If you missed the show tonight here it is. We unpack the Te Matatini powhiri that had everyone talking. We have an exclusive with the man in charge of the Muriwai fire station and we are in Hawkes Bay in the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle

Okay, so I'm too impatient not to tell you this now. #CampBoomNZ is returning in 2023, and it's nine months away on November 4 & 5 so there's plenty of time for y'all to save up/create a payment plan/convince a friend to come with you. Super cute logo by @gbaker
ALT Two fat babes gleefully throw their hands up in the air either side of the Camp Boom logo, with a luggage tag reading "in the city 2023, November 4 & 5 Wellington" and the artist's signature

We’re ready to share preliminary findings from Te Whakahaumaru Taiao survey and we want to talk to students first – because this is about you!
Come along to the hui at your campus, hear about findings and discuss next steps, and have some kai.

Excellent - this school has reinstated masks for the time being. A timely decision as rates of a number of infections including Covid are increasing in communities.
Love to see a principal ignoring Disabled students calls for masks in school + instead spinning the corridor as actually a vibrant place to work.
(This is my old intermediate & from memory the corridors are like something from a Victorian hospital) stuff.co.nz/pou-tiaki/128824…

I welcome the Family Violence Death Review Committee’s latest report that highlights the lack of accessible support for disabled people and their whānau as well as the risk of financial abuse when disabled people do not have control of their finances.

You can’t make this shit up … Waikato uni - we going to remove mask mandate in July mid winter peak chaos …. Next point we are developing a disability action plan

30 out of 100 people in hospital with COVID are Pasifika, even though we only make up 9 in 100 of the general population. Outlawing any policy that tries to address this reality because it is "discriminatory" shows the race card is as strong as ever ahead of the next election

This is really important in so many spheres. We need to ensure actions live up to the words; words on their own can do more harm than good by masking reality. Always good to be reminded!
amongst yesterdays evidence is the theme that beautiful words on the page of a plan are harmful if they are used to silence complaints. Eg Crown is not contracting with Māori providers fairly isn’t “solved” by an action plan that says Māori providers are important #wai2575
