I found this a very tough listen. A long way to go to understand the legal and political responsbilities we have to future generations in #nzpol -in the future we will look back at the stand Mike Smith is taking and celebrate his and the Iwi Council's vision but its a hard battle
case resumes at 2.15pm after a lunch break- I need a mental health/despair break but you can listen here n-tech.co.nz/Supremecourt1.… I suggest viewing between the fingers of both hands -or follow @GeoffMcLay1 (🙏) -HT @openpolicynz, but non lawyers might need a few interp notes
Very much wishing @DanHikuroa & @rg_jones were in court right now for the support their knowledge and Prof Sandy Morrison and others could lend to the tikanga argument - this is brave and tough this fight to consider our climate responsibilities and overdue
this is agony -I can hardly watch -and it matters a lot

The case of a far right extremist provocatively standing for school board election in a diverse multicultural school isn’t about winning an election it’s about mainstreaming hate, creating publicity & disruption-a huge challenge for liberal democracies & tolerant societies #nzpol
There was an incisive analysis of the challenge by NZ chair of the Federation of Islamic Associations Absur Rassaq on @NZMorningReport I got the feeling his sharp analysis was far beyond what RNZ editorial had anticipated-but we need media editors on board rnz.co.nz/national/progr…
As well as understanding why we are seeing extremist candidates standing for local elections & everyday politics - we need to think harder about how we protect the foundations of our democratic society & more mature discussion than ‘democracy is one person one vote & free speech’

In my view what is most significant about the #nzpol PM’s comments today on the NZ #GeorgeFloydProtests isn’t the comment that NZ may move to L1 soon after cabinet (yes this defuses opposition) it was the progressive political confidence with which she tackled the key issues 1/3
She made 3 important comments 1) she acknowledged the ‘horrifying’ nature of unfolding events in the USA, 2) she acknowledged the urgency that youth especially feel about that situation & the connection with experiences of racism/ extremismin NZ & concern about arming police 2/3
3) NZ PM made clear her position against routinely arming police. This differs from more equivocal approaches eg Ihumatāo & matters as it steers a path in a potentially tense situation: impt, progressive leadership which, whether or not her opponents like it, is needed just now

Well I truly did not expect that. Attending a Friday night lecture on the anthropocene (yes my life is that sad) and an elderly man stood up to ask a question. Forgive me but he looked like so many elderly men who have stood up to correct me about climate change & why it’s a hoax
He began, ‘as an elderly man I look at the rise of the #metoo generation of women finding their voice to speak against decades of abuse, & I look at the likes of Pell & those who defend him & I listen to the children striking against what it is my generation of men have done’
he continued ‘I wonder if they have children what will they tell say about the mess & corruption my generation created’ & at that other men in the audience just quietly nodded, or wiped tears-pretty stunned to see pakeha men just be quiet & reflective-no defence/anger/explaining
