Pay rise: they're two words that have received scant attention during the COVID-19 pandemic.

But as the economy heads further into recovery and demand for skills increases, that’s changing, a leading recruiter says. Economists say unemployment, currently 4.7 percent, is likely to have peaked. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increased by 1.6 percent over the March 2021 quarter.  Latest Trade Me Jobs data indicates it’s a good time to change in employment or ask for a pay rise, SEEK May data also showing jobs ads up by a quarter compared to May 2019.

Every jab counts when it comes to shutting Covid-19 out

The holy grail of vaccination programmes is to stop the disease in its tracks.

Vaccines do that by putting up roadblocks to infection. When the virus runs into a vaccinated person who is protected against infection, it has to back up and look for a different route.

Labour MP Louisa Wall has broken ranks with her Government again, saying New Zealand will be able to declare genocide in China by the end of the year - something the Prime Minister has refused to do. 

It's hard to know what's happening in China's Xinjiang province, because the United Nations isn't allowed in. But Wall believes the human rights abuses are clear.
