We submitted our personal statements to Privileges Committee, asserting our truth. We expect to be made an example of but we showed our full truth as Māori. If the price for that is political discipline, we wear it with mana. Firm in our tikanga with dignity, with whakapapa and with purpose.#nzpol

Got the Rona @ work in Nov22. Long covid since March23. I still mask @ work, ‘expert’ colleague tells me as soon as the virus leaves the body it’s dead so it’s impossible to catch it just by passing someone. The ignorance is unbelievable. I guess this must be a mass immaculate infection! 😤
