Think it was holds up pretty well.
And a different government is hiding from scrutiny in multiple different ways.

If you are a NZ author, I urge you to check the LibGEN database to see if your books have been scrapped by Meta. If so, the NZSA is collecting names (and book titles) in preparation for an international class action lawsuit. #NZWrites #WritingCommunity authors.org.nz/books-scrape...

Hell of a list of signatories.
Let's get this clear; these are some of the wealthiest (4 figure hourly rates) but also sharpest litigators in the country. This is not a group demographically disposed to 'woke'. This is their considered view of the law.

Why did the insomniac not sleep last night, you ask? She planned out an entire essay collection.
(Yes, I’m still working on the novel. It’s almost finished, I promise!)

This is a great article - good to see the facts clearly stated. Disgusted that our govt are so ignorant even of recent history, since the Crown made a settlement with Moriori in 2021, a pretty clear indicator they’re still here & strong! Thinking of Moriori friends and hūnau.
