If you were wondering why people are being left to die in toilets in our hospitals currently, a quick glance at this graph of health workforce numbers under the last two governments tells you which one stopped hiring nurses and has been lying about it. #nzpol
A graph of NZ health workforce nursing FTEs over the years 2018-2025, with Labour's hiring in red and National's in blue. It's clear at a glance that hiring went steadily up under the last government and has been flat under this one.

Seen on a random Wellington side street on a really difficult day. It cheered me up.

Post a photo from your camera roll no one else has ever seen
The last reds and purples of sunset light the clouds above Evans Bay, Aotearoa New Zealand, with the dark shapes of hills just visible in the foreground and the distance. Before we moved last year, this was the view from our living room; I took this shot to aid my memory.

@adapalmer.bsky.social Today before work I picked up my copy of INVENTING THE RENAISSANCE, rode to this high point above Wellington, and lay in the shade for a while. I had time to read the contents. It was like reading the outline of a sparkling new postgrad course. Perfect start to my day.
The city of Wellington viewed from the Brooklyn Wind Turbine on a perfect summer day. A sea of cloud is moving in towards the Miramar peninsular over the sea from the south, with the Orongoronga Ranges visible in the distance beyond, and the bulk of the city in sunshine.

Best crowd vibe I've experienced in my nearly six decades. These beautiful people deserve a better government. Kill the bill. #hīkoi
The Māori tino rangatiratanga flag flies over a crowd assembling to begin the final stage of the national hikoi (peaceful protest march) against the racist Treaty Principles Bill currently before Aotearoa New Zealand's parliament.
