Vital that #NZ health authorities act on scientific evidence on surgical mesh. Around the world, many #women in particular have been severely harmed by its use. Other jurisdictions also imposed bans pending review. Precautionary principle should apply: https://t.co/3JnCRJrIxX
Deeply saddened by news of the death of Pope Francis; respected globally for his dedication to peace & justice. He also made history as the 1st Pope from Latin America. May Pope Francis rest in peace now. @Pontifex

Pastor Niemoller: “First they came for socialists & I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a socialist. Then they came for trade unionists & I didn’t speak out because I wasn’t a trade unionist.
Then they came for Jews, and I didn’t speak out because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me & there was no one left to speak for me.” https://t.co/1v4Yh0EJdr

The hour is late for saving the NZ fairy tern, tara iti, with only an estimated 35 adults birds remaining. Encouraging to see the research now being done on how to successfully breed from this small population. #NZ has the skills to prevent its extinction:
