Associate Prof., Sarah Ross Victoria University compiles online poems Avia Tusiata’s poems are included. I am making reference to the controversy of her poem that was produced for the Auckland Arts Festival the 250th  anniversary of Captain Cooks arrival in NZ. No this is not clearly a historical remnant of his arrival in New Zealand but is clearly very graphic rudimental wording white hatred.  Stuff NZ published the poem and should have been taken over the coals by the Race Relations Minister and other MPs representing different Govt Agencies. Tusiata’s poem has caused much anger throughout New Zealand. I note quite a number of her poems are in the Governments National Archives.

Tusaita Avia’s poems content for the Auckland Arts festival includes a group of brown girls planning violent revenge on Capt Cook and white men. The poem is highly provocative and hateful the seeking of revenge referring to Capt Cook or white men like him that might be thieves, kidnappers and rapists or murderers. These are Tusiata’s murderous hateful words to be spoken and published by the Auckland Arts Festival. Her Savage Coloniser Book was published in 2020 it won the Ockman Book Awards in 2021 despite the hateful white men content within the book. This is what the judges said about Tusiata’s book “In a year of outstanding poetry publications that respond to Covid, Black Lives Matter, the Christchurch Massacre, and ongoing violence against women, Avia expresses the outrage shared by many, while maintaining faith that love helps the healing process,”

Stuff NZ then states in its media publication, in the same article about Tusiata white hatred of men poem that seeks revenge on white men and Capt Cook that the poem was condemned and circulated by racist hate speech right wing You Tuber Lee Williams and Sean Plunket (The Platform). Stuff NZ using the opportunity to attack anyone publicly speaking out publicly about the governments agenda or the wokeness it deliberately pushes. Of course Stuff NZ is like other mainstream news media are getting their share of the government journalist fund, they work for the Woke Governments Agenda (Gender Diversity-Sexualizing Politicizing NZ Children in Schools ).  People get sucked in all these Woke messages that are lies, told enough to the public through the propaganda machine ‘lies told continuously and often enough become the truth in peoples minds, and tghey act on those lies because they believe its the truth)

As Sean Plunket said “publicly-funded art must serve the national interest, and should be positive rather than critical”. Studd Ne that Stuff NZ does not support or promote free speech which the reporter calls Sean Plunket a ‘free speech advocate’, its  clearly obvious that Stuff NZ opposes the NZ Bill Of Rights 1991 and other International laws that include freedom of expression, freedom of speech, freedom to choose your own political ideology.  Democracy does not exist in NZ, however institutional racial apartheid does and is promoted by the woke far left cultural Marxist Socialist community. I question are we living in a totalitarian state in New Zealand, I personally believe “We sure are and I have no doubt about it”. When the State promotes support ‘brown girls rising up and killing white men (Tusiata’s Poem) and you clearly evidentially see the increased political policing of law abiding citizens, the sovereign people of New Zealand we are definitely living under a Authoritarian Regime of Tyranny. When the State targets the very young by sexualizing and politicizing them in schools we are on a slippery slope to living under a communist type regime.  It is our duty for the love dignity caring and respect of our children that we as descent law abiding citizens speak out publicly in an effort to protect your children and future generations to come.  One day they may ask you “what did you do to stop us being slaves to this communist regime”. how will you respond? Will you hang your head in shame, or will you stand proud and respond “I did everything in my power to stop this volatile state abuse of our children”. Surely enough is enough, already the state has gone too far. Time right now to NO, NO MORE_KEEP YOUR GRUBBY EVIL HANDS OF OUR CHILDREN NOW”.

Tusiata received an Order Of Merit by the Govt of NZ  for her book ‘The Savage Coloniser’. Its unbelievable NZ taxpayers now pay for Diversity Police Officers in the NZ Police Force.

