Well, that didn’t last long! Richard Prebble’s resigned from the Waitingi Tribunal. It was always a dreadful appointment, so I doubt he’ll be missed.

The Waitangi Tribunal has published its own statement in response to Prebble resigning. The inclusion of a timeline under the statement is fascinating - is Prebble arguing something different? waitangitribunal.govt.nz/en/news-2/all-…

Tikanga isn't woke. It's actually the most traditional approach this country has.

The government is lying. Health is not overspent, it is underfunded

"Living Wage basically allows me to survive. Before Living Wage came in I was really struggling to afford groceries, especially considering how high my rent was, and the Living Wage has allowed me to thrive in what would be seen as a very basic sense."

Here's my thread on Pākehā culture. I think it's important that we recognise Pākehā culture exists and is the basis for almost everything our government does. Only then can we realise how privileged Pākehā culture is & what a tiny % of resource goes to kaupapa Māori services

The draft decision to remove the Living Wage from cleaners, caterers, and security guards by the Minister of Finance will hurt real people. People we rely on every day to deliver public services. But it will also hurt us as taxpayers. Let's look at the story of 'Amy'...🧵

Simeon was told if he made this policy change that a projected 111 more Māori and Pacific people would die. He went ahead with it.

Simeon Brown was told he could save lives and he chose to end them instead Yet another act that in this government that should ensure an MP would never work in this country again

Flooding the Zone with Shit: it was time for SA After two weeks of intense discussions in the U.S. on South Africa’s relations with Washington, I thought I’d have one last quiet evening to reflect. Instead, as I prepared to head back to Joburg/Pretoria from NY, the news

National has said that they believe in a policy of social investment (early intervention to get the best long term results). Luxon has said education is a priority for him. This short thread will give you hard data that show that neither of the above statements are true. 🧵

In the last five years I can count on one hand and not use all my fingers the number of media pieces that have provided clear analysis, and clear, needed, vital warnings about David Seymour’s politics - this is one of them. Thank you E-Tangata 🔥🙏 e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-an…
