I have concerns about the enthusiasms of NZ police from time to time, but I wouldn t trade the worst of them for Russians.

Great to read this, thank you to the the community and mana whenua, for some real action on our environment. I just hope that all abide by this and we don t see any going against this as it is viewed as optional . Better to see the local body/govt formalise this. Better still enlarge such protection into other areas Mana whenua on Waiheke island are placing a two-year rāhui on the island in a bid to stop four species of kaimoana from collapsing.
dimorphic continuum is mashed into a
binary categorisation. Some pretty shitty treatment of people who might not be close to one of the poles, when only transwomen are supposed to be treated shittily.
The earth has two geographic poles. But almost nobody is at the north pole or the south pole .
weka …
are you saying that you believe sex is a spectrum that sits between two poles?
By all means talk about the fairness with Semenya. I haven t looked at her situation closely so would be interested to hear ideas on how it can be resolved. But intersex and trans people aren t the same, so I m just not sure what that has to do with opening up women s sports to males. If you want to make a case for desegregating sport by sex, please do. Otherwise as far as I can see the argument is that some males should be allowed to compete against any and all females, irrespective of fairness to women. Understandably, a lot of women aren t too happy about that.

$700,000 seems a lot considering that the air force already owns the helicopters, so that s just fuel, maintenance, and maybe staffing (but that d be army pilots and police spotters? So already employed just reassigned). I do know from once living in rural parts near a usually tranquil growing area, those helicopters flying so low are really loud and annoying. Far worse than tourist flights which are at least on the way somewhere rather than circling for days over the same area.

Police realise that alcohol meth etc are the dangerous drugs and targeting gangs is where resources should be focused.
