Wonderful to host Minister for Pacific Peoples Hon @AupitoWSio_MP last night for a roundtable discussion! Joined by academic colleagues and Leadership Network members, we had an insightful exchange about the Pacific and Asia - a great chance to connect during a busy time.

@annafifield@gerryshih A very Taiwanese gift! That is the strong stuff! Yes, kaoliang (sorghum liquor) is a type of biajiu, and kaoliang from Kinmen is highly regarded.
Pacific workers are, on the whole, New Zealand's lowest-paid workers and the gap in pay shows little sign of closing.

The marginalisation of Pacific workers has been persistent & chronic for many years. The inequities continue to widen against a backdrop & history of racial discrimination against Pacific peoples. We cannot continue to tolerate inequity. It ends with us.

@annafifield@charles_finny@DomPost So humbled Anna! It’s new for me but so grateful that you’re bringing light to an experience that’s familiar to many Pasifika professionals. I hope it sparked conversations in workplaces today about how we can all be more inclusive. Fa’afetai tele lava and Vinaka vaka levu!
@charles_finny@annafifield@DomPost Thanks so much Charles for your support over the years! I learned a lot from you and appreciated your willingness to connect me to opportunities. We must catch up soon!
