Hari huritau e hoa! Glorious!

Dr Shaz wants you to not overdo things. Gentle, gentle (((HUGS))).

I put some time into reading the SSAG reports today and what really worries me is that they suggest a huge change but with no real value proposition - so there will be no new money.

Unless someone at MBIE has the chops for this, the reforms will really just be a lick of paint that masks the rot.

Looooooooove it so bad!

Oh are those at MFAT? I’ve walked under those so many times. I’m glad they’re going into the new building.

Could I politely suggest, that with how Arts & Humanities research funding has been pulled from all of these, that political interference has already occurred.

So sorry Jane.

Go well!

The debt crisis is a development & investment crisis. In the Global South, debt repayments crowd out investment in education, healthcare & climate resilience. We call on the World Bank & IMF to acknowledge the impacts of the global debt crisis & take action to drive inclusive & sustainable growth.

You mean when my watch counts my knitting as steps taken, I can’t count them? All those kms done sitting on the couch?

Oh your mum had such a lovely name. I too have been called Bell (not Belle) in emails when Sharon is right there 😂.

Blardy stoked mate!

So thrilled to see a principled and progressive person win after all the nonsense.

Blardy stoked!

So proud of Peri and the campaign she has run here! The city definitely needs someone like her with a progressive vision.

So good! We got the lemon ones too 🤤.

Influencer! I immediately added these to the shopping after seeing your post last night.

NZ must reject 'sham' Myanmar election, MPs say After meeting Myanmar's revolutionary groups and political prisoners, NZ politicians say we must offer more than 'nice words on paper'

Earlier this month Rachel Boyack, @teanau.bsky.social and I carried out a NZ MPs fact finding mission on Myanmar. Check @samsachdeva.bsky.social's story for a good summary. #NZMPsMyanmarFactFinding #Myanmar #SpringRevolution #ShamElection #whatishappeninginmyanmar newsroom.co.nz/2025/10/02/n...

Thanks for your continued advocacy, Phil. I’m pleased that NZ MPs have not forgotten about Myanmar.

It’s the full moon of Thadingyut today - the Burmese Buddhist festival of lights.

I make the same wish that I have done for the last five years.

အရေးတော်ပုံအောင်ရမည် 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

May the revolution succeed in Myanmar 🔥🔥🔥

This might actually be one of the wildest things I’ve ever heard.

You won’t know yourself in a few months! All the very best and be very kind to yourself.

I’m impressed with Labour’s attention to Myanmar. Mahuta took concrete action against the military a week after the Feb 2021 coup. MPs Twyford & Boyack consistently show up to protests & awareness events. Their advocacy shows you CAN have a spine in global affairs. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar

The fulla just walked in and said “pancakes for dinner”. 🥞

Unbelievable levels of victim blaming and an insane lack of empathy. Truly the most crooked moral compass.

Danielle, they’re just staying over with friends for a while.

It’s not abduction if they’re our friends, Lamia.

And so it begins 🥰.
