I remind the kids to put their clocks forward when they go to bed, and they scoff at me. "Our phones do it automatically" they say 🤷‍♀️

A recent review of the Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme at the University of Auckland is yet to be released, but brings up a stale narrative.

Doctors say that the measles outbreak in Pennsylvania is likely due to low rates of vaccination. A guy who snorts cocaine off toilet seats and drives around with dead bear cubs in his van says it’s caused by chemtrails. For busy Americans, it can be hard to know who to trust.

I saw the Labour Party's social media video clip of this exchange and went to find the full video because I thought surely it wasn't really as bad as it seemed. Context didn't make it better.

A friend's grandchild died overnight from Influenza A. Only a couple of months old. All those f_%wits out there who refuse to get vaccinated, who say "it's only a cold", who blame underlying conditions. This is on you.

This echoes the uproar in Ngāmotu/New Plymouth when carparks were removed to build a protected cycle lane. Onroad carparks are never guaranteed for your exclusive use to store your private possessions.
