What do you do when the man who said you should have "the living shit beaten out of you" keeps sitting in the front row of candidate events?
You make him meet your eye.
You make him listen to the gasps of outrage when you say his words outloud.
You make him listen to the applause you get.

New Zealand joins countries in statement on recognition of Palestine
New Zealand joins countries in statement on recognition of Palestine
It comes after the UK announced it would recognise the state of Palestine unless Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza.

Reading Vincent O'Malley's The Invasion of the Waikato, and struck by how one of the successes of colonisation is the erasure from the Pākehā consciousness that this violence even occurred in the first place. Almost every site is one I have visited or driven through hundreds, thousands of times.
