Selina starts by saying that she now feels that she also can say "I am LIANZA!" #LIANZA19
Selina reads a poem by Sam Hunt that inspired her to write ‘Orange Crayon Stick Figure Man’ thespinoff.co.nz/books/04-07-20…
Selina tells the story of her tokotoko, a carved Māori walking stick presented to her as poet laureate (hers is fittingly crowned with a fue, a Sāmoan orator's fly whisk).
Rachel starts with a dedication to her recently departed father who was an entomologist.
Rachel tells the story of the komite working to fill in the white spaces and put the amazing conference together ♥️

@TraceyMartinMP Minister Martin is the first minister to open the LIANZA conference in 9 years.
Librarians hold the knowledge so it's a brave government that ignores librarians! say the minister.
