who believes this countr
