This dystopian now is so much worse than I imagined in the 80s as a teenager.

We marched all through the 90s for reconciliation and equality. And I started to believe the world would be better place for my tamariki and mokopuna.

I believe in people power - stand together #nzpol #kotahitanga

Whānau Ora Review Finds No Misuse.
So who owes who an apology? Easy:
TPK and Minister Tama Potaka owe it to Te Pou Matakana and Pasifika Futures. You launched a review on media smoke, not evidence. Now that the findings are public, front up, say sorry, restore your mana in the eyes of Māori.

He had to go tramping in the Himalayas to get over being found out... you know stress leave for privileged straight white guys who won't give you the same rights.

National MP in key seat didn't disclose big shareholding Andrew Bayly is hoist by his own petard, after acerbically criticising Labour's Michael Wood for not revealing what shares he owned. Jonathan Milne reports.

Are there ever any consequences for National MPs? What about that guy who hid his shareholding in a company that had HNZ contracts? newsroom.co.nz/2023/10/12/n...

"National MP Carl Bates owns 25 properties, which he did not disclose on the MP register. Many of the properties are rentals in Whanganui, making Bates’ family one of the biggest private landlords in his electorate."
