I have visited Iran twice. Once in June 1980 to witness an unprecedented event: the world’s first Islamic Revolution. It was the very start of my writing career. The second time was in 2018 and part of my interest was to get a sense of how disenchanted the population was – or was not – with life under the Ayatollahs decades after the creation of the Islamic Republic. I loved my time in Iran and found ordinary Iranians to be such wonderful, cultured and kind people.

Workplace Relations and Safety minister Brooke van Velden has announced major changes to the way that Workplace safety is managed in Aotearoa New Zealand. Her highlight policy is a road cone hotline. Engaging in useless culture war policies is obviously not below her. The net benefit to the country’s safety from this policy is zero. Fielding calls from people who think there are too many road cones is not going to improve work safety.
