This is absolutely fantastic. As Chlöe says, politics is just a game to some politicians. A way to exert power and line themselves up for comfortable well paid jobs in the future. They can’t fathom that not everyone is like them. This shouldn’t come as a shock but I’m voting ✅✅ @greens.org.nz

(Most) NZ’ers take this for granted, but from perspective of someone who has only ever known democratic deficit, backsliding, & decay - this is v. special, and so wonderful. There’s something sacred about elections, & exercise of franchise only those who have suffered loss of both appreciate. #nzpol

Studied Ansell's livestream. Targeting of MPs Paul, & Verrall was coordinated. Anti-vaxxer Barry Young on stage levelling accusations of mass murder, an associate heckling on cue, Ansell narrating for online redistribution. This wasn't just heckling, but a production designed for viral replication.

Everyone is either sick or knows someone who's sick and you know what? It's the Government's fault. Please share this article as widely as you can. This amount of mass illness isn't a coincidence, it's a choice they're making for you #nzpol www.emilywrites.co.nz/this-governm...

This government is making you sick

This morning I spoke to RNZ about the problem of insecure work at our universities. Research staff across the country are made to work under perpetual fixed-term contracts with no clear route to secure jobs. www.rnz.co.nz/national/pro...

rnz.co.nz

What's driving the growth of "Frankenjobs" in our universities?

Researchers working in the university sector say their fixed term contracts are more like "Frankenjobs", pieced together with short term funding and limited hours.

Obviously nothing has pissed me off quite as much as them killing the Marsden Fund (👉 my 📌 post), but govt claiming that the Science Investment Plan does not cut funding when the plan itself says “core science and research funding is projected to decline in future years” was the icing on the cake.

Luxon wants to ‘brutally commercialise’ science, but cuts threaten its foundation

Comment from Auckland University: Decades of research funding cannot be replaced by funding the commercialisation of that science

The Free Speech Union having their CE and board member stand as candidates for Internet NZ and emailing their members to rank them 1 and 2 and not rank any other candidates feels like it should be more of a news story. It's antithetical to a genuine election and the democratic process.

Remember a year ago when we all joined Internet NZ to keep the FSU from succeeding in its takeover attempt? Well, they're trying again this year, and another TERF who runs a separate anti-trans hate group is also trying to get on the board. Let's keep them out again 💪

Poster for Hinātore: The First Light art exhibition. Set on a bluish green background, to the right is a cartoon drawing of a face representing the Māori atua Hinātore. She is portrayed in dark purple with white outlines. Her hair is pulled back from her face by a head band and she wears a long thin earing in her ear. She has a moko kauae. Her eye is glowing with a blue-white light. To the top left in greeny-white writing is the word 'Hinātore' in large capital letters. Under that, in smaller capitals are the words 'The First Light'. Under that it says: 'An immersive exhibition exploring Māori pūrākau through bioluminescence, maho toi, and Western science.' Below that are the words 'Project Space, Ground floor, in bold letters followed by Main Fine Arts Building 432, 20 Whitaker Place, Grafton, Auckland.
