The Marsden Fund rules say “Collaborating researchers from outside New Zealand can be included in proposals but are not able to receive direct funding support for their time or institutional costs”.

I was at a meeting earlier this year hosted by the Auckland City Mission. They are doing awesome work that I think is well worth supporting.

“These books are written by people living among us,” he says. “Each one explores from a multi-generational point of view what this place means to us and how we can live good lives in our own times. They range from deeply personal stories of joy and grief to insightful analyses of systemic failings

‘Thriving’ Māori economies revealed in new report
The Māori economy is “thriving”, recent statistics have revealed, but a new report shows Māori businesses do not always measure their success monetarily.

Both coalition agreements commit to principled decision-making based on rigorous cost-benefit analysis. The regulatory impact statement for the bill demonstrates the bill does not meet this standard. The RIS could not provide any quantified benefits.

Paul Dalziel @pcd65.bsky.social · 05/07/2025
A standout from the book for me is the way the research team remained utterly committed to peer review even under the most extraordinary time pressures. An outstanding example of the scientific method in practice.

Paul Dalziel @pcd65.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
Highly recommend this book. The inside story on science in action under all sorts of pressures while remaining true to fundamental principles such as peer review is inspiring. The narrative itself is very well written. An important book!

The contribution of the Waitangi Tribunal to our nation over the last five decades deserves to be celebrated. With no power except to make recommendations on the strength of historical evidence, their wisdom and integrity has enabled great steps forward by the whole country. Toitū Te Tiriti.

“Aotearoa New Zealand is close to achieving reconciliation of the land dispossessions made during colonisation because the Waitangi Tribunal has made wise recommendations based on its practical application of the principles of te Tiriti o Waitangi.”

It can only mean the government wants highly productive firms to be squeezed out by firms competing on how low they can force wages. This is the opposite of economic development. 🙁

Submitted on the TPB. By ignoring the treaty principle of exchange, the Bill misses the whole purpose of the peacetime treaty in 1840 and makes very serious errors of interpretation as a result. Let’s celebrate 50 years of the Waitangi Tribunal and its brilliant work on the principles.

Paul Dalziel @pcd65.bsky.social · 04/01/2025
David Seymour mentioned the principle of redress in his Cabinet Paper, but it is not one of his three “principles” in the Bill. As you say, the Bill is a shallow and unconscionable political stunt.

“It was in fact, and remains to this day, a crime against humanity.” Totally agree, which is why Te Tiriti MUST be honoured today. Toitū te mana o te whenua, toitū te mana motuhake, toitū te tiriti o Waitangi.

Absolutely. It starts with the Indigenous science that allowed Māori ancestors to voyage across Moana-nui-a-Kiwa 800 years ago.
