This piece absolutely nails it and is a must read. This paragraph brought me to a standstill because it's also how we've gone from broad acceptance of trans people to journalists including comment from "gender criticals" fighting for "common sense" on every trans story.

Another layer of consideration: even if this is a genuine representation of a plethora of parental voices, we should consider also how it can be deployed in media disputes going forward. It is expressly positioned as a voice for parents, in opposition to teachers or public servants. What this will mean in practice, it seems likely, is that every time something new is introduced to the education system, the media will balance out the teacher or ministry explanation with a Parents Alliance reply. Detailed research and evidence-based conclusions will be held to the standard of
"common sense". And that, de facto, will serve the greater project of the right, undermining the idea of government itself.

Perfect weather today, so I decided to lock myself in a darkroom for 4 hours. 👍

A vibrant cyan sky above some trees, including two very tropical looking palm trees. There's only a tiny smidgen of a cloud.

An entirely red photo, taken under safelight, of a darkroom sink with 3 processing trays, and a washer with a print and some tear strips in it. Above the sink there's a complex array of pipes for the washer.

A pair of black and white prints, both prints are from the same negative. They show a dilapidated, falling down green house set amongst tall grass, under an overcast sky. The sky has been burned in in order to enhance the drama, making it darker. The white fabric of the once greenhouse has been dodged, becoming nearly white like a ghostly apparition above the now fallow fields.

Worth remembering that if it costs the government $4.5b to reverse the gender pay tax, then it costs the women affected $4.5b to leave it in place.

I missed at least one bus taking these, but the light was perfect, and it was right next to the stop. How could I not? (Emphasis on the "was", it's all been razed now, less than a month later.) Kodak gold 200 in the Rolleicord Va. #photography #filmphotography

A photo from the inside of a garage, but the outer walls are missing, letting us look through the studs out into a back yard There's an open door, painted yellow with sheet metal art of a landscape on it. At the bottom of the door, lego bricks of carious colors are scattered. On one of the joists, a shell necklace is draped over it. Near the bottom of the image the corner of a newspaper is visible, on the left side a drawn blind covers a segment of the studs, still open to the air. Behind that is a lawn, with glimpses of a bike, classic rotary hoist, and lawn chair all visible through the studs.

A front on shot of a garage, stripped of any walls or exterior covering, allowing us to see inside. There's countless little details to look at, a yellow oilskin raincoat hung in the front left, hubcaps displayed along the right wall, a few empty lion red bottles next to an overturned piece of mid-century furniture, a hacksaw and pentagonal ceramic tile adorn a back wall. The colors are fairly neutral, with bright warm golden yellow details, and a pastel blue sky above.

If you're wondering why the media will give Farrar, Williams a good old run at denying everything without being specific or proving anything, it's because Hager criticises the media for their uncritical platforming of both of them and calls them lazy which is 100% correct.

Hager also criticised the media's role, suggesting it contributed to poor transparency.

"Despite all their undeclared political machinations, both Farrar and Williams are often interviewed uncritically in the mainstream media - far more often than most genuinely independent experts and commentators.

"At the time of writing, for instance, Radio New Zealand had interviewed Farrar about 600 times since 2007, an astonishing amount of coverage considering that he is one of the least independent people available. He is often introduced with labels such as 'polling company maestro', while Williams is given labels such as 'anti-waste campaigner'. It is lazy journalism."
