The Wiles v University of Auckland judgement is out. Wiles was successful on the key issues. In particular, the Court finds that her commentary *was* part of her job and that the University's H&S response was "problematic" www.employmentcourt.govt.nz/assets/Docum...

That's an interesting question. I've always considered that it is in the National Park area (in which case, no dogs) but I just went to double check on DOC and it's unclear whether it is or not. It's an absolutely stunning redoubt though so I hope you get to visit, either with or without your kuri!

Yes, time to consider a good name for a tunnel in an earthquake-prone region. How about: Rūaumoko's Revenge

They might be painting over rainbows on city streets, but Uenuku is casting a big-ass rainbow over the Waikato River tonight.

The Waipā and Puniū are my heartbeat awa but goddamn it- flying into Kirikiriroa and seeing the mighty Waikato snaking across the whenua below- it gets me every single time. For the next few days I get to listen to the awa as I go to sleep and wake up beside it. Absolute joy!

Whakapapa doesn't get left at the office door like a wet umbrella on a rainy day. Just be Māori all day. Every day. We are here. And we are strong. Enjoy your Sunday.

Can we decolonise terrorism & counter-terrorism studies, both of which are so closely linked to incarceration, the police and the military, or should we simpy abolish?
This open access paper, out today, argues for abolition.

A rod Emmerson cartoon, ID: in black & white with letters 51, each letter filled with the names of those murdered in ChCh at the mosque. Good reasons a tone-deaf government should leave the gun laws alone Bottom left hand corner a small red heart made out of smaller hearts. it says, they are us

The Christchurch mosque terrorism attacks has cost NZ more than than $2 billion, took 51 productive live,s and damaged countless more. There is no need or good reason to put these on the table.

Private unregulated military and security contractors profiteering in an illegal war aren't heroes, no matter how it is spun. It is the commercialisation of war.

Yes! Will be interested to see what methodology was used. I'm willing to be convinced but I'm a long way from there yet.

I'm comfortable with the findings of the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation and the testimonies of Indigenous families.

Some days it seems like this coalition government has disintegrated into a series of sound-bites from mediocre men in lobby groups posing as think tanks. Other days it just looks like a shambles. But an artful shambles. Or a deadly shambles. Or somefink.

It's fascinating to see who donates to NZ political parties (and how much). As a sociologist, it's eye-opening to trace the networks of crony capitalism that shape the political landscape of Aotearoa. It really is a fine bro'mance!

And whether it would be better to simply extend funding to existing medical schools. At a time when many universities are cutting staff in a wide range of discipines, a shiny new med school looks lie a Quigley-driven vanity project.

Ideology trumps evidence! When faced with the evidence base (including research from a previous Nat govt), the Minister dismisses it (and also hadn't read it) or says it's just part of a "range of views", and then reverts to ideology. Wtf?

Sunday Star Times' reports on University of Waikato's upcoming Economic Forum, showcasing speakers from NZTU and NZ Initiative. That's one deadly atlas of 'independent' discussion right there. 😐 But I s'pose they're upfront about it, right?
