thespinoff.co.nz/politics/20… Erika Stanford is driving people away from teaching. Instead of listening to teachers from Aotearoa New Zealand she’s listening to a Tory.

Both parties seem to be struggling around the messaging on CGT in Aotearoa NZ. Aussie expert makes it quite clear that we are behind the rest of the world in this. rnz.co.nz/national/programme…

Replying to @dbseymour
@dbseymour every time representatives of the British Crown come to the motu, entire schools take the day off and line the streets. Today they are doing that for the OTHER Treaty Partner. That 'equality' you keep bleating about.

I created the Near East, and then I created the Far East, and then I thought “Maybe I’ll put something in the Middle,” and that was a huge mistake.

I don't know how much more this country can take. It's actually getting depressing watching the continued incompetence of this govt.

This is horrendous. The government's order to break up Te Pukenga is likely to result in the failure of all but two of the country's polytechnics. youtube.com/watch?v=v4UDEA7z…

It has now been more than a year since Christopher Luxon has been interviewed by Q+A, including his entire tenure as PM. We hope he'll agree to be interviewed soon.

Day 5 of watching Māori men stand up at the tangihanga of Tuheitia and pour out poetic emotional kōrero after poetic emotional kōrero starting to realise this is a really healthy way for men to express emotions.

2 of my fav things in 1 place, rugby and te reo Māori: maoriplus.co.nz/show/maori-a… Really good listening practice (if you like rugby) because they speak really clearly, there are gaps in between phrases, and if you watch rugby you can contextualised a lot already. #tereomaori

Māori didn't live in Aotearoa for 800+ years without figuring some things out about living on an island at the bottom of the world. It's just arrogant to ignore that knowledge. e-tangata.co.nz/reflections/…
