After a multi-year legal battle, I've been granted a restraining order against the notorious white supremacist Phil Arps
Arps fought this every step of the way (with legal aid) and I've been left with a hefty legal bill, I'm fundraising to cover the last part of the cost

If ACT and their followers are so keen on democracy, as they say they are, they would have pulled themselves up by their bootstraps and taken part in the submission process offered to them.

Geographer Brett Christophers interview here in Aotearoa. Check out his fab New Enclosure from 2018 (I’m going to read his others). Everything he says tracks with what @garyseconomics.bsky.social is saying. A lot of that wealth transfer is through land and property.

1). Womb is a cool band. Back in the 90s there was another cool band from the North Shore called Womb. I think a Westlake Girls’ band. I can’t remember why (maybe they were looking for a new bass player), but I went to jam with them at the drummer’s house, well, her mum’s house.
