The official assessment of the Treaty Principles Bill.
“The fact is that under the Treaty there are rights — pre-existing rights — which were reaffirmed. The need which Māori now have often arose out of the breach of those rights. So to address Māori need, you’re actually recognising that certain rights have been breached. And it seems to me to be quite wrong to therefore call the addressing of need based on a breach of rights as a special privilege. It’s also wrong because it misinterprets our history, where the taking of power, the taking of land from Māori, actually resulted in the privileging of Pākehā. The establishment of Pākehā institutions of power and Pākehā wealth was a privileging done at the expense of Māori.” -Moana Jackson

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)
Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
Sometimes people use "respect" to mean "treating someone like a person" and sometimes they use "respect" to mean "treating someone like an authority" and sometimes people who are used to being treated like an authority say "if you won't respect me I won't respect you" and they mean "if you won't treat me like an authority I won't treat you like a person" -Autistic Abby https://web.archive.org/web/20150404010354/http://stimmyabby.tumblr.com/post/115216522824/sometimes-people-use-respect-to-mean-treating

Hey new NZ book community Blueskyers - if you use the #pukapuka hashtag on your book-related posts they will show up on the Aotearoa Books feed.
Also, fun thing is we CAN explain this to David Seymour.
Most obviously, first nations in the US and Canada. Catholic and francophone minorities in Canada. The German language minority in Belgium. Faeroese & Greenlanders in Denmark. & more broadly; in *every federal system* rights vary among states
Cartoon of a group of people walking off to the left, part of the Toitū Te Tiriti hikoi. They are carrying Tino Rangatiratanga flags. On the right is David Seymour saying “I said, you just don’t have my vision” as the last flag slaps him.
What a great day it was in Te Whanganui a Tara Wellington yesterday. A unequivocal message was sent to David Seymour and the coalition government.

This is amazing!
Video just posted by NZ Labour account in collaboration with the Green Party and Māori Party! 👊
Somebody shared a nice library poster, so I'll re-share this:
“Indigeneity here in Aotearoa is when the community you claim as your own also claims you back.” 🔥🔥🔥
PLEASE, if you are submitting on any legislation, do it personally through the parliament website.
Submitting via a third party (eg Greenpeace) is fantastic if you’d do nothing at all otherwise but if you can, take that extra step.
Or do both.
Maximise the effect of your voice.

Not a scrap of rubbish on the ground. No violence. No arrests. No swastikas. No nooses. Fifty thousand people all uniting to voice their objection to the absurd, peacefully observing the kaupapa. That's a power you can't dismiss or switch off.
I used a video editor to analyse the video + estimated the size of the space using google maps
Based on that, the lower bound of the number of people in the video is about 83,000 people. Plus the 4,000 already at Parliament house (according to @tzemingdynasty.bsky.social) that makes 87,000 people.
Reposting this to remind you....
“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist”
- James Baldwin
Seemed like an appropriate message to take to Parliament.
