@cannibality @monthly_review I have always liked It. Gives solid analysis that is hard to find elsewhere. Monthly Review Press has published some excellent books over their long existence too. They have some especially great titles on political economy in Asia.

Parliament's Justice Select Committee will be hearing oral submissions on the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Bill tomorrow morning from 9am to 12:20pm.

[Cameron Walker @cameronw87]

I cannot understand why the Counter-Terrorism Legislation Bill has received such little media scrutiny, even though it greatly expands New Zealand's anti-terrorist law and has many concerning human rights implications.

While foreign states designate communist organisations in the Philippines as terrorists, Duterte is emboldened to wage a war of questionable legal and ethical foundations, writes Cameron Walker.

@CTrevettNZH @simonjbridges Good backgrounder on the officials Bridges and National have met this week. https://t.co/FI72tGghaT

@SandyBeachesAkl @MariaSherwood2 I do not see what this has got to do with the discussion about Simon Bridges and human rights in the Philippines.

[Cameron Walker @cameronw87]

This is a great article summarising the records of some of the government officials the National Party delegation to Manila has met this week https://t.co/z0yOoH798s

@fmacskasy @simonjbridges @MannyPacquiao You might like this article by a Filipino-New Zealander looking at the records of the people Bridges met this week https://t.co/z0yOoH798s

[Cameron Walker @cameronw87]

@simonjbridges Simon did you raise human rights concerns with Lorenzana, Locsin or any of the other Filipino officials you have met this week? https://t.co/z0yOoH798s

[Cameron Walker @cameronw87]

@dimsie @micheinnz Yep it is pretty concerning. Bridges has met with several people deeply involved with human rights abuses by the Duterte Administration. Here is a great article by a Filipino-New Zealander about the records of some of the people Bridges has met this week https://t.co/z0yOoH798s

Today the Human Rights Parliamentary Network is receiving a briefing on the Rohingya refugee crisis - as many kids as city of Christchurch

@Jacky_Braid I wish I had learnt Te Reo at school. Would have been very helpful for learning Tagalog (Filipino Language) and Bahasa Indonesian when I was older. They are both Austronesian languages like Te Reo.

Horrific state abuses happening in the Philippines currently against the indigenous Lumad people of Mindanao. https://t.co/j9MTUIVL9B

[IBON International #FreePalestine @IbonInternatl]

In southern Philippines, the armed forces' militarisation of communities had displaced indigenous peoples (IPs). Now, IPs are being deprived of local food aid by state forces. #AssertandDefendPeoplesRights https://t.co/3JU5j01qEn

@11Kstew70 @Dean_Nimbly That was awesome. There was always so much detail in those paintings. I see something new each time I look at them.

@11Kstew70 @Dean_Nimbly I remember in High School Art History I loved learning about 18th century neoclassicism and also 20th Century/early 21st Century New Zealand art.
