Good to hear she got some justice. There is a very long list of other people to whom he should also apologize for his awful behavior. If only.

Any good peeps feeling sick & ashamed about govt's moral failure to recognize Palestine statehood & condemn the genocide .. if you can, use your wallet to reclaim some agency. This govt does not represent me. Many agencies need our support.Today I chose MSF.

#nzpol Recall the media & online hysteria in 2022 re Ardern as the 'divisive' leader of a 'failing' govt? Current govt clearly much worse but no such hysteria. White dudes in charge now, so they still get to be taken seriously. #sexism #misogyny

In the latest Talbto-Mills poll, 45% said the current government is worse than the previous Labour administration, 30% said it was better and 21% said it was the same.

I have sent what I can via your go fund me. I will keep lobbying my govt to pressure the Israeli govt to stop this genocidal campaign. I'm so very sorry for your suffering. I live in hope that world leaders will start to show some courage in ending this atrocity.

Thanks so much! We're developing a narrated video to post on youtube to help more people get a sense of what it involved. And hopefully we can stage it in Auckland at some point, funds permitting.

Greenpeace activists this morning boarded the Talley's trawler 'Amaltal Columbia' to stop it from heading out to sea to bottom trawl the ocean floor.

We're calling on the government to ban bottom trawling in the places where it does the most harm - take action NOW: greenpeace.nz/5k82yl #nzpol

There's many other quotes in the article that exemplify patriarchal cultural norms & beliefs.
It's clearly a shit show at the council under Wayne Brown's 'leadership'.

BROS: WE SEE YOU

Aroha to the brave women who are speaking out in this article. I SEE YOU AND I BELIEVE YOU.
