So much in this article: Marcroft refusing to speak to her own bill, Labour with the rather softer "likely to vote against" vs Green and TPM "we'll vote against it", and not a single word from a trans person amongst it all. www.stuff.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

Unfortunately due to lack of interest, we’re cancelling tomorrow’s class. Was it the timing? Was it the veganism? We don’t know!
