Just catching up on Luxon's Q+A interview (yikes) and something that I noted was he kept saying that rents have stopped rising under this government.

That isn't true. Not only are rents rising fast relative to past years, they're now rising faster than wages

I was a volunteer at the hikoi, at Waitangi Park. Not sure if it's been reported on any media but there was so much aroha - Muslims For Te Tiriti gave us hundreds of curry meals, and as I was leaving, the Cambodian community gave us over 1000 meals. Aroha before politics. THAT was the hikoi!

Sold out in Porirua!

From an Aotearoa NZ perspective, it makes for interesting reading. Our mechanism for collecting high quality data about our stillbirths & infant losses (PMMR - perinatal & maternal mortality review) is on shaky ground, like many other govt agencies. It's such important mahi, esp 4 bereaved whānau.

Kia ora tātou. One of a range I’ve been working up recently… better late than never?
Launching this and many more on changegear.nz  when it surfaces in the coming days.  Yeah after Xmas, I know. Share if you care.

And more praise coming your way Toby @xtotl.bsky.social, this time for your graphic novel of Te Tiriti o Waitangi for the school journal (w Ross Calman & Mark Derby). Course participants saying it's an 'excellent resource for an easy digest of history and issues facing the country today'! Ka rawe!

Kapiti Island, Monday 23 October

Kia ora Toby, I did a shout out to you a few weeks ago but couldn't find you. Thx for your awesome mahi!

October 15th is the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week; today bereaved whānau around the world will light a candle at 7pm to honour and remember their babies and children who are so missed and so loved ❤️ a wave of light will envelop the globe 🌎

A shout out to Toby Morris and the power of his work. I have an online course that talks about inequity and today a participant spoke about how this comic changed their viewpoint entirely. How they had thought we all start at the same place.
