It was a privilege to have been able to attend the formal meeting yesterday where this powerful report was handed over to the survivors who lived it.

Hey @stuffnz @FinlayDunseath I'm not a big fan of the URL for this article - no doubt a macron issue, but still problematic.

Māori most at risk of declining civil and political human rights https://t.co/7jGkCvye0i

@OneHatMadder Wait there's a third one now??? Where's it playing?

[Cooper Legal @CooperLegal]

Also @msdgovtnz false imprisonment payments are risible - compare the below to Fitzgerald v Attorney-General, applying a daily rate for adult prisoners of $267-$400 depending on their vulnerability. @AbuseRoyal @ikon_media @ChildrensCommNZ #HallofShame #MSD #AbuseinCare

[Cooper Legal @CooperLegal]

MSD also takes the view that $4k is sufficient to recognise multiple breaches of BORA (eg staff rape) if a child was abused after 1990 - or $8k if you were in one of their REALLY BAD placements. c.f. $35k awarded to prisoners (Taunoa) #HallofShame #MSD #AbuseinCare

"..Hughes now sits at the top of the bureaucratic pyramid, astride a public service that, through many agencies, obstructed legitimate legal claims, intentionally delayed proceedings, and treated abuse survivors with callous indifference ..."

From home and in the office, the team went all out for Pink Shirt Day 2022! Kōrero mai, kōrero atu, mauri tū, mauri ora. There's no place for bullying in our schools, our homes or our workplaces.

@OneHatMadder Happy to chat more if it would help. It can be REALLY hard to get sympathy for this when people haven’t been through it already. Xoxo

[Sam Benton @SamBentonNZ]

@OneHatMadder Be kind to yourself and pace yourself. Be aware of your new limits and accept them. Avoid even light exercise. The best advice is to pre-rest: lie down doing nothing for say 30 minutes before going out to do something, if you can. The supplement NAC might help.

@NZStuff The image used for this article on your main page needs to be removed urgently, as it demonstrates an incorrect method of RAT testing.
