The IRD is giving your data to Facebook – taxpayers' data to Facebook, that was the headline yesterday.

We give them our data in trust and confidence. Well, we don't actually, we give them our data because the law says we must file our tax returns and tell them who we are and how much we're earning.
But perhaps you assume that the law says that they must keep it to themselves. Not so.
I think this is a scandal.
To be honest when I read the headline, I thought IRD must have been hit by one of those phone scams. You know, they've been cold called by Nigerian prince and handed over our private data.
But no, the RNZ report says they give Facebook and the big tech guys some of our information because it's anonymised. They're calling it hashed. So they can't see who you are when they hand it over.
And it's only for the purposes of IRD placing ads on these platforms like Facebook, et cetera, so don't worry about it.
Sorry, I am worried, and I reckon most Kiwis will hate this.
The reason is pretty simple: it's trust.
Do you trust Facebook? No.
Do you believe they will keep your data secure? No.
Do you believe they won't marry up your private data that our government has just handed them on a silver platter with the profiles they have on you already? No.
No one trusts these guys.
I don't want some government department sending my data to some Silicon Valley server so that some tech guy can bug me with intrusive ads about what undies to buy.
I actually think there's more to this story, and there will be because they have a life of their own. It won't just be the IRD that's doing it. There will be other government departments, there'll be other private data, there'll be more of us affected.
Luxon should get ahead of this and just say let's have some kind of little review because otherwise you're going to get these headlines ticking over and over and over, and I think people will be sick of it.
Also, as citizens, we need to have faith that when we give our data to the government that it is kept secure and safe, and even a perception that it's not is not good enough.

Have you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?

The Science … View moreHave you ever wondered why cuddling up next to your partner feels so dam good?
Well, besides the obvious warmth and affection, there's actual science behind it!
Buckle up as we explore how snoozing with your significant other can improve sleep quality and much more.
The Science Behind Sweet Dreams
Ever heard of REM sleep?
It's that magical phase of slumber where dreams take centre stage.
Research suggests that when couples sleep side by side, they tend to spend more time in REM sleep and experience fewer disruptions throughout the night.
That means deeper, more rejuvenating rest for both of you. Who knew sharing a bed could be so beneficial?
But wait, there's more!
Studies have also shown that co-sleeping can lead to increased levels of oxytocin, aka the "love hormone."
This natural chemical not only promotes feelings of bonding and trust but also helps regulate stress levels, making it easier to drift off into dreamland.
The Power of Pillow Talk
It's not just about the Zzz's—sharing a bed can also work wonders for your relationship.
Feeling emotionally secure and connected to your partner can help reduce stress levels, paving the way for a peaceful night's sleep.
Plus, there's nothing quite like waking up next to the one you love, ready to tackle the day together. It's like having your own personal cheerleader 24/7!
But here's the kicker: Studies have shown that couples who share a bed report higher levels of relationship satisfaction and intimacy.
That's right, folks—snuggling up together isn't just good for your sleep, it's also good for your love life!
Syncing Up for Sweet Slumber
Ever notice how you and your partner seem to fall into the same sleep rhythm?
That's called sleep synchronisation, folks, and it's a real game-changer.
When your sleep cycles align, it can lead to smoother transitions between sleep stages and fewer disturbances throughout the night.
In fact, couples who sleep together often experience a deep sense of emotional connection and understanding.
It's like your bodies and minds are perfectly in tune, creating a harmonious atmosphere for rest and relaxation. Talk about a match made in sleep heaven!
Practical Tips for Pillow Partners
Now that we've discussed the perks of co-sleeping, let's discuss some tips for making the most of it.
Here are a few tips to help you and your partner make the most of your shared sleep space:
Invest in a quality mattress. A comfy mattress is key to a good night's sleep. Check out Beds4U's collection of mattresses for the ultimate in comfort and support.

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?
What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Police believe this scamming method could find its way to New Zealand and we are urging people to be vigilant.
The gift will have the recipients address, but not include the sender's information or be from a known retailer. When the recipient opens the package to see what it is and possibly who sent it, there is a QR code to scan to find out who sent the gift.
The QR code allows the offenders to then access any and all data on your phone or device you used to scan the code, including financial information such as your bank account login details, and personal data.
Police are urging anyone who receives one of these gifts not to scan the QR code, the gift can either be kept or discarded, but do not scan the QR code.
Please report information to Police online at www.police.govt.nz... or call Police on 105.
