From the roof over whānau heads
From the hands of every kaiako fighting for our kids

OPINION: I’m sorry that politicians and the media spent last week focusing on my potty mouth and not the terrible injustice that is being done to care-workers, nurses, teachers and other underpaid women, Andrea Vance writes.
I said what I said. And I’m sorry... sort of

Denying working women equitable wages is, in fact, a very cunty thing to do.
The pay equity amendment legislation looks like, sounds like, and reads like a very anti-women, anti-feminist bill. It's very cunty and so are its architects and supporters.

Something I want us to reeeeeeeeeally think about on the left in Aotearoa is how happily the right throw out legislation that had bipartisan support when it suits them. On climate, on equal pay, on housing. Maybe we don't need to moderate and minimise our best policies in pursuit of fake consensus.
