Thales Australia has cut the first steel for New Zealand’s new fleet of Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles (PMV) at its factory in the Australian State of Victoria. New Zealand ordered an additional 43 of the type in 2020, to replace its aging fleet of armoured Pinzgauer transports. Previously, in 2015, New Zealand’s special forces, the New Zealand Special Air Service (NZSAS), acquired five of the type from Australia which they have operated ever since.

An Auckland electrical contractor sent an email on Thursday saying that staff not working on construction sites would receive 80 per cent of their normal wage for this week’s pay, consisting of $600 from the Government’s wage subsidy and a top-up from the company.

China has vowed to retaliate if the US accuses China of leaking covid from its lab at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. China contests that the coronavirus came from Fort Detrick in Maryland, and it has some sick beats to back that claim up. According to a research lab in Canada, Apple is helping the Chinese Communist Party censor what people can write on their phones in Taiwan (sidenote: why is one of China's dead leaders on the list of forbidden terms?).

China is also exporting a lot of fentanyl to the US, although as far as we know it's not being used in drinking water. Watch this episode of China Uncensored for that and more of this week's China news headlines.
