Te Tiriti actually has quite a lot to do with water rights. It's kinda one of the most important bits. This isn't just Wellington Water being woke. It's a core part of the treaty settlements with Ngāti Toa and Taranaki Whanui.

I've thought quite hard about what I, as a pakeha public law theorist, can add to the submissions of my Treaty expert & Māori (& Māori Treaty expert!) colleagues on the TPB. & I think it's this: under very orthodox western constitutional theory, the Bill is illegitimate & v likely unconstitutional.

A decent portion of my identity politics is I'd quite like to not be called a faggot in the street. Straight leftists have repeatedly struggled to explain to me how me tolerating being called a faggot in the street helps achieve broad acceptance of socialist goals in the electorate.

NB on the Marsden vandalism: I understand the TPU are going full culture-war over it, specifically targeting Māori and Pasifika researchers and declaring it a victory for 'science'. To which I would say, actual scientists understand this is a huge blow to the whole research sector.

This is pretty mainstream orthodoxy in the English-speaking world. Punching people on benefits when the entire economic management of the country is predicated on large numbers of people being out of work is incredibly vile. #nzpol
