For their song "Shadrach", which appeared on the Paul's Boutique album in 1989, the Beastie Boys also sampled lyrics from another track on Sly and the Family Stone’s Small Talk, this time being "Loose Booty". Here’s the Sly version:

Something big we haven’t fully processed or reflected on is the massive amount of time and effort people around NZ have contributed towards long term curriculum changes, science system changes and local govt reforms, amongst others. All rejected by current govt. The deep engagement meant nothing.

Callous disregard for people, communities, facts and evidence seems to be a feature not a bug of the crew in Government:
“RNZ has learned Doocey, one of the ministers with responsibility for assessing the Royal Commission's recommendations, was then sent the report personally in November.”

However, the CDC continues to go out of its way to stigmatize masks, not listing it in its core prevention strategies for respiratory viruses, and calling it an “additional” prevention strategy instead.

I should be clear that, as well as this kind of messaging, lack of sufficient sick leave and flexibility from govt/workplaces makes the situation much worse for many people who may struggle to have the capability to look after sick kids at home.

believes university vice-chancellors have been “far too accommodating” with pro-Palestinian protests for “far too long”, and opposed the Aus govt reinstating funding to UNRWA. He is alao a member of US-funded IPAC. So, IMO he has zero credibility & is not someone I would give the time of day to.
