This isn't fine. There are a lot of people in Canterbury, including parents of young children, like me. What's happened to us Kiwis with such a staunch history of standing up for ourselves (see Save Manapouri; Nuclear Free NZ etc) that we just "accept" this? Time to wake up again

I’m not allowed post videos of this length any more but here’s my wee Christmas monologue from a couple years ago
Catherine's Christmas Cracker (2020): It's Christmas Day. The turkey's in the oven, gifts have been exchanged, David's mother is coming over but a troubling discovery threatens to ruin the day forever.
Our judges have been reading & marking the books entered into our inaugural award & all scores are now in! In early 2024 the longlist will be announced, along with more very exciting news, so watch this space. For now, thank you for supporting us and happy holidays! #DANZCBA
Thank you so much to all you brilliant readers, librarians, booksellers, bloggers, teachers, parents and carers for all the book love this year. I’ve had so many dreams come true this year and that wouldn’t have happened without you ❤️
The public lending right payment, which in NZ arrives just before Christmas. If only it included school libraries and ebook lending. Now THAT news would be a nice pressie!
And I’m also reflective about why I’m irritated by their behaviour. Yes the disturbance caused can be enough of an issue, but I sometimes think it’s because the freedom their behaviour displays makes us envious as adults. 🤷🏿♂️
Whenever I see a te reo Māori word I don't know I think "I wonder what that means" and I look it up. But then I'm normal.
Calling on my Pākeha countrymen and women to speak up and stand up for te reo. It's so much better when we do this together. Kia kaha te reo Māori. 🫶 #HeTaongaTeReo
The Green Party has done what no support party in NZ's MMP history has ever done - come out of Govt stronger than when we came in. I can't wait to get stuck in with our largest ever caucus. 15 Green MPs who will hold the incoming Govt to account every single day.
"With every brush stroke, drawn line, delightful character and enchanting world, my world grows." Read illustrator Hilary Jean Tapper's interview with The Press this week, for the release of picture book At the Bach / Good Night, Good Beach by Joy Cowley. thepress.co.nz/a/culture/3501…
@NewshubPolitics The title should read "interim arrangements continue as per ...." rather than the gossip-fuelling one used
Hand-in party. What an incredible year doing the masters in creative writing at the IIML. I wrote a book and I could not be more tired about it.

Thank you for reading and sharing Torn Apart, @mrTteaching - this means so much to me 💚
Seriously powerful and hard hitting insight to a terrifying and under-covered period of history. Ashamed to say my knowledge o Partition was thin at best, but this fills in many gaps from two child eyewitness perspectives. Short and punchy, it leaves a mark. Thanks @SwapnaHaddow
It’s our new family read! @ldlapinski 🎉🎉🎉
