The amount of times we expose our vulnerabilities all for the sake of ensuring someone else is ok is draining, but it is necessary and the price we pay for authenticity. Arohanui ki te tangata 🥺

t has always been about what the haka represents! The act of Mana Motuhake, Tino Rangatiratanga, Manaakitanga, Arohatanga and above all Te Kotahitanga o ngā iwi Māori!

Haka is an act of love but it can also serve as a total act of defiance!

I have seen some petty asf, nastiness on this app which i liken to the downgraded version of twitter or x whatever the eff it wants to be! Is there any platform that is just about healthy discussion without making it personal 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sources have revealed that the Lead Coordination Minister’s Group for the Governments Response to the Abuse in Care Inquiry were not all on the same page when it came to redress, with some apparently saying that it was not enough and that it should be more, warranting this statement by Willis!

Forget the Govt austerity Budget 2025.

You’re the Minister of Finance now.

What’s your first move?
GST off kai?
Homes our people can actually live in?

Before the debates, before the noise, we have karakia - not just a ritual, but a reminder.
Of who we are.
Of why we’re here.
Of who we serve.

It’s Budget confession week. Ministers front up on where the money went… landlords won, Māori, Pasifika, Rainbow, Woman, Youth lost.

Govt call it “growth”. We call it a rort
Min Police. Climate. Māori Dev. Social Dev. Let’s hear the excuses.

The majority of the $774m in todays pre budget announcement will be to strengthen the current systems that are responsible for the abuse inflicted on survivors! It is an absolute joke!

Some people must be regretting their life choices on Saturday, 14 October 2023.

Hope the tax cuts were worth the patriarchy, pay cuts, and public service carnage.

Make better choices in 2026 - our mokos are watching.

Ōtepoti gathered to protect our 🌈whānau. This gender bill erases trans, intersex & non-binary lives. If NZFirst want to drag us back in time, they can ride a horse & carriage outta here.

Our 🏳️‍🌈 community are not going anywhere. We rise in love & solidarity

Winston Peters is proposing new legislation that will define the term "woman" as "an adult human biological female".
