I don’t think I’ll get too concerned - there’s plenty more bike rides and walks to be had this year 🚲🚶🏽🙂01 Jan 2024 02:58 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3khvab4vd5m2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kgrmkfhrqj2qActive transport (travelling via wheelchair, walking, cycling and similar) is very good for people’s health. Decisions being made by this National Government will create a load on our health system that will be expensive and unmanageable. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/transport-minister-simeon-brown-puts-brakes-on-cycling-and-walking-initiatives-in-new-zealand-transport-authority-waka-kotahi-shake-up/IPRGSNQWJNCWDN2IVQ4J7O62XQ/17 Dec 2023 23:02 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kgrmkfhrqj2qhttps://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kfms4lcd7h22National have talked a lot about getting tough on crime. Misleading the public on this scale is a crime, misrepresenting data that affects people’s health is a serious matter. Media needs to ask Luxon how he’s going to get tough on disinformation. https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/te-whatu-ora-granted-urgent-injunction-police-complaint-filed-over-mass-privacy-breach-of-covid-19-vaccination-data-by-former-staff-member/EUKC3NHC6FAOVL2YJSE4GUR6BU/03 Dec 2023 07:33 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kfms4lcd7h22https://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kffj6wpito2uThe National led Government is fuelling the fire of racism. We must call it out in every form, including when that racism appears in Local Government. Here a couple of racist individuals take exception to the name Ōtautahi. Well done those Elected Members that remove racist comments like this.30 Nov 2023 10:05 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kffj6wpito2uhttps://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kfffscrco422These youth need stability to help them to a good path. It is a serious fail from Erica Stanford and National not to continue funding The Kauri Centre. Also, more centres like this are needed. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2023/11/fears-mainstream-teachers-will-not-cope-as-acclaimed-kauri-centre-for-troubled-youth-closes.html30 Nov 2023 09:04 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kfffscrco422https://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kfcyjbmp3f2nHaving to defend the use of te reo Māori tells us Aotearoa New Zealand has much to do to improve inclusion and value diversity. Language from a country’s indigenous peoples must be well supported and unconditionally accepted. Anything short of that is racism.

In addition every teacher, caregiver, nurse, cleaner, support worker, community worker, and those in similar occupations have got to be disgusted by this. This National led Government will make it tough for those that give their all for society.29 Nov 2023 08:36 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kfctr4om6b2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/allantaunt.bsky.social/post/3kewsrhymfi2iA challenge with walking or cycling is people blocking intersections. This behaviour takes away the option for people to use active transport. People using wheelchairs, mobility scooters, trikes and cargo bikes would all have difficulty navigating the narrow gap between the motor vehicles.24 Nov 2023 13:46 +0000at://did:plc:j4k5lecnsgdan2vlu3tesfru/app.bsky.feed.post/3kewsrhymfi2i
