Would love one but away too much and rental doesn't allow pets 😢
#SecretSantaAoNZ is a great chance to get to know not only your future Santee but also everyone else taking part. I will be posting up questions you can reply to or quote to help with sleuthing.
(PS photos for this particular question are always appreciated)

Was given my giftee today and I am really happy. Guess it is time for some #hints about me. I passionately hate the colours pink and purple. I am a food challenged (lactose and gluten intolerant) foodie who loves travelling/hiking #MWSecretSantaAoNZ

I'll go even further. Name suppression needs to be removed completely. We can bring back some extremely limited exceptions (juvenile crimes, etc), but the current system is just "stay anonymous while doing crimes" for rich white people.
Name suppression laws need to be revisited because they end being used to shelter the well off and connected.
And the courts need to reconsider the way they prioritise the reputations and livelihoods of perpetrators over the harms done to victims and the need to protect people from predators.
