In New Zealand we have a Shielded Site popup at the bottom of all government websites, and many popular privately owned websites too.

E.g. go to govt.nz and scroll to the bottom. There's a little icon of a computer that opens a popup element inside the page.

It gives information for victims of domestic violence and abuse.

Thank You for that. The popup, the monitor icon, being implemented as an iframe popup seems actually effective against browser history and cookies, sessisons, etc. I guess much better then Vancouver PD implementation.

Another thing that looks awesome, from a public service perspective, the zero data (phone plan) offer. From what it sounds like you don't have to pay for data on your phone plan: https://www.govt.nz/browse/engaging-with-government/no-data-...

That is public service! Well done.

https://govt.nz isn't a thing, but https://www.govt.nz is.
