Been thinking about the whyte Australian woman who named her athleisure wear company Aroha - a kupu Māori that she can't pronounce correctly - because her stepdaughter has whakapapa Māori & she thought she had a right to appr. it. She is currently doubling down cause self awareness isn't her thing.

I'm still mad about this - see the full list of cut projects from the money taken from climate polluters, which would help adaptation and mitigation efforts of the recent weather events, including $900M from the Emergency Response Fund - now frittered away.

This thread that you started @mehr.nz hits the nail on the head. Not sure if you know about Nicky Hager's book 'Dirty Politics', but it is a good read. Collins is a dastardly feature in it. Hager won every defamation suit brought against what he wrote in that book.

Evergreen reminder that this was something she came up with, not something she was advised to do. In fact she was pretty specifically advised it was a terrible idea (it was) but she went ahead with it anyway because something something Not Real Science
