That's prompted criticism from National, who says Aucklanders deserve to know as soon as possible if the city is moving to alert level 1.

A landmark independent report has found China is breaching every prohibited act of the UN Genocide Convention with its treatment of the Uighur people and bears responsibility "for committing genocide".
The report from the Washington DC-based think tank Newlines Institute for Strategy and Policy is described as the "first independent expert application" of the UN Genocide Convention to the ongoing treatment of 1-2 million Uighurs thought to be in camps in the north-western Chinese province of Xinjiang.

- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
The Greens can just Fuck off... First, RocketLab is no longer a New Zealand Company and they will just launch from the US Wallops Island launch site. "An experimental" satellite that satellite that "will test technologies that support development of new capabilities for the US Army" and civil uses as well. New Zealand might as well get the tax from it because they will just launch it from the US. I very much doubt it is breaking any NZ law.
