WINZ is using MailChimp to send email. Email. A public service agency is paying a private company in the US to send email for it. Seriously? WTF.
I've been saying for ages that NZ Post ought to be pivoting into hosting email. Handling large-scale mailouts like this is a classic example of a service they could actually be making money out of, doing the digital equivalent of their traditional business.

Good on the #nzgovernment for its rapid sanctions on #iran following the execution of Mohsen Shekari.
These are the "rapid practical international consequences " called for by Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam, director of the Norway-based group Iran Human Rights, to avert the executions of protesters daily.
@lightweight the call for the #nzgovernment by #nzoss to start a #mastodon server is interesting. Any precedents? BTW the #nzoss server needs more details on the about page, who’s welcome to open an account, commitment of service (for example x months grace on closing down etc) #
