Get ready for this
10 October 2025I've already written about the push to introduce Digital ID in the UK and the furore that is causing.
In that column I also suggested that NZ would likely not be too far behind the UK and Australia in its attempts to roll out such a mechanism here.
Sure enough, this story ran recently on the Radio NZ news site.
According to RNZ, "Digital Identification is on its way" and I guess that if we don't engage in a concerted push-back, it will be forced upon us whether we like it or not.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
Recoverable Proxy
Would this system help improve the nation's democracy and introduce some much-needed accountability within parliament? Spread the word!
