Kia ora, are there any fluent te reo speakers on here who could help? I have a pātai. 11yr old has a mahi toi piece that she wants to name. It is about moving through life with aroha. Is ‘Haere i Runga i te ngākau aroha’ correct? Ngā mihi nui.

👏👏👏

'But while this warning was duly reported, it has barely interrupted the largely episodic nature of climate coverage in mainstream media, which continues to look from day to day as though we weren’t on the precipice of irrevocable disaster.' timesofsandiego.com/opinion/2024...

Extreme rainfall events a ‘peek into the future', climate experts say 😮‍💨 #nzpol

Watching a stream of the protest in Minnesota and it has such a huge union presence. Massive show of solidarity and people power. In negative temps! The unity is 🔥

15 years on from the Pike River disaster where their men were killed, Sonya Rockhouse and Anna Osborne explain what a corporate manslaughter law would've meant for them. #nzpol

If you need any evidence that our trans whānau bare the brunt of this society that serves none of us. We should be protecting our trans whānau at all costs.

Rotten from the top down. “Twenty police staff investigated over 'misuse and inappropriate content” www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

A 3 part comedy, AKA 'They lied & many of you bough the lie'. I think I might disown my cousins who are all working class poor who have all consumed the National trickle down cool aid.

Youngests kura coming through with their commitment to te Tiriti. “Our commitment is not driven by compliance or politics - it is driven by what is right for our students.”

Two birds, one stone. For the love of humanity somebody do it nooooow.

The select committee report on the Regulatory Standards Bill is in. 📝166,000 submissions. ❌98.7% opposed. Yet National are going to continue supporting it. 🗣New Zealand could not have been louder, but Luxon still isn’t listening.

Gaza absolutely must have a harbor and airport. No part of the blockade can be allowed to remain. Israel cannot be allowed to have control or jurisdiction over Palestinians ever again. There is not a person on earth anymore who genuinely believes that Israel deals in good faith with Palestine.

Damn. Phillipstown hub in Ōtautahi is set to close for land repurposing. Its been an incredible hapori space for 10 years, on an old school site. Lot of community groups, classes & services use the space, massive māra kai, galas & activities each year. Gunna be hard to find space another like it.

Fucking hell. This wasn’t on my radar. #nzpol thank you Emily Writes ‼️Submissions close at 2pm TODAY Oct 6th! ‼️ This amendment makes it an offense to protest *near residential areas. This is fascist suppression of free speech 101. www3.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

If you haven't read Manufacturing Consent by Herman and Chomsky I highly recommend it. Specifically because it does such a good job of leading you from the position of "knowing" the media are biased to shocking you with just how deliberately untruthful it is.

At wānanga this week we were asked to write a haiku using tika, pono and aroha. This is what I came up with. Am very much a beginner with my te reo & welcome any feedback. Manaakitanga, mahara ki aroha, tika me pono.

Flood of reports continue from Kiwis being deleted or moved off the Maori roll. This concerns every single Kiwi who cares about NZ. Tomorrow is the cut off for local elections & next step is more complex special voting. EC says they've moved some to dormant but reports are highly suspect #nzpol

Recommend extending this attitude into multiple areas within your community. Run for your school and community boards, join your local PTA, fuck, run for council! Show up to counter the fascist cunce.

While everyone is in a democratic mood: submissions are open on national's voter suppression bill. I expect submission guides will emerge soon. But if you already know what you want to say, go wild www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Whether removing people from the Māori roll is intentional or part of some 'administrative error', it provides a really solid example of why people need to be able to update their enrolment details right up to the final day of an election. #NZPol

“I will continue to do what I have to do," UN human rights expert Francesa Albanese told reporters in Ljubljana in response to US sanctions announced against her on Wednesday. "Yes, of course, it will be challenging... I'm putting everything I have on the line," she added.

That disgusting little fuck seymour loves to claim indigeneity when it suits doesn’t he. Speaks on behalf of Māori to the UN telling them the RSB is good, actually. The irony of seymour acting aggrieved about sovereignty when protecting a bill that seeks to further erase tinorangatiratanga 😡

BREAKING: Israel has killed at least 42 Palestinians in Gaza, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera, as Israeli forces again target people waiting for food and hospitals struggle to treat the wounded. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/9f3hg8

Jfc hes a prick. Knows full well from the river to the sea isnt a call to wipe Jewish people off the planet. Fuck the IOF. And anyone in a position of power who is enabling the genocide of 2.3 million people caged in an open air prison.

Mānawatia a Matariki Why don't you celebrate the new year with a submission against the Regulatory Standards Bill? www.parliament.nz/en/pb/sc/mak...

Mānawatia a Matariki mā Puanga e hoa mā!

10yr old got called a n***** by a classmate during an anti-Māori tantrum triggered by Matariki after school yesterday & then his mum went off yelling at my kid after she told him to shut up so I’m meeting with the teachers to make sure this isn’t ignored. Our kids deserve to be safe from bigotry.

NZ health system failing tangata whaikaha. Ablism built into the system. Article covers experiences in the physical health space and it’s the same in the mental health side of the system too. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

Colonisers sticking together tracks 🙄 In all seriousness tho, its time to get vocal about Aotearoas position should WW3 kick off. To all parties. Not so worried about TPM & Greens, but if AUS & UK Labour go in, then theres a real possibility NZLab will follow. Hard pass.

Destiny Church tried to disrupt a pride rally in Blenheim on Saturday. They failed. Pride Wairau is to foster a safe and inclusive Marlborough for all. Their rally showed that. 🏳️‍🌈❤️ Destiny Church members slunk off after being out-sung and out-danced at the rally. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3607...
