I made the mistake of listening to #RNZ Midday Report today.
The first story was David Seymour saying he was determined to end the allocation of spaces at #NZ Medical Schools for Māori and Polynesian medical students as these, according to Seymour, were giving an advantage to students due to their race. He managed to get a study done into the practice of increasing the number of Māori and Polynesian doctors to serve their communities under the coalition agreement but didn’t agree with its findings which support the practice.
He disagreed that a similar approach to offering places at medical school for rural students was the same thing as apparently it is not based on ethnicity.
The next story was David Seymour supporting MDMA treatment for victims of PTSD. I have no idea what the story after that was as I had switched off my radio by then. #NZPol

Another grilling for Quilae Wong and the Opportunity, this time from Mihingarangi Forbes;
A good interview for those who question whether Opportunity can really be described as "progressive".

"We've had 4 or 5 decades... of an economic system that says 'don't worry about concentration of wealth, eventually that will flow down, everyone will be better off', and a lot of people are going, '... that's not what we're experiencing, the cost of living is getting more, we're feeling more marginalised economically, our jobs are less secure', and they want something different"

*But* ... the one thing Hipkins ought *not* to lose his leadership role over is stories about his personal life. His private business.
None of us are saints, especially in the eyes of puritan ultra-conservatives and crypto-conservative identi-Moonies. Every one of us has skeletons in the closet that scurrilous muckrakers could dig up as a basis to exclude us from political office.

Hintergrund | RNZ: Die Burschenschaft Normannia ist zurück
Nach dem antisemitischen Übergriff vor sechs Jahren war sie in "Cimbria" umbenannt worden. Drei Monate nachdem das Urteil rechtskräftig wurde, tauchte sie wieder unter altem Namen auf.Die Burschenschaft Normannia ist zurück – jedenfalls tritt sie auf ihrer Internetseite wieder unter ihrem alten Namen auf. Am Dienstag berichtete die Heidelberger Studierendenzeitung "ruprecht" über die neue Entwicklung der alten Burschenschaft, etwa von einem Instagram-Account, der zwar wenig Inhalt hat, aber bereits seit Juni 2025 unter dem Namen "normannia1890" existiert. Unter den knapp 200 Followern befinden sich überwiegend andere Burschenschaften, aber auch mehrere AfD-Politiker und ein Account mit dem Namen "rechteschueler"... (weiter)

"There are recurring themes, the most dominant of these is probably reining in the overuse of Parliamentary Urgency, including skipping or curtailing the Select Committees process.
Ideas to curb urgency include automatic expiry dates for laws passed without full process, governments needing to convince the Speaker that urgency is necessary, and select committees undertaking post-hoc reviews of laws that bypass them."

"Sports influencers and celebrity influencers or whatever it is that's driving this craze, they should be thinking and reflecting very strongly about [Run it Straight] now. But it's not something you can practically ban at a government level. But it's just calling for people to exercise individual responsibility."

It's so frustrating listening to RNZ's tech commentator Peter Griffin talking about decentralized social media. At least the fediverse got a mention in this one. But he didn't get the key point across to the host, that you only need one account to talk to people on sites using the same protocol. When he described Mastodon it sounded like he was saying you need an account on each server. Also "the" NZ server...

I searched the RNZ 'all programs' podcast feed today for coverage of the fediverse. I found this interview with Peter Griffin and Mastodon from 10 days ago (which already feels like a year ago ;)
