Christchurch Call

[Oh_hunnihunni]

Looks like this might be next for the National chopping block...

There are probably many other things the 450 to 500k it is going to cost the tax payers for her to continue could be spent on - like school uniforms for kids who wonÔÇÖt be returning to school as their parents canÔÇÖt afford their uniform

I notice more and more schools are providing free uniforms. Our local Catholic school has just announced they're doing it this year. Nice to see some more of the church wealth going where it should.

One thing though, perhaps uniforms should be a thing of the past. They are there for all the wrong reasons when you consider 21st c social ideologies.

But then, so is formal education...

Unlikely much will eventuate from this govt other than words &  window dressing, although to be fair, it is a difficult thing to try to police

"Jacinda ArdernÔÇÖs Christchurch Call ÔÇô ambitious and world-leading work to stamp out online extremism and hate - is ÔÇ£unfit for purposeÔÇØ and can no longer keep people safe, a leading researcher says.

Ardern got big tech companies and powerful world leaders on board with the Christchurch Call ÔÇô a plan to stem the flow of violent extremism online ÔÇô in the wake of the Mosque terror attacks on March 15, 2019.

But a change in leadership, lack of political will and ÔÇ£significantlyÔÇØ changed online landscape means the Call is unable to respond to issues Dr Sanjana Hattotuwa a researcher from the Disinformation Project, described as ÔÇ£unimaginableÔÇØ four years ago.

The Call focused on the major social media platforms, such as Facebook, which facilitated a new level of horror during New ZealandÔÇÖs worst mass murder in modern history as the site where the March 15 gunman livestreamed his murders in question as to how the Call is going to remain relevant in the post pandemic misinformation world,ÔÇØ he said."

I wonder how much pushback is coming from the platform owners themselves.
