Clearly this case should never have been brought against a judge of impeccable integrity. The discrepancy between two ministers’ recollections needed to be interrogated. In the end, justice was done, but only after damaging publicity to the individual. nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/j…

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: stuff.co.nz/nz-news/36079988…

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 p.dw.com/p/4qw1b

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.” amnesty.org.uk/files/2019-01…

Is this Trump’s real agenda? To force #Zelenskyy to elections so that Russian propaganda can be turned on at full volume to support the election of a Russia-leaning President? Have countless numbers of Ukrainians died & suffered huge trauma for such a betrayal? But why?

79 UN Member States have signed public statement of support for @IntlCrimCourt in reaction to Trump Administration’s sanctions against its staff. #NZ Govt hasn’t signed despite being on record in past as strong supporter of #ICC. What explains this opting out? Or do we know….
#Switzerland 🇨🇭, together with 78 other States Parties, has signed the following statement in support of the #ICC’s role as an impartial judicial institution ⬇️

There’s a pattern here: first the Nazi salute & now addressing an election rally of Germany’s far right party. When does this become too much even for Trump, or are there no limits now? Let’s remember that Nazi Germany was responsible for #genocide: euractiv.com/section/politic…

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: rnz.co.nz/news/national/5267…

Very disturbing news from #Niger 🇳🇪 where military have detained democratically elected President Bazoum and declared a coup d’état. Niger has known military coups in the past: all have set the country back. Peace ☮️ is needed for #sustainabledevelopment: bbc.com/news/world-africa-66…

2023 @GlobalHlth5050 report looks at how #SRHR is addressed in workplace policies/ short answer is that many aspects of it aren’t being addressed. This builds in #inequality in the workplace & impacts on #women’s chances of reaching leadership positions. theguardian.com/global-devel…

There’s much to be said about ‘many hands make light work’. Thanks to all those who responded/supported whānau through the night. While the mahi continues this morn, I know that many across our beautiful city will be experiencing uncertainty right now — we will get through this.

The outpouring of love, support & donations has been truly heartening. For now tho — because we’ve been inundated & have too much food & clothing, please hold off from dropping off donations. If there’s anything we need, I’ll be sure to post up & you’ll be the first to know!🙏🏽

I’m pleased an emergency declaration has been made due to flooding in Auckland tonight. All relevant govt agencies are working flat out to help in an extraordinary set of circumstances. The emergency response is underway and the Government is ready to assist as needed.