NZ Government made a range of new resources to help schools about sex and relationships. Educatgion Minister Jan Tinetti said she wants “schools in Aotearoa to be safe places for all students regardless of gender . Hence pushing ‘gender fluidity’ that does not exist. She referred to lessons on gender diversity and rainbow issues- creating policies to support trans people. These people are children from the start of primary schoool age to end of senior school. Jan Tinetti spoke of ‘rainbow inclusion’

Tabby Besley from rainbow charity InsideOUT, which developed some of the resources, says more young people are coming out in the school environment and need support. chools are looking for not just lessons on gender diversity and rainbow issues but help creating policies and support groups. “We hope schools will pick up those resources, particularly the one around policies and supporting our trans young people, because those are where we get the most requests from schools. A lot of the time they ask if we have policies about how to do that rainbow inclusion or when a trans student comes out in the school, what they should be doing to support them

Schools look out for rainbow policies

Connecting Diverse Communities Report on 2007/08 public engagement A report on 15 meetings held around New Zealand to discuss diversity and social cohesion and responses to a written questionnaire August 2008. The views documented in this report are the views of the people who attended the Connecting Diverse Communities meetings held around the country. They are not the views of the Government, government agencies, Ministry of Social Development, Office of Ethnic Affairs or their staff.

Purpose of the report.. This report summarises the findings of the ‘Connecting Diverse Communities’ public engagement process. This process involved fifteen meetings held throughout New Zealand between August and November 2007, followed by a written survey that was sent to relevant organisations and available publicly. The majority of this report summarises the feedback received at the community meetings, while the responses from the survey can be found at Appendix 4. The meetings were organised by the Ministry of Social Development (MSD) and the Office of Ethnic Affairs (OEA) and were held in Auckland, Hamilton, Tauranga, Napier, Palmerston North, New Plymouth, Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin. More than 500 people attended the meetings in total. The key objectives of the meetings were: • to engage with representatives of diverse communities around New Zealand (including ethnic and religious communities, iwi/hapū/Māori, Pākehā and Pacific Island peoples

Including in the content of this report was the following:-

Responses were subsequently transcribed and sent back to the meeting scribes for further comment and corrections, before being collated, analysed and used as material for this report. On four occasions, ie the Auckland Youth meeting, the Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender or Intersex (GLBTI) meeting and the two Otara meetings

To hold dialogues with different peoples, to continue to communicate in times of celebration and adversity, and to influence others to be comfortable with diversity. We need to have more ‘conversations’ about social cohesion. • The media has an important role in this process. Take advantage of and celebrate diversity.  The Treaty of Waitangi as a foundation for intercultural respect. The role of schools in preparing young children to accept diversity as a ‘norm’ was often raised in the Connecting Diverse Communities meetings

Responses from the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Intersex (GLBTI) meeting…The GBLTI meeting, held in Wellington, was designed to allow participants to respond in a safe environment where their range of views was more likely to be expressed than if they were part of the local meetings. The questions were worded slightly differently and the responses are recorded below

Question 1.1 What do you think would help you create, maintain or strengthen your sense of ethnic, cultural and/or religious identity and community belonging in New Zealand? Question 1.2 What role can government play to support this?

Participants responded to the notion of diversity, identity and community by including sexual orientation and gender identity rather than just focusing on matters of ethnicity, culture or religion. Critical issues for the GLBTI community revolve around increasing their visibility and the levels of tolerance of GLBTI people in all communities. Two clear positions were articulated by participants in answer to the above two questions. They were: • While the local and central governments have a powerful influencing role in protecting GLBTI communities, local community groups have much more capacity to practise behaviours and attitudes that lead to GLBTI safety. Therefore, creating, maintaining or strengthening one’s sense of ethnic, cultural and/or religious identity and community belonging in New Zealand greatly relies on local community groups being in a position to deal with issues of sexual orientation and gender identity first. This requires a sustained and far-reaching education campaign that starts with schools but involves all members of local communities, including parents and local leaders

