The Big Questions

What is New Zealand’s Future?
I think we have been asking what the hell is going on for a long time now but it seems we have a new book exploring that question also.
I haven’t read it, so perhaps it’s asking different questions.
There is an interesting list of contributing authors shown on the front cover.
Penguin Books
Writers are: Dame Anne Salmond, Judge Andrew Becroft; Rod Oram; Jacinta Ruru; Felicity Goodyear-Smith; Tim Watkin; Patrick Reynolds; Jarrod Gilbert; Stuart McNaughton; David Brougham, Jarrod Haar & Yumiko Olliver-Gray; Golriz Ghahraman; Theresa Gattung; Peter O’Connor; and Leonie Freeman.
Looking forward to seeing comments on what concerns are expressed by this group of contributors.

Hopefully the tip of the toungue questions involve humanity on a base level.
Surely it would be to miss the point if happiness and state of mind were not put before ‘the state of the nation”,,
From RNZ this morning. Obviously this question is well advanced in some people’s minds with a review of the Human Rights Act to consider a variety of specified situations well removed from family and child.
The United Nations is broke, again.
Not surprising given it’s distance and perhaps failure in its original goals.
The US and Australia have walked away from an agreement we have already signed.
Is our Human Rights Act going to evolve to some dictate on Human Duties?
There may well be some big questions to be answered.
I can not even believe we have a spokes person for rainbow issues in our government when there are plenty of old issues left unresolved in the likes of the family court.
We need to come back to reality, look at the real issues eating away at society not pick up new issues to please a minority when the majority are screaming out for change…
Housing, Poverty, Family!!!!, Surely with a new Mum in a ‘Normal” relationship at the helm we can get some semblance of rationality with these BIG QUESTIONS!! MAN.
Family Court is more than an unresolved issue.
It’s a political divide where some people view their dispute as Mum Dad and the children, while it operates on the basis of law of the individual.
‘Family’ in its diverse interpretation opens the door to a much larger range of issues perhaps even in a human rights court rather than a ‘family’ court.
Here’s a biggy.
I’ve seen that message on this website often enough – will that actually happen?
