An essay criticising the Kiwi military’s efforts to increase diversity won an army writing competition, only to be quietly taken down amid a backlash in the ranks.

The entry, titled Can the Army Afford to go Woke, Benign Social Progress or National Security Threat won the Chief of the Army’s writing competition in the “private writing category”.

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.

Treasury is warning the Government that its debt is on an “unsustainable trajectory” over the coming 40 years thanks to an ageing population driving up superannuation and health costs.

The Government’s main economic adviser released a draft report on Monday looking at Government spending out to 2060, the first of these legally mandated reports to be released since 2016.
