“Who gets to have an opinion on the hīkoi and who must remain ‘impartial’?”
I enjoyed reading Madelaine Chapman’s column on who gets to play the impartial card. The Treaty Principles Bill, which inspired that column, does not start from a neutral place, but ignores a lot of history since the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi.
I liked this photo of New Zealand Historian Vincent O’Malley with a sign saying “Read some bloody history”; bloody it is.
I write mostly technical posts, but my work does not exist in a vacuum, so it is time for some #nzpol .
