Well, well!
Look at Erica Stanford supporting the original Pay Equity Act - with Nicola Willis nodding in support. Hollow words now - guess they don’t care about women and girls. #nzpol

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

A bit of a clash of cultures! I’m gonna try harder with Te Reo, it’s a beautiful language and no pack of peely wally politicians are going to tell me I have to speak English! I had enough of that in Scotland.

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! 😤
