Turns out that prior to the Homosexual Law Reform Act 1986, gay men were primarily detained in New Plymouth prison. Who knew? The local brewery, apparently. #ShiningPeakBrewing #DetainedandFabulous

"The true measure of any society can be found in how it treats its most vulnerable members.” This government has slick PR, but is failing to deliver on poverty and wellbeing despite the rhetoric. https://t.co/kVEMTDXT38

TJ Boutorwick & Kirsten Reid's ICALLD symposium-over-time presentation "Evaluating the impact of Tertiary Learning Advice Consultations on student learning and development" is up on ICALLD website. Great to see the framework being applied. https://t.co/7p4kgRsP3m #ICALLD @ATLAANZ

How is it remotely acceptable to respond to allegations of inhumane treatment by withholding food and water? https://t.co/YA1qVsAKQS

According to the NZ Herald "Waikato's 2019 annual report flags employment grievances that might cost it $435,000, and a Human Rights Tribunal case that may raise liabilities of $350,000." If being a decent employer would save $785K, maybe the wrong people are losing their jobs.

Are we to conclude that when everyone is equally poorly remunerated, badly treated and afraid to speak out because they fear for their jobs, the problem is poor leadership and a systemic culture of bullying, not institutional racism? How is that better? https://t.co/8UucmdMHI8

TOPs UBI calculator is interesting. Frankly, I support anything that means anyone can afford to participate in education, have some income security while they establish a new venture, and never have to deal with the demoralizing sadists who work for WINZ. https://t.co/klUz6u7rMi

Does this mean Waikato is for no one? All I know is that if you stand up, you’re out.

How to destroy an organisation's reputation and create a PR disaster. 1) when genuine concerns are raised, deny everything. 2) threaten the complainant to try to silence them. 3) bully the complainant out of the organisation, so they have nothing to lose. https://t.co/4DwDT6FW5T

Children are walking to school in jandals in the winter. Their toes are swollen pink by the cold. They will shiver through their morning lessons unable to learn. Many of them in cold classrooms. Where is the action on child poverty that we were promised? @jacindaardern @nzlabour
