I bought a refurbed samsung tablet and it is wonderful. Works fine. Except it will not let me open the Stuff website unless I am incognito.

I use Chrome as a browser and access Stuff regularly - not just for the quizzes, and this silliness is frustrating. Any ideas?

This has to be worth a look tonight; I only noticed just now that its on.

"We are a nation of just over five million people, yet we produce enough food each year to feed an estimated 40 million. So why are thousands of us lining up at foodbanks run by charities to get something to eat today?

According to the Ministry of Education: ÔÇ£Around one in five children in New Zealand live in households that struggle to put enough good-quality food on the table. In communities facing greater socio-economic barriers, 40 per cent of parents run out of food sometimes or often.ÔÇØ
ThatÔÇÖs a shameful admission for a country that makes the bulk of its income from exporting food.

But the supermarkets come at the end of our food supply chain and get a lot of attention because they are highly visible, and if you look behind the barcodes of any of the goods on their shelves, you will find a lot of companies clipping the profit ticket before you get to eat any of it.
LetÔÇÖs just take one item - bread. Chances are the supermarket loaf you bought today was made from wheat grown in Australia, bought and sold by commodity dealers, transported by foreign-owned ships and trucked to one of the foreign-owned flour mills, transported to a foreign-owned bakery and transported again to the supermarket.
You probably noticed the word ÔÇ£transportedÔÇØ a few times in that last sentence.



Transportation by vehicles dependent on petrol and diesel (which we import) contributes significantly to the price you pay for your daily bread as its ingredients travel from paddock to plate.

And why does the wheat come from Australia? Because many of our farmers turned their wheat fields over to dairy production as there was more profit in it.
None of this has happened by accident. From the mid-1980s to the late 1990s, consecutive Labour and National-led governments embraced neoliberal economic theory which held that the state should not be running businesses and that the twin policies of free market and free trade would allow entrepreneurial New Zealanders to create wealth which would trickle down to the lower orders, and we would be all be better off.
Well, of course, that didnÔÇÖt happen because wealth doesnÔÇÖt trickle down; it largely sticks with those who have it.

Do we want a fair society where every child gets an equal chance to grow up healthy and be the best they can be, or not?
Do we believe everyone should be able to afford healthy food, or not?

And what is the purpose of our economy? Is it that a few of us can get wealthy at the expense of the many? Or to create the greatest good, for the greatest number of us, over the longest period of time?"

Stumbled across this just now. Absolutely appalling that this could be deliberately suppressed by an abuser, but he had the power to do so at the time.

"One morning, a fortnight ago, I checked the BBC headlines┬áto find my old editor, Peter Wilby, peering out. HeÔÇÖd been exposed as a paedophile and convicted of possessing child sexual abuse images. I still feel sick at the discovery.
It would be disturbing enough to discover anyone you knew had done something so terrible ÔÇô he was convicted of possessing images of children being raped since the 1990s. But Wilby wasnÔÇÖt anyone. He was a pillar of the media establishment, an editor of the┬á[i]Independent on Sunday[/i]┬áand the┬á[i]New Statesman[/i], and a┬á[i]Guardian[/i]┬ácolumnist.

Journalists who had worked with Wilby were appalled at his crimes, while others raged at his ÔÇ£hypocrisyÔÇØ, but what shocked me was the creeping realisation that he had used his position as an editor and columnist to create what the writer Beatrix Campbell has called a ÔÇ£hostile environmentÔÇØ for victims of abuse.
In April 1991, I learned of mental and physical abuse at Ty Mawr childrenÔÇÖs home in Gwent, south Wales, where some residents had attempted suicide.
I thought Wilby would be excited at the prospect of a scoop, but he couldnÔÇÖt have been less interested. I took it to the daily┬á[i]Independent,[/i]┬áwhich put it on the front page and made a campaign of it.



Seven months later, I reported on an┬áabuse scandal in north Wales, centred on the Bryn Estyn childrenÔÇÖs home in Wrexham, where former residents said they had been sexually assaulted by care home staff and a senior policeman. The story led the front page of the┬áIndependent on Sunday, where Wilby was then deputy editor and, I later learned, had advised the editor against publishing it.



But one of those implicated in the abuse, Supt Gordon Anglesea, successfully sued for libel and it marked the start of a wider backlash, led by Wilby, against whistleblowers, victims and journalists who paid too much heed to their claims.

As┬á[i]New Statesman[/i]┬áeditor, he published articles denigrating the north Wales victims as ÔÇ£damagedÔÇØ and manipulated by journalists such as me, all part of a modern witch-hunt in which the real victims were those accused of abuse. The Anglesea libel verdict was regularly cited as evidence of the witch-hunt.

Some of my witnesses in this investigation did not survive. Three killed themselves, two of whom had alleged sexual abuse by Anglesea. The former senior policeman was┬áeventually convicted in 2016┬áof sexually assaulting two boys, aged 14 and 15, at an ÔÇ£attendance centreÔÇØ he ran for runaways. He was sentenced to 12 years and died in jail a few weeks later, but it was more than 25 years too late.
┬áMark Humphreys never lived to see the justice he craved; he took his life a few weeks after AngleseaÔÇÖs 1995 libel case victory.
The heroic whistleblower in the north Wales case, the former social worker and now novelist Alison Taylor, sued Wilby and the [i]New Statesman[/i] for defamation and won an apology.

Thanks for NOTHING  Labour.
Their lastest bribe is to provide free dental care for those under the age of 30 if they win the upcoming election - to be implemented in stages.
So, my husband and I can not afford to go to the Dentist and both desperately need to.
Have worked and paid taxes all our lives and are still working and paying taxes, whilst trying unsuccessfully to save for our retirement, pay our mortgage and the  rising cost of living.

:No such thing as free Dr's visits for children when our kids were little - so we missed out on that, and had to pay. And then again at the chemist, and it was a damn sight more expensive than the now defunct $5 per item in those days too.

: No Working for Families or family benefit

: We paid $500 a year to send our kids to our local Primary School - State school, plus stationary costs etc
: There was no help available for our Dyslexic child - we had to pay, pay , pay for private tutors all her school life.

And now we will miss out on dental care.

Kinda irks me that there are people that sit at home on their ass all day that will get this for nothing in the future, if Labour win. Providing, of course they stick to their promise.

Reb stepped in a a day's notice to take the place of Don McGlashan, who was taken sick.   She slotted in with his band plus hand drummers and a gospel choir, sang his songs (in his keys) with barely a fault.  What a great talent she is.   "Pulled Along by Love" is not an easy song to sing.

And so he should be, given the nature of those camps.

Interesting character to be honest thought he had passed away some time ago