• Government can play a critical role by increasing GLBTI visibility, rights and safety in the following ways: o Supporting the rights of GLBTI by enforcing their application in new policy development (such as developing ‘anti-hate-speech’ legislation), in current legislation (as expressed in the Human Rights Act) and in processes (such as GLBTI individuals being able to be counted in census data, household and crime and safety surveys). o Establishing a Ministry to deal with GLBTI issues, or at least a Ministerial portfolio for that purpose. o Establishing and funding a non-governmental body such as a Diversity Council to represent all minority groups. Such a body would be able to deal more readily with issues specific to GBLTI, such as assumptions about how different ethnicities respond to the GBLTI communities, their relationship to fundamentalist religious groups, or policy development involving their communities. o Resourcing, enforcing and monitoring programmes that support diversity (including sexual diversity) in schools (for example, through School Charters or by addressing cultural safety issues in curriculum delivery); in the media (for example, through TV and Radio Charters, or programming such as Māori TV’s Takataapui programme); and in the health sector (for example, through the Nursing Council’s cultural competencies – not just during training but also via in-service professional development – or by showing same-sex couples in health promotion TV ads). o Supporting student-led diversity initiatives in schools (e.g. against racism or gender bias). There are GLBTI groups in schools that focus on sexual and gender diversity issues through the ‘School’s Out’ forum. However, these groups need more ethnically diverse input. o Acknowledging that GLBTI people face discriminatory practices from members of mainstream ‘straight’ society, including parents, schools, employers and employees – no matter what ethnicity or socio-economic circumstance they are in. Government has a role in lessening tension by addressing stereotypical attitudes and behaviour, such as refuting the perception that all GBLTI people practise predatory behaviour or want to ‘recruit’ young people in schools, and by encouraging inclusive behaviour. o Establishing role modelling processes in government agencies so that there is an increasing awareness of cultural difference and safety in workplaces and in the health sector. o Supporting the development of more open leadership and providing more counselling information services for GLBTI people in cultural and ethnic communities. o Supporting celebrations like the Gay and Lesbian Fair ‘The Big Gay Out’ and the Hero Parade, that create awareness of GLBTI issues and carve a space for the GLBTI community within the wider community, by funding or underwriting them in the same way that they might support ethnic festival development. o Supporting festivals that celebrate other cultures. Film festivals in particular, encourage the coming together of diverse groups (for example, the GLBTI ‘Out Takes’ film festival).

GLBTI meeting responses Group question 2 was modified slightly to reflect the needs of the Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transexual and Intersex participants. While many of the above summary responses apply to the GLBTI group, the responses below reflect other insights specific to these participants. Specific responses have been put into table form below

Question 2.1 – How well do you think people from diverse ethnic, religious and cultural communities interact with each other, for example in your neighbourhood, in GLBTI spaces, at work or through school? Question 2.2 – What do you think are the barriers to people mixing?

Question 2.2 Barriers include: • The lack of identifiable spaces where it is safe to be GLBTI. • The visibility of GLBTI members is met by fearful and negative attitudes, non-acceptance and ignorance. • Migrants are not aware that New Zealand legally protects minority groups such as members of the GLBTI community. • There is a lack of opportunity to meet and discuss GLBTI issues. • There is a lack of opportunity to work on common tasks. • People don’t know how to discuss GLBTI matters in a frank, open and informative way. When there is an opportunity to do so, people do not recognise common ground as a starting point for interacting. The increasing pace of social change makes it harder to get to know people as people first. • Attacks on GLBTI members by fundamentalist religious groups are a barrier. Some religious leaders want to eliminate GLBTI people altogether. The increasing diversity of the population and resulting increase in fundamentalism is a threat to GLBTI communities. Newcomers need to know New Zealand is first and foremost a secular country where there is freedom to worship. • Marches and protests against GLBTI communities. • The use of derogatory terms and hate speech against GLBTI communities. • That the focus on sexual and gender diversity in schools tends to be Pākehā-dominated and needs to be more inclusive of other ethnic groups

Most of David Reimer’s tragedies have been well-documented: how his penis was burned off during a botched circumcision, how doctors tried surgery and hormones to make him a girl and how the experiment went horribly wrong. But only his friends knew the 38-year-old Winnipegger was agonizing over yet another personal catastrophe in the months before he committed suicide last week.

