I'm not ragging on the Guardian exactly but it's genuinely obscene that we aren't referring to pronatalism as what it actually is: a eugenics-based attempt to outbreed "degenerate" races Countries with demographic emergencies do not mass deport young, able-bodied people who are willing to work

Mata is so good. Mihingarangi Forbes is always so deeply informed and impeccable no matter who she interviews. I hope her bosses are amazing to her and have her back and the universe smiles at her and her whānau and the Mata team in any possible way.
