Given its self-limiting scope and its conclusions (which we do not agree with), the report risks appearing to be a quick sanitising exercise that ended in a predictable finding of, “Nothing to see here; you’re doing a great job.”

Gordon Campbell: On The Parental Panic Over Young Kids Online

Creating a policy group to investigate a R16 ban on social media provides the government with a perfectly designed soapbox.

Ian Powell: Gender Pay Inequity Perpetuation And Venality

Ian Powell discusses the Government’s unexpected decision to rush through Parliament legislation gutting gender pay equity claims.
