For the young 'uns, Simeon Brown was the inaugural president of the Auckland University Pro Life (anti abortion, anti women, anti healthcare) Club in the 2010s. His selection by National was a clear red flag of where they'd be going politically.

After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

Also, Nicola Willis is wrong. Then again, I suspect I've talked - and genuinely listened to - a lot more Maori who think exactly that, because they've lived potentially dangerous misdiagnosis, disparities in care and offensive treatment based on ethnic stereotypes/assumptions.

Any service I turn up to I think about my ethnicity: I worry my name will be mispronounced, or they won't be able to find me on the system because they entered my name wrong, or that they secretly, overtly or subconsciously hate Asians, or will assume I work there, or that I can't speak English.

If you want to get tough on crime, give people a steady job so they can make the rent and put kai on the table. Give them access to rehab so they can get on with their lives and be a good parent. For women, it's access to safe stable housing for them and their children. Not prison. #nzpol
