The Government announced on Tuesday that from next week, almost all travellers to New Zealand must produce a negative test before boarding a plane home. Most Pacific Island nations, Australia, and people landing from Antarctica are exempt.

There’s nothing like the topic of medallic recognition to get the teeth grinding and sabres rattling in the defence force community. There is a long history of grievances around orders, decorations and medals. It is surprising how resistant many governments and officials are to settling what, in most cases, ends up being a $70 bit of metal and coloured ribbon with an accompanying afternoon tea. The significance is not in the cost but in the acknowledgement by the State of an individual’s service to others and the importance of that can’t be over-estimated.

An immunologist says fast-tracking New Zealand's COVID-19 vaccine rollout isn't the answer and believes the Government has its plan right.

National and ACT are calling for the vaccine rollout in New Zealand to be fast-tracked, especially for border workers. The UK expects every adult in its population to be vaccinated by September while New Zealand's vaccine rollout isn't expected to start until the second quarter of this year.

Rhetoric plays an important role in tax debate and therefore tax policy. If your side manages to gain traction in the public imagination with labels such as "death tax" or "dementia tax", you have gone a long way to normalising the labels and winning support.

Some truth underpins these particular labels -- an estate tax is triggered by a person's death, and the United Kingdom's abandoned levy for end-of-life care would have been particularly relevant for dementia sufferers.
