Maoriland Worker

New Zealand labour journal

The Maoriland Worker, later called The Standard, was a leading New Zealand labour journal of the early 20th century.

It was launched in 1910 by the Shearers' Union and was initially published monthly (Frank Langstone was involved).[1] The newspaper was produced in Christchurch for a short period, with Ettie Rout and Alexander Wildey prominent.[2] It was published by Michael Laracy then General Secretary of the N.Z. Shearers´ Union. It was soon taken over by the New Zealand Federation of Labour and became the official organ of the federation.[3]

The journal ceased publication in 1960. At the time it was called The Standard, and was published weekly. In 2007, the spirit of the journal was revitalised as an online blog. The Standard, occasionally differentiated as The Standard: Version 2.0, is a co-operative online blog which posts news articles and opinion / think pieces from a left-wing point of view.[4]
