“As Ngāi Tahu we migrated south to Te Waipounamu… We have been adapting all our lives.
I think it’s really inspiring as a young person to think back to our ancestors and how they have succeeded because we are all here today.”

But this will require action: in how we vote, how we connect, how we listen and talk to friends and colleagues, and those with whom we disagree, building stronger relationships based on respect for human rights, dignity & rule of law. We reject violence & terrorism and work for justice.

Taken down my video-because I agree with dear friends who have suffered unimaginable loss, that is decision made by our government today & the lack of moral compass, is who we are. This government does not however determine who we might yet become, we can be a more just & compassionate nation. 🇵🇸

As dear friends remind me however, we have done this. We can’t deflect - this is who we are. However this does not determine the nation we can yet become, compassionate & just.

I agree. The statistics show we are not supportive of this action but it comes from us. A government votes by us. As you know I do I have I will - it is not enough , I am so grateful Aliya for your grace, friendship and courage I despair with a deep burning rage at the loss and genocide

Even by the NZ government’s own ‘real-politik or supposed ‘pragmatic’ reasoning this is a shocking and shaming announcement because all small states depend on multilateralism.
