ICYMI: from NZ far-right expert Byron Clarke
"I was asked by the Campaign Against Foreign Control of Aotearoa to speak on the topic of the far-right & the right at their recent 50th anniversary event. CAFCA has, for half a century now, been drawing attention to issues related to privatisation & the buying up of Aotearoa’s resources by multinational corporations. Below is the text of the talk in full."

“We were not in favour of foreign intervention, because we did not want our loved ones to be killed, but the regime has massacred our families anyway. When weapons come from the US, do they strike us more gently than when they come from the regime’s killing machines?"

a seasoned high school teacher on the conservative coalition government's new social sciences curriculum
"Teachers can teach these things. They already do. They do it well, responsibly, and with nuance. They want their students to ask questions, to be curious, to engage with the material rather than just receive it.
What they cannot do is teach them properly in a timeframe that is wedging content into lesson plans like a circus squeezing clowns into a car.
The stakes are high, the curriculum matters. We must make sure we get it right for teachers and for students. And this just ain’t it."

"They have absolutely done everything in their power to move us away from the public areas, they've taken all the chairs, the tables, shut down the toilets so that we're concentrated in certain areas. ...
They can try and move us on but... we still have nowhere else to go."
