“People like David Seymour like to frame what we’re doing as selecting medical students based on race. No, that’s actually the issue we’re trying to correct — historically our admissions processes have selected an overwhelmingly Pākehā student cohort.” — Professor Papaarangi Reid.

I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy. Loved it - very funny, informative, and delightful. Beautiful drawings. Like a Bill Bryson journey through dog world. Will make you remember every ridiculous dog you have ever known. Perfect Christmas present.

Opened it and started reading and now it’s nearly 10 am and I should get up and have breakfast. Very very funny. I don’t often laugh out loud when reading g but it’s one of those books.

White professor ‘ MattGPT ‘ whose most recent book contained fabricated quotations, non-existent source references, & left ChatGPT URLs accidentally embedded in footnotes is sad about Jason Arday’s death but still wants Arday & all black academia held to higher standards than his own writing .

On the one hand, I’m getting really tired of gene testing only being a requirement on women in sport. On the other, it shows just how bullshit all these policies are.

Same play, three times this term: 1. Lodge a bill that's too far. 2. Public outcry; minister: "That's on me." 3. Pass a softer version, still further than where we started. Bishop on Fast-track ministers. Brown on the LNG levy. Potaka, today, on Conservation sale clauses. #nzpol

Weird that RNZ didn't include updated budget forecasts in this target chart today. I've helped them out. I am guessing that this is because Govt have only just released the March 2026 quarterly update. Will we get a quarterly update for June 2026 before the election? www.rnz.co.nz/news/politic...

“Fixing the basics, building the future" says National. They mean embedding the inequality tower, and they’re doing that with cuts to jobs, services & support - catapulting people to the bottom floor while sending an elevator of cash to the top floor. #nzpol thespinoff.co.nz/society/31-0...

With no mention by said reporter that people (mostly women and often lower paid roles) are already paying for lack of pay equity. it’s not a new cost.

No issue with ensuring people like your mum could get a tipple with the groceries - this is rapid delivery - so meeting a different market. Frankly when I desperately need rapid delivery of ice cream I’m good with not being able to add a bottle of wine :)

Banned: there is lots of evidence about alcohol related harm, and reducing access to cheap alcohol is critical. For those wondering, spend a day in a court or emergency department and see the extent of the issues. Banning does not work and is not necessary, but availability must be controlled.

“Richard Shaw doesn’t shy away from examining the myths that Pākehā tell themselves about life in New Zealand” The Government is both relying on those myths and amplifying them through actions and policies. It’s the water ACT bathes in and Seymour’s voice is the dirty washing that emerges. #nzpol

Yup, the article today requires access to at least $700k capital, to buy the property, and then money for solar and an a Ev for that extra bit of thrifty saving. And enough income to be able to buy in bulk. You too can save heaps if you own property and are financially secure.

I think we can assume Luxon has a new leadership book (or linked In article) that uses that language. He really liked it. He probably sent his team copies of the book or the linked in article.
