Reflecting on Kim Hill: the skill of being fully present, then razor sharp astute, present then astute, leaning forward then back. So impressive. So needed in a democracy.

Kim Hill's last show about to go live whānau!

Narrowneck, Auckland.

The monsters turned out to just be trees. 🌳

About the meeting with my local MP: 📸 Look at this post on Facebook www.facebook.com/695977185/po...

Went to see my local MP today about Gaza. It went surprisingly well and I've just heard the govt is going to be calling for a ceasefire! Thank freaking goodness 🙏

Don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking that standing against genocide is being against a particular ethnic group of people. Standing against genocide is simply pro humanity. There are enough horrendous diseases and accidents that take us humans out without us turning against each other.

Can our govt please stop using the self defence line? That was relevant in the days immediately after the Hamas attack. It's completely ridiculous now. Update your lines already. #nzpol

“David (Seymour) isn’t a historian, lawyer or reo expert. When I interviewed him before the election, he refused to name any iwi leader, academic or activist who has advised him. But without a hint of irony, he takes it upon himself to define Te Tiriti.” e-tangata.co.nz/comment-and-...

Yaay France! 🇫🇷 Macron calls for ceasefire. Now that is leadership.

You can't build a Holy land on the mass graves of children.

If anyone is feeling crappy about themselves today I tried on a top to see if it still fit me this morning and had to cut myself out. Enjoy the rest of your day.

In 2008 TVNZ sent me to Rwanda. I saw the aftermath of genocide. I wondered how the world could've done nothing while it happened... now I know. I won't sit back and do nothing while I watch another genocide happening before my eyes.

I'm really into writing short fiction. Mainly to do lists.

When someone asks you to keep an ear out and you're like sure, no problem.

The election results are out, RNZ should be talking about it! grrr you're the state broadcaster guys! Get your act together. #nzpol

"Use your words" .. I used to tell my swimming students that when they had big emotions. I now need to tell myself and other adults the same 🙏 use your words 🙏

Um, breakfast is scheduled for 7:30 and it's now 7:32. This unexpected change has not been approved.

Learnt this the hard way, if an employer self identifies as an alpha male, don't work for them, just trust me on this 🙏

Moon watching 🌙

Can you give a round of applause to Cāren? This is so soo impressive. 🙏 www.instagram.com/reel/Cy2Qts-...

So proud of this wāhine toa, she is on fire!! 🔥🔥 instagram.com/stories/aote...

Peace has never been premised by someone winning the game of who's right.

Heart deeply aching in the midst of this horrible conflict between Palestine and Israel. So incredibly heavy.

Is it just me who wondered how Hipkins ex would be feeling having him publicly announce a new relationship so soon after their separation?

Think this is Hipkins Partner. www.stuff.co.nz/manawatu-sta...

Why do Luxon's kids have American accents?

Something needs to be done to protect our drinking water in NZ www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Yes.

Capitalism creates poverty and then criminalises it.

"we may actually have achieved the remarkable perversity of having economic policies that create the disadvantage we then spend election campaigns arguing over how best to punish the consequences of." Big breath. www.1news.co.nz/2023/09/30/j...

Gosh :( www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/election-... Te Pāti Māori candidate victim of home invasion, receives threatening letter

Whoever is doing the PR for 3 Waters needs to be using this sinkhole and sewage leak to get the message out. Please.

Does Luxon think there should be consequences for him not meeting the promised deadline for the release of their fiscal policy before voting starts? Keeps going on about targets, outcomes, discipline...

Where are all the #nztwitter fam at? I want to follow you all! Loving the #kikorangi feed.

This is exactly it. It's the we know what's best for you and we will force you to think that way thing.

Perhaps National think if people were just forced to get a job, any job, their problems would be solved. If only life was that simple. They're tapping into that old school "tough love" idea, the "this is what's best for you" punitive approach. Sigh.

What a troubling interview. This populist policy clearly hasn't been well thought through and is using those with the least power, influence and resources as political pawns. It's frankly disgusting. Our Tangata are too precious to break. #nzpol www.rnz.co.nz/audio/player...

If you think you love freedom but you don't care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege. #nzpol

This shows such a lack of understanding of poverty.

Very grey clouds to my left.. this beauty to my right 🙏 ..and two golden boys who dragged me out to the house to see it.
