Peninsula proudly proclaimed possumless place Possums have had their final termination on the Otago Peninsula. After more than 15 years of hard graft of crawling through bush and dirt and...

• Total of 9200ha covered

• More than 500 volunteers involved

• More than 26,000 possums captured

Bloody epic stuff, this.

Accurate... But rude

Aii that's no good. Kia piki te ora

Very mindful, very demure 🫶🏾

Kia ora. Not a social science researcher, but have assisted with design, been interviewed by, edited reports by, overseen and commissioned work by social science researchers.

Maybe I'm missing something?

*Not one* of the projects I've been involved with could have been done better by AI. 🤷🏾

the relationships with them were strong enough, and positive role models close enough, that in every case I can think of, there was a return to being good decent people.

If any of that belonging and being loved and being part of a community were missing though, I can see how badly it could go 🥺

Agreed. The kids my kids know and are related to, the kids who come to our kura reo, the kids at kapa haka are amazing - the common thread with these awesome humans is that they are part of multigenerational communities...

Very occasionally while teaching we came across this sort of ugly - but

The facts of the matter… #nzpol #TaxWealthMore #OneTermGovernment

What does "too library" mean? 🤷‍♀️
That's not a thing.

This is another point - digitising material isn't necessarily a one-and-done; as tech evolves, readers and scanners, material has to be saved again and again, then there's access storage issues, climate emergency-proofing, future proofing sources of funding...

... learning spaces and succession planning, in relationship with other people who are the appropriate knowledge-holders. It's about so much more than correlating 'historical facts'.

Maybe I'm off base but this is the unfiltered genuine first response. Other kaupapa may benefit but not herstory 😉

... take into consideration the degree of discernment necessary to look at primary sources with a historiographical lens (accounting for influences on the writer), it simply isn't possible without many many hours of input from that knowledgeable human, that I would argue are better used in

... read and categorise that content. A less educated human can't do it well, and there are massive data sovereignty issues if one even wanted to code something that would still need to physically scan and turn pages... Coding can only use what's already digitised and consented, and when you

With respect, one of the issues our people have is that access to primary sources is limited by time and geography, and that some primary sources were labeled decades ago as 'notebook, (author)' and the only current way to do better is to send someone with the relevant background knowledge to

Aiauē.

Survivor 'angry and saddened' as number of young people abused in care increases A man who was abused in state care himself says he's "angry and saddened" that the number of victims continues to increase, despite a royal comission inquiry.

This is New Zealand.

“Survivor 'angry and saddened' as number of young people abused in care increases. The Independent Children's Monitor's latest report said 530 tamaraki and rangatahi were abused in state care during the 2024/25 year, up from 507 during the 2023/24 year.” #nzpol

Would they prefer indigenous epistemologies, paradigms, whatever word you'd use instead of 'doing'? 🙄 Not a fan of academic language for the sake of it, ka aroha ki a koe

Scoop Media - New Zealand news Scoop provides up to the minute New Zealand news, press releases, analysis and opinion

Newsroom seems to do better. *Sometimes* scoop.co.nz. I second Al Jazeera, not in isolation. The Independent used to be better-than... Guardian sometimes...

All of this 🫶🏾

I'm glad that some are listening to him, wish more would.

@garyseconomics.bsky.social hope you're enjoying your time in Aotearoa 🫶🏾

Whakamīharo ana 😍

Kia ora anō. I am not directly part of their kaupapa, so have a limited understanding.

'Relational' meaning Earth and individual or collective agents like A-C-Gee and humans.

Their whole paradigm is distinct

Ministers continue to make decisions on fast-track projects after parties take donations linked to applicants One political scientist believes such donations to political parties could be perceived as creating a conflict of interest but official advice disagrees.

The Kaitiakitanga license is gold.

Sometimes mainstream institutions can wonder where the accountability is for kaupapa Māori organisations, and the answer is, accountable to their own. All of their own!

If I have to explain my business decisions to my nannies, I will stay tika (straight, true)!

Could not agree more.

Pay equity ‘select committee’ finds ‘flagrant and significant abuse of power’ A group of female former MPs subjected the pay equity overhaul to the scrutiny it should have received before passing into law. Their newly released report is damning.

When National, ACT, and NZ First gutted pay equity last year, they didn’t listen to the voices of women, workers, or experts. The People’s Select Committee was formed so that the voices of Aotearoa could be heard on pay equity - and their findings are damning for the National-led Govt. #nzpol