Mr. Reimer was distraught after losing at least $65,000 in an investment scheme last year, friends say. “He was crying on my shoulder, because he said they’re not worth the paper they’re written on,” one said. The Manitoba Securities Commission issued a warning in November about Gary Perch, who ran the shop where Mr. Reimer worked. “Gary Perch has been soliciting money from the public to invest in his Winnipeg-based pro golf shop,” the statement said. “If you have invested your money with him, your money may be at risk.”

Mr. Reimer’s wife recently hired a lawyer to recover about $65,000 that seems to have gone missing, said author John Colapinto, whose book about Mr. Reimer’s bizarre medical ordeal made him famous. “What an absolute horror,” Mr. Colapinto said. “One has to wonder if this didn’t contribute to his despair.”  Mr. Colapinto had believed that Mr. Reimer was financially comfortable, because he gave him half the proceeds from his book As Nature Made Him: The Boy Who Was Raised A Girl. “David made a wad of money on the book and movie options,” Mr. Colapinto said.

But people who knew Mr. Reimer from his days at the Transcona Golf Club in the eastern suburbs of Winnipeg said the boyish handyman was often short of cash. The club kept him busy washing windows, changing light bulbs and scrubbing the bathrooms, they said, but he often talked about hunting for a weekend job to supplement his income. “He didn’t have money to feed the family,” said Brian Andrews, a member of the golf club’s board of directors. “So what the members did was we put together $800, I think it was, for food.”

Mary Mogg, 64, remembers giving him leftovers after she finished her shift at the clubhouse. “He’d have a pot of soup if we made it, and at the end of the day he’d take it home,” she said. “I think he appreciated it.” The indignity of poverty was just one of many cruelties Mr. Reimer endured. The trouble started eight months after he was born in 1965, when he went for a routine circumcision at a hospital in Winnipeg. The regular surgeon wasn’t available that day, so a general practitioner tried the operation herself. Something went wrong while she was using an electric cauterizing machine, which produced a puff of smoke around Mr. Reimer’s genitals. “I heard a sound,” said a witness quoted in Mr. Colapinto’s book, “just like steak being seared.” The boy’s penis was so badly burned that it dried up and fell off. His family eventually asked for advice from John Money, a well-known sex researcher at Johns Hopkins University hospital in Baltimore, Md.

Dr. Money had theorized that gender depends on how a child grows up rather than genetic coding, and the burned child with a twin brother offered a chance to prove it. The doctor oversaw a series of procedures that cut away the boy’s remaining genitalia and gave him female hormones. His parents started calling him Brenda. But Mr. Reimer never felt comfortable being female, and when he learned about the accident at age 15 he rebelled against the experiment and began acting like a young man. He renamed himself David, after the Bible story, and began more surgery to remove his breasts and create an artificial penis from muscle and cartilage. For years, he quietly tried to live a normal life in Winnipeg. He worked a series of menial jobs and got married to a woman named Jane. His hobbies included fishing, camping, antiques and collecting old coins. “He absolutely loved Elvis,” his eulogy stated. When he went public with his story in the mid-90s, it forced sexologists to re-evaluate their practices, said Ken Zucker, psychologist-in-chief at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto. “His legacy is that his case has encouraged a lot more research,” Dr. Zucker said.

Mr. Reimer committed suicide May 4. His family has not released the cause of death. At his funeral yesterday, his father, Ron, just shook his head when asked whether he wanted to talk. His mother, Janet, leaned forward with tears in her eyes and whispered: “He was a hero. He showed the doctors. He was a worldwide hero.”
