Green Party Welcome Afghan
Interpreters To New Zealand
The welcoming today of Afghan interpreters who
worked with New Zealand troops, demonstrates our gratitude
for their work, the Green Party said today.
“These people put their lives, and the lives of their
families, at real risk to support our troops in
Afghanistan,” Green Party global affairs spokesperson
Kennedy Graham said.
“The Green Party has been
calling for these families to be welcomed to New Zealand, so
we are pleased to see them arrive today.
“New
Zealand soldiers would not have been able to do their work
without the support of these local people.
“The
consequences for these people of providing that support
could have been dire had they remained in Afghanistan. We
are able to provide them with a safe home and it is
absolutely right that we have done so.
“New
Zealand now has a responsibility to these families which
must be met by continuing to support them in their new lives
here.”

For reasons set out below, it maybe never will. But it won’t be for wont of trying. Reportedly, Spotify’s music library contains 70 million tracks and it adds 60,000 more each day. By some estimates it adds on average, one new track every 1.4 seconds. (No wonder it's so hard to keep up with new music.) Spotify has 345 million active users, and 155 million of them have been willing to pay a subscription in order to enjoy their music ad-free. Ads are not a major driver of company revenue...
