Sara has curly dark hair and is wearing a blue top, standing at a podium with the edge of her purple campaign poster just visible. Behind her is a screen with her "For Our CIty. Four Our People.

The backs of the heads of two audience members are visible on the left and right of the picture.

Sara Templeton at her mayoral campaign launch on Friday. Extremely inspiring, even for somebody pretty much already convinced.

What I'm Reading – Sara Templeton | IoD This week's must-read addresses what it means to counteract systemic sexism, biases and deeply ingrained social conditioning. Find out more.

I recommended The Authority Gap on here last year... and here's a review I've just done for the Institute of Directors. Addressing unconscious bias and misogeny is tough, but we all benefit when we do.

It's going to be a big year for sure and both mainstream and social media will be really important. To be fair The Press put me front page when I announced too. I'm not here much, as already have 4 others, but will start checking in more :)

Opinion: How do we create 'a city fit for a changing and challenging future' Christchurch mayoral candidate Sara Templeton argues the "Minister for Local Government’s latest proclamation that councils should get back to...

I wrote a thing 😀 www.odt.co.nz/star-news/st...

Thanks!!

9 letters v 27 at my count 🤔 and the shorter 'CID' doesn't really provide clarity promised.

I have a different definition of both 'shorten' and 'clarity'. 🤔

I doesn't. We are stuck with it until we pay for a new plan change.

Turns out I was! Have been off here for a while, but am going to find time now :)

It's our turn! www.change.org/p/let-s-get-...

I remembered to turn off my alarm for tomorrow 😎

I've been checking for someone else too - just awaiting a response :)

“Professor Andrew Geddis said it was "misleading at best, and borderline unlawful at worst".

"No minister can by mere announcement remove an existing legal obligation imposed by a parliamentary enactment," he said.” #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

PM Ardern's visit to Selwyn College Kohimarama Auckland. Students smiling and cheering

Students excited to see a politician they know... 😁❤

No, Prime Minister, rents don’t rise or fall with landlords’ costs Treasury study disproves PM’s claim that reinstating interest deductibility for landlords will mean lower rents; Study shows a much closer links to population growth, housing supply and wages

I’ve opened this one up for public reading, listening and sharing after requests from paying subscribers. They pay for me to do this journalism in the public interest and want this one out and about. thekaka.substack.com/p/no-prime-m...

Interesting that according to Nats, Supermarkets wouldn't pass GST on fruit and vege savings on to consumers, but landlords will definitely pass their interest deductibility savings on to renters.

The next 2.5yrs are going to be brutal, and Swarbrick has put herself about as front and centre for abuse as a person can, especially in this age of manipulation and misinformation. I hope, for all our sakes, 4th Estate recognises its role and responsibilities.

The key takeaway from this Hurricanes Poua haka conversation was how woeful Avan Lee’s response was. He should never have made public comment about the team without meeting with them first to find the full facts of the matter.

Would have saved himself and the franchise a lot of embarrassment.

Brace yourselves for a relentless barrage of sexism, racism, queerphobia, like you've never seen before. Marama & Chloe are going to be hit with every fucking thing the Right have got.

Extrapolating this out further, "keep the politics out of x" is always, always political. More often than not it is tacit or direct endorsement of the status quo, which it is just obviously false to suggest is something without political content.

Photo of a book cover. It is red and blue and the title reads 'The Authority Gap: Why women are still taken less seriously than men and what we can do about it.'

Book rec. for International Women's Day! This was a gift last year when I was going through some crap. It covers politics, journalism, business, framing, beauty, intersectional prejudice, and lots of enlightening examples and interviews, including with those who have lived as both men and women.

Photo is of a concrete wall with chalk street art. The words 'meet me on Gloucester' are accompanied by three sets of angel wings that people can have photos taken with.

Photo is of hundreds of people dancing at a morning street party. In the distance is a gazebo with the dj and lights.

Early morning dance party on Gloucester St in Ōtautahi this morning 🎶 Cities for Citizens and Streets for People.

So, a board of 7 men (inc 1 ex Nat mp) and 1 woman, get male CE to bring uppity women player into line and apologise on their behalf for 'inappropriate political comment'. Seems more than a little paternalistic given rugby's previous public support for a Nat PM on magazine covers n all that. 🤷🏻‍♀️

It's going to be tough! Submit on our LTP to keep current projects on track as a start. Ōtautahi and others are going to face some tough decisions... mainly will we build cycleways without govt funding anyway because they are good for our city?
