Encourage any women you know who have made a report to Police about safety concerns or violence to request a copy of the file. You can do it online or in person. If the file shows that it wasn't dealt with appropriately, make a formal complaint. We need to show that it's systemic.

There was the usual rectal exam for prostate issues/cancer, but because that was considered "unnecessarily undignified" a blood test for PSA was swiftly developed.

I seriously want to know now, is there any screening procedure in men's health that is that painful?

Recalling the time some male Wellington leaders, including Police, were outraged that I hadn’t publicly condemned Tamatha Paul. One even called me out in front of other community leaders. Many of us connected to marginalised communities know Tam was speaking truth, which we’re seeing play out live.

1 point. I had a boombox (we called them *cough* 'ghettoblasters' at the time) - used it to record songs from the radio, and tape to tape - but I never put it on my shoulder. That always seemed a very US thing to me, not something done as much in AoNZ.

Only 9% of plastics ever made have been recycled. Clever industry campaigns have shifted the costs of their own waste onto consumers.
