Nō tāwāhi ōku tūpuna, but trying to be the best tangata tauiwi I can be. Kei te ako tonu au i te reo Māori.
I love sports, esp cricket (White Ferns/Black Caps/Blaze/Firebirds) and rugby (Black Ferns/ABs/Poua/Lions), but also, Up The Wahs!
Kia pai tō rā :-)
Kia kaha ngā Mamaku karawhiua!

Go the Black Ferns, I know you'll do us proud

Yee fucken haa, ka rawe our wonderful Black Ferns with their win today to wrestle back the Pac4 trophy from worthy opponents Canada. And how good was Portia Woodman-Wickliffe with 6, yes, 6 tries (equal with Marc fucking Ellis of all people) for the most tries in a game. Tino pai rawa atu!!!

Ok so watching today's HBJ and despite the amazing effort of Green to get 126, PInglis somehow made 86 ( what a star!) , but ultimately my favourite Eden Carson made 59 to take the HBJ shield. Kia kaha Ōtakou!

Ok no, I'm gonna come out and say it even as a Blaze supporter: Otago were robbed in that Super Smash final. It has bothered me ever since that day at the Basin: how fair is it that the Blaze got to call in 2 Aussies, given they had Codyre and Wakelin and Williams and Bryant

Fucken A well done the Sparks winning the HBJ, Eden Carson what a legend

Been out in the garden this arvo so just catching up on the Super Rugby Aupiki... that Manawa - Matatū game was brilliant, well done Hannah King and Amy Du Plessis!

Go the Blaze!

Couldn't quite make it down the Basin for today's game, but Xara Jetly - what a legend, 2 Hinds players bowled out in her first over! 🏏🇳🇿 #BlazevHinds

I submitted on Treaty, Regulatory Standards and Boot Camps bills, please make your own submission- here how below!
Right! The Oranga Tamariki Amendment Bill submission is done. I almost overlooked it in favour of the Regulatory Standards Bill but Emily Writes made great list with dates & points & I realised I was best placed to submit on it due to my experience with the exact kids that bill targets 🙌
OK fine, what submissions do I have to make FFS?!
Don't worry - I got you. Here's everything you need in one place!

July reading challenge, ritenga reo Māori. It's very slow going for me, but fun nonetheless. Only managed 3 chapters so far, at about half a chapter a night. But, how freaking ātaahua is this pukapuka?

Wehi nā! Kua toa te kapa Kānata ki ngā Mamaku!

Holy shit, the Maple lovers have beaten the Black Ferns, 22-19 in an enthralling match, which in turn means the Canadians have won the Pac4 series already! Well deserved win for our neighbours acrossTe Moana-nui-a-kiwa

Rugby needs to sort its game laws out. A clear try incorrectly given "held up" by the ref who admittedly was in an unfortunate spot, with replays clearly showing the grounding. Honestly I am struggling to continue to care about a game that won't do its utmost to assist refs who simply can't be

E tama! Wehi nā! Omfg! I've been away at noho marae this weekend so only just got to sit down and watch yesterday's Super Rugby Aupiki final, and what a fucking game! What an advertisement for women's rugby! Wow, well done you Blues, great you won after demolishing my Poua 50-ish to (mumble mumble)
