Coldplay concert affair exposes privacy struggles in digital age
Details of their personal and professional lives have spread across social media like wildfire after footage of the two ducking for cover went viral. Privacy lawyer Kathryn Dalziel told The Front Page that society has changed, we're all carrying recording devices and there are CCTV cameras everywhere. 'So, the question is whether they have a reasonable expectation of privacy and whether the publication of facts about them would be offensive to a reasonable person. 'Quite frankly, standing at a concert swaying along to Coldplay probably doesn't meet the legal tests of a privacy interest in this and what's happened. 'Even though they might have made a bad moral judgment, they weren't breaking the law; they weren't doing anything that our Government says is wrong. They were just being people and they're being judged by people. What do we do about that? I'm not 100% sure the law is the best place to do that,' she said. Legally, there isn't too much that can be done, Dalziel said, but morally as a society, we can do better. 'If that couple had been involved in an accident or something really bad happened to them that had nothing to do with their relationship, then there may have been some privacy interests. If they hadn't been having an affair, they had the right of defamation. Arguably, some of the doxxing they're receiving could amount to harassment, particularly if the media is camped outside their house,' she said. It's not the first time people have gone from complete unknowns to internet sensations. One of the early examples of this type of public internet shaming was the 2013 story of Justine Sacco. She boarded a flight from New York to South Africa. Beforehand, she posted to her 170 followers a tweet that read: 'Going to Africa. Hope I don't get Aids. Just kidding. I'm white!' She turned off her phone and when she landed 11 hours later, her life had been destroyed. Her name was trending worldwide, she'd lost her job, she was being spoken about on the news and people were tracking her flight online. Dalziel referenced Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, published in 1813. 'For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbours, and laugh at them in our turn? 'In the case of Pride and Prejudice, they dined with four and 20 families. It was a village. Now, we are a global village where millions, billions of people are doing, behaving in exactly the same way as in Jane Austen's village. 'We are human animals. We want to belong to a club. The club's weighing in. And so we join the club because we want to be seen as part of it. People get senses of belonging, participating, and commenting regardless of the outcome on the other person,' she said.

Lions deny devaluing jersey amid new 'geography six' claim
Lions deny devaluing jersey amid new 'geography six' claim The Lions have called in a number of players in recent days, including some surprise faces that have led to questions Maro Itoje, the British & Irish Lions captain, faces the media today The Lions have dismissed any chance of their recent call-ups suffering the same fate as Warren Gatland's 'geography six' as they revealed some could head home before the end of the tour of Australia. In recent days, the likes of Jamie Osbourne, Jamie George and Thomas Clarkson have all been brought into the squad. Today, Andy Farrell added Scottish trio Darcy Graham, Rory Sutherland and Ewan Ashman to his squad as cover for next week's clash with the First Nation and Pasifika XV in Melbourne, with the trio already in nearby Fiji with Scotland. By Sunday, his original touring party of 38 will have ballooned up to 44. That has prompted some comparisons to the six players Gatland called up for the Lions' final midweek clash with the Hurricanes in 2017 - with Welsh quartet Cory Hill, Gareth Davies, Kristian Dacey and Tomas Francis brought in as injury cover along with Scottish pair Alan Dell and Finn Russell.

The move was met with fierce criticism, with Joe Marler and Dan Cole refusing to be replaced by the call-ups amid feelings of resentment to the new faces in camp. "I didn't hear those stories, but I'd like to think our lads would be above that," said Lions assistant coach John Dalziel. And Lions captain Maro Itoje - who toured New Zealand with the Lions in 2017 - says the new call-ups will be ingratiated into camp with open arms. Article continues below 'I have no doubt that they will be welcomed in," said Itoje. "The boss, Andy, has called them in because he believes they will help the Lions to achieve their goal of winning a Test series. "So, all of the players that have been called in are quality players. They are player like everyone else in the team, have a high level of experience and have achieved things in their career. "We are all in this together. It's not us and them. "It doesn't matter if there's a late call-up. We've seen in the past how late call-ups have had huge impact on the tour in positive ways. 'I have no doubt that everyone who has called up will play a significant role in helping the team achieve its goal.' Dalziel also revealed that the new call-ups might not remain with the Lions for the rest of the tour. "It'll be on an individual basis, based on what's going to happen through the week and Saturday again as well," said Dalziel. "We'll assess after that. But we'll make that decision after that." And the Lions assistant denied that the decision to bring in extra cover despite no new injuries had devalued the jersey. "No, I think naturally at this stage of the tour that the games that are more intense," he added. "Geographically, we're getting people here if they do need to play. "I think it's the right time to do it with the right players. We're not giving away opportunities lightly. "It's quality players like Darcy Graham and Rory Sutherland, an ex-Lions international. These are players who will come in and add value to the group. "In terms of where we're at and the way that we see the games, with specialist positions, in a training session, you could lose someone. "We've already lost Luke to the protocol. It doesn't give us cover for the games. We have to have the right people here. Someone like Jamie George started the tour with us, to prepare well in Portugal so that should it be that he's needed, he comes ready to go. "All these things have been thought out really well. We'll have the right numbers here to assist us and have the best performance through training and into the games. Article continues below "You're also estimating what could happen six games prior to that. We could have been unlucky enough to have two or three bigger injuries. "Anything could happen. We've seen it from game to game. There was always a thought with the squad that, as you get through games, it naturally will reduce. There's always been a plan in place and we've made the right one based on what we have."

