  • John MacDonald: The Pope won't change the world, but needs to be part of it

    6 days ago | newstalkzb.co.nz | John Macdonald

    I don’t often quote Albert Einstein, but I’m going to today.  “Those who believe that politics and religion do not mix, understand neither.” And if the new pope didn’t understand that before today, he will now.

    Next time I hear one of our government politicians banging on about New Zealand being the first country in the world to give women the vote, it will sound very hollow.  Because while that might be something to crow about, what the Government’s doing in relation to equal pay for women, isn’t.
