John Campbell shows empathy for rangatahi in prison, says facts & gets accolades; a young brown woman MP does the same & is subjected to a deranged media circus. Todd Muller's breakdown gets the kid-glove treatment; Golriz is still being hunted like prey. If only this phenomenon... had a NAME??

I'm going to Portugal in July for top surgery because it's nearly impossible to get it publicly funded here. Going private would cost upwards of $23,000.
I'm asking for your help to cover the surgery cost 💚
Thank you to those who have already donated 🥺

Everyone knows the mark of a great country is how many children are actively starving.
Whether parents can afford to make their kids a Marmite sandwich is irrelevant. Lunches were introduced because kids didn't have food, the reason doesn't matter. Do we accept responsibility as a society for making sure our kids have kai? That should be a pretty simple question for us to answer.

The magic of photorealistic portraiture is the feeling of that person being brought to life in front of you and seeing the light shining in Efeso’s eyes today as his mural nears completion, was powerful, and emotional. One year today, and the loss is still immeasurable. Our #SouthAuckland legend.
