“Despite producing enough food to feed 40 million people annually, Aotearoa allows its most vulnerable tamariki to go hungry. Food insecurity here is one of the worst in the OECD, and disproportionately affects Māori and Pasifika children.” — Dr Madeline Shelling.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

In 2018, 20% of trans people in Aotearoa had avoided seeing a doctor because of fear about how they'd be treated for their gender. In 2022, that had dropped to 11%! There's been so much work that has gone into this - and tho there are other barriers, I think this is a win we should celebrate

Read our latest publication here ojs.victoria.ac.nz/nzsr/article... It was written a while ago when there was more hope and positive change in our research sector but it is very relevant within the current climate we are working in

#NZpol "Owning up to our troubled past requires guts and grit. No one ever said it would be easy. But it is an essential step in the process of maturing as a society." The TPB is part of a naked appeal by ACT to all who'd prefer we remain stunted in our national growth. Get a submission in TODAY!

This thread is so important. Just take 5 mins to write that you oppose X bill. If you need, cut and paste a few lines from someone else’s work. But KEY message- lots of really smart people will use their expertise to articulate complex things well, your job is to simply state your position.

I've just published my own submission to Manatū Hauora's consultation on the right of transgender children in Aotearoa to access the healthcare they need - consultation they have opened on request from Minister Reti, with no good justification. It's long, but may be useful for your own submission.

Reminder: Submissions on the Treaty Principles Bill close 7 January. Don Brash just emailed his followers saying they need to submit in support of the bill or Māori won't let them go to the beach anymore. Even if it's only a paragraph or two, it's important to get your opposition on the record.

This paper came out last year, but is making the rounds here on bluesky. Women favulty leave their jobs at higher rates than men, and most report it is workplace climate that drives them away. #toxicdepartments
