Introduction Thread For All Members?

I have been very concerned recently about the kind of data government and commercial tech industries are collecting on us,

I'm more concerned with what the corporations are collecting on us than government. The government is, at least theoretically, accountable to us whereas the corporations aren't.

Of course, that does mean that we need to put in place proper processes and protocols to prevent government from doing anything malicious with the data that they have.

Hi team! Long time watcher long time supporter. I was a hardened supporter last election who skirted on the edges and supported massivly vua occupy auckland where i am or was the media coordinator.
Im firmly of the left thru and thru. I work for an i.s.p doing teir 2 tech support and have a vast nedia background via being a crew member in film and tv and also a vj at many a rave. I was also Aorearoas first live streamer a.k.a #Redstar309Z.

I am a plan b person ala nigel latta and john campbells recent offering "what next" (this in my opinion is a mega indication that the time is right for some radical change... If you didnt watch it you should and we should capitalise on the message there in.
I see that here in Aotearoa we have slowly but surly been pillaged by right wing shock doctrine. . We must fight back we must take our place. We must depose the babyboomers who for the most part have created a society of stagnation and inequality. I firmly believe that we must up end the apple cart from below... We must rise like lions we must shake the shackles from us heavy like morning dew as we are the many and they are the few!

Sorry for typos

Saw this at the Banksy exhibition in Tauranga a few weeks ago. Something to keep in mind.

Hi, I'm Renton Innes, a passionate scientific researcher dedicated to protein design, i have no formal qualifications other than school C science, otherwise I am Streetwise rather than Institutionalized and take pride that, not having to pretend i am an expert in anything that was taught by others believing they are somehow more qualified than others using qualifications to justify it. I am a retired muay thai boxer. I used to work in Germany for BMW group as an international project manager for New Markets. Assisting in the setting up of subsidiaries communications around the world with the team. Computers have been my life, started when I was 10 years old and worked in the industry here(building computers for companies like pc direct etc etc) from the time i left school at 16 years old. I do not vote, never have and probably never will. I don't believe in politics but rather Science. fact vs fiction. my interests are in doing everything i can to support new zealand evolve and provide a clean green future for our children. my mother before she died of a brain tumor founded Lollipops Educare, thus my focus on drug design to one day prevent other people from suffering like i did after her death. i dont rely on anyone making change but myself and anyone like minded, supporting them with their dreams or aspirations. I founded the German Touch Rugby Association in 2002 and played for the german team after being removed from new zealand with my ex german wife with a 2, then 5 year ban for fighting agasint it. She worked for the music industry, (RIANZ) and i was hired to track down illegally coped music, after i released a article in the news paper i was dropped and within three months removed with my wife ( i am a kiwi born here) i hope i can be of some asset to your team, and maybe struggling to understand this site, but hope i can provide some kind of insights or enlighted someone to change new zealand for the better too. :-)
