A must-read for all parents. But especially relevant to parents of medically fragile, disabled and/or neurodivergent kids. Thoughtful, kind and considered writing but also firey and strong.
Awhi Ngā Mātua is a not-for-profit parent run organisation aimed at supporting parents of children with disabilities and high health needs. With the support and solidarity of our community, we hope members can grow their confidence when advocating for themselves and the children in their care.
Danz is a brilliant and hilarious observer of the human condition. He’s politically one of the best and sharpest satirists in Aotearoa. I feel like crying and laughing at the same time every time I open his newsletters. His newsletter is a must read during this election year. Sign up for paid, he deserves it for his tireless (but probably tiring) mahi.
Simon’s writing on music, movies, books and more always provide a different perspective, a deeper one that considers the role all of the media we consume plays in our lives. Does it uplift? Inspire? Challenge us? He’s a movie buff and music junkie and prolific reader and I’m always interested in his considered views.
One of Aotearoa’s finest newsletters. Bernard has an astounding ability to explain the complex, to detangle spin, and to get to the heart of these really important matters. He’s a must-follow this election year I’d you want to be informed. He writes with great empathy but also hopefulness. I’m immensely grateful for his mahi.
David’s essays are so beautiful, they have so much heart and gentle humour. Sometimes reading them is like a warm hug. Other posts challenge you kindly to look beyond your bubble and actively try to contribute to a kinder world. In an election year, David is an important follow - taking to task those who seek to widen the gap in Aotearoa.
David is an investigative journalist with a heart of gold. He’s kind and full of empathy, funny and gentle. His investigations into the cruel and powerful are an enormous contribution to us all. A subscription to his newsletter is a commitment to doing what we can to hold those who hurt and harm to account.
The news you actually need to know. Funny and sincere, thoughtful and informative. Proof even a newsletter about the news can have empathy. An absolutely crucial follow in an election year. If you get news overwhelm, The Bulletin is the perfect antidote.
