Cleared my desk at Bauer today. 11 years of journalism consigned to 2 black rubbish bags. Rescued this tile mosaic made for me in prison by a guy serving life for murdering his sexual abuser. I’d told him my cat Zac had died. He phoned to ask what colour he was then sent this.

Stuff Circuit - gone. @NewshubNZ - gone. @SundayTVNZ - gone?! No way! It’s not ‘just about jobs.’ It’s about accountability, transparency, giving a voice to the diverse & voiceless. All who shout the loudest about ‘democracy’ - do something. This cannot happen.
