Just finished listening to this and I have a lump in my throat. This essay is a powerful testimony to the shocking levels of child poverty we are tolerating. The homes of children in poverty I've seen are shockingly empty - bare cupboards and walls, few books, little bedding. /1

Everybody needs to listen to this. It’s the most blood-curdling, spine chilling, anger-inducing bullshit that fantastic people like Jemaima who do so much for our communities have to endure all too often. m.soundcloud.com/jstiatia/racis…

$55.6m increase to foreign aid in the NZ budget, most of it towards the Pacific. "We will stand with the Pacific during their time of need," Winston Peters says.
In Samoa more than 70 hotels and resorts have closed, leaving more than 1000 people jobless. Tourism makes up more than half the economy and the International Labour Organisation says thousands across the Pacific could be plunged into poverty. rnz.co.nz/international/…

It’s been an incredible privilege to be a part of this group of Wantoks, as this first PNGDF Lead Systems course comes to a close. Opening by the CDF really set the scene for some humbling self reflection around changing behaviour to become better leaders and better people. 🇵🇬🇳🇿
It gives me goosebumps and occasionally dust in my eye, every time i hear that - especially after the Passchendaele Centennial commemoration.

Great to see our deployed people sharing their #Christmas cheer with their whānau back here in NZ. We thank them for their service at this time of year and wish them a Meri Kirihimete! #Force4NZ #Force4Good youtube.com/watch?v=4wOUwY…
It's been a weird few weeks. I've been reflecting on how I ended up doing a dumb thing I swore I'd never do: Yelling on Twitter about politics. I've figured some stuff out &, if you're interested, here are my thoughts (it's too long for here): docs.google.com/document/d/1Am…
My favourite Olympic picture of Peter Snell. In the 1964 1500m final & 300 metres to go NZ's John Davies (467) was in the lead. Then Snell charged past. Davies said the cinders on the track came off Snell's surge and stung him in the chest, face and mouth. Such was Snell's power.
Legendary.
