You fully believe in vaccination and are vaxxed yourself. You touch base with a friend who says they’re not vaxxed and have no plans to be. You love this person with your whole heart but also now realize how differently you see the world. They’re smart & educated. What do you do?

And before my kiwi followers jump to the ol' 'America is broken thank God we're alright here in Godzone', the only reason more brown people aren't killed in NZ is because most officers don't carry guns. Māori are still 7x more likely than Pākehā to be victims of police violence.

I really hate news stories where you have to read between the lines to figure out what the hell is going on. This Kiri Allan story is a prime example.

Everyone is following this missing submersible. It's trending everywhere. People are listening to our podcast just to hear about it.
But what about this. HUNDREDS of people are still missing off the coast of Greece. More than 80 are dead.

🔉Why was no expense or resource spared in searching for the submersible - but hundreds of people are still missing at sea off after their boat sank near Greece?
We explore why this apparent double standard is allowed to exist.

Remember: it doesn't matter how successful, famous, rich or driven you are. In the end, all the matters is: were you kind? Did you strive to lift others up or bring them down? Questions we should all bear in mind, every day. We'll always fall short, but we should always try.

New Zealand is on the same path as the US.
Say you’ll be ‘tough on crime’ regardless of the actual crime statistics to win votes.
Forget putting funding into preventative measures like housing or education. That’s too complicated for people to get their heads around apparently
New Zealanders are fed up with brazen offending.
Today I announced National will implement stronger sentences for convicted criminals, to restore law and order and make our communities safer.
We will limit the ability of judges to reduce sentences, we’ll make gang membership…
