Ya know, I’ve been programming Indigenous films for 12 years and every year I continue to be shocked by new levels of colonial and capitalist depravity

Watching a doco on an Indigenous fight against oil and gas on their whenua and the oil company gifted them a slab of plastic bottled water and packets of cigarettes as a sign of peace. This happened in the last couple of years. I wish I was joking.

This government has a policy of increasing the prison population, which doesn’t really benefit any of us at all. We knows prisons don’t work and incarceration generally worsens outcomes. If life is already hard, prison makes it worse, and even harder to get out of a cycle of poverty.

What does Luxon actually do. He doesn’t have any portfolios, he evidently doesn’t read anything and isn’t across anything, he doesn’t appear to have any interest or respect for the people of Aotearoa. Why are you there?

I used a video editor to analyse the video + estimated the size of the space using google maps
Based on that, the lower bound of the number of people in the video is about 83,000 people. Plus the 4,000 already at Parliament house (according to @tzemingdynasty.bsky.social) that makes 87,000 people.

Don’t forget that the National Party campaigned on getting rid of Te Aka Whai Ora, they fed anti reo Māori sentiment. Besides the Treaty Principles Bill, this govt has attacked Māori wards and cogovernance, is repealing section 7aa, and is generally, proactively working to make Māori lives harder.

“Pākehā mā, you should not fear Māori liberation. Because Māori liberation goes hand in hand with the liberation of all people who live in Aotearoa... Everyone gets a feed on this marae. No one gets left behind."

This excellent piece sums up a great deal of what bugs me about the framing of "impartiality" in news media. Nevak Rogers takes leave to march with her whanau and it's news, but Soper and HDPA *use their actual media platform* to scorn the hikoi and that's different? thespinoff.co.nz/politics/19-...
Who gets to have an opinion on the hīkoi and who must remain ‘impartial’?
Newsrooms of old were apparently more impartial. But that’s only because everyone shared the same biases.