Update on Tadhg Furlong's Lions tour hopes - Andy Farrell on Finlay Bealham call
Tadhg Furlong is on course for Lions action after fears that his tour might be over before it began were dismissed by forwards coach John Dalziel. The Leinster and Ireland tighthead has started the last nine Lions Tests over three tours but hasn't played for his province since early May, when he suffered another calf injury set-back. Furlong has only started five games in nine appearances in total this season and is not expected to be named in Leinster's matchday squad for Saturday's URC Grand Final clash with the Bulls at Croke Park. 'Tadhg has the availability to be able to train and play this week with Leinster,' said Dalziel said from the Lions' Portuguese training base. 'There are no real concerns in terms of his ability to come back to full training. "Tadhg had returned to play and was playing. He's now being modified in terms of [being] off-feet in the last few weeks. We've got no real concerns (around) when comes back to full training and playing. 'We will put our best team and our best foot forward for Argentina, with everybody available the squad will be together on Sunday, everybody in after the finals, then we will select and prepare that team that week. "We will get some structures in place here, some language and some learning with the wider group, then we will arrive back in Dublin on Sunday with everyone and prepare for Argentina.' Dalziel also provided a positive update on Connacht and Ireland winger Mack Hansen, who has been sidelined with an ankle injury, but who could come into contention for Friday week's opening Lions warm-up against the Pumas. Meanwhile, Lions head coach Andy Farrell admits it was an emotional phone call to Finlay Bealham to inform the Connacht tighthead that he was being called into the squad for the Australia tour following Zander Ferguson's withdrawal through injury. 'He was certainly right up there in the conversation from the very start as well, and he would have been disappointed not to make the group," said Farrell. 'So we just know he will be a great fit for the group going forward. He is the only conversation that I was able to have because of the way we did the squad announcement. 'By giving him a phone call and telling him he was selected within the squad, unfortunately for Zander, but it was one of the best phone conversations I have ever had. The emotion that went through the phone actually welled me up. It was great to be able to do that.'

Economic Analysis Casts Doubt On Impact Of Investment Boost
Press Release – WEAll Aotearoa Despite branding it a 'Growth Budget, the 2025 Budget does not reflect the central role of knowledge in sustaining economic wellbeing' Dr Paul Dalziel said. Analysis by Dr Paul Dalziel, former Professor of Economics and current Research Economist for the Wellbeing Economy Alliance Aotearoa, casts serious doubt on the effectiveness of the Government's Investment Boost initiative. According to Dr. Dalziel, much of the investment the policy seeks to incentivise would occur anyway. 'For businesses that would have purchased new assets anyway, the 20 percent deduction is essentially a gift,' he said. 'For taxpayers, it's pure waste.' Dr. Dalziel's analysis is supported by long-standing economic theory and Treasury's own internal evaluations. He references the Solow growth model – an economic staple since 1956 – which shows that such incentives produce only a one-off lift in output, not a stimulus to long-term growth. 'At the end of 20 years, Treasury suggests the level of New Zealand's GDP might be 1 per cent higher than without the policy,' Dr. Dalziel noted. 'That increase in output is equivalent to just four months of typical economic progress. In effect, we're trading $34 billion over two decades for a four-month head start.' Paul argues the Government has missed a better opportunity by failing to invest in knowledge and innovation. As he explained in a Treasury Guest Lecture, the only factor that can support higher growth in living standards is the ongoing discovery and use of new knowledge. Despite branding it a 'Growth Budget,' the 2025 Budget does not reflect the central role of knowledge in sustaining economic wellbeing.' Dr. Dalziel pointed to recent decisions such as ending the eleven National Science Challenges in 2024 without replacement, and denying applications for the Endeavour Fund in 2026. 'These cuts undermine our future resilience and damage our nation's long-term prosperity and wellbeing. We are underinvesting in our knowledge infrastructure at a time when global challenges such as geopolitical uncertainty and the climate crisis make new knowledge as vital as ever. He concluded: 'Public investment in discovery and innovation is the only proven path to sustained growth in living standards. This policy takes us in the wrong direction.'
