At some point your parents picked you up, set you down, and never picked you up again. I don’t know who first said that, but the thought has been lingering with me. There are invisible milestones we cross every day, unknowingly. Last times, and first times, for everything. 1/

Bank profits before tax are now hovering around $10bn per year. That is enough cash to feed all kiwi kids a healthy diet for the whole bloody year... *twice over* (Otago Uni estimate). [3/n]

ACT have done a great job of creating a wedge issue and creating outrage on all sides. Hope the majority holds and the coalition parties can see it for the brazen step to stoke outrage to boost Seymour’s profile at the expense of the intent of multiple generations.

When you see the things you fought for, come to life! Took this “after shot” of Te Hā Noa on the way to the bus. What was two lanes of road, is now part of our growing urban forest where people & birds can stop and enjoy the city centre instead of just walking ordriving through.
