Here's Lisa Owen asked Housing Minister Chris Bishop why he didn't ask someone how much inflation was on construction costs before National made their campaign promise to complete construction on Dunedin's new hospital:

Holy shit, go Ōtepoti!

For those of you in the Dunedin area of New Zealand, you can find the lyrics to all of the songs from Everyday Life (out Friday) in Tuesday’s edition of the Otago Daily Times. There’s an excellent article on Buenos Aires’ nightlife next to the Èkó lyrics on p17. PH

A stunning portrayal of solidarity where many have gathered outside the Islamic Center of NYU wishing worshipers words of support and love. Many Muslims are walking in with tears, overwhelmed by the kindness.

Thoughts & prayers are not enough to respond to the #NewZealandShooting. It is time for concrete action. The President must disavow white nationalism & this attack. The FBI must prioritize hate violence. Tech companies must prevent the streaming/spreading of these videos.

What has happened in Christchurch is an extraordinary act of unprecedented violence. It has no place in New Zealand. Many of those affected will be members of our migrant communities – New Zealand is their home – they are us.

@BrookingRachel Make that 3 lawyers x 💗

So far this medical event has prompted 2 lawyers & 1 historian to undertake some first aid (St John’s in my case) training. 👍🏻 ❤️
