The progressive fault lines facing New Zealand in 2021 and beyond
Feature

‘I think we’re confused.” Marlon Drake is an organiser for the Living Wage Movement. His job takes him all over Wellington, trying to convince businesses to increase their minimum wages to $22.10. He works with churches, unions, political parties and charities; every facet of the progressive movement.
And right now, according to Drake, “The progressive movement is very confused about what it is, what its purpose it is, what it looks like, how it operates, who leads it – which person or what people.” ....
