In an extraordinary move, the NZ Parliament Petitions Committee has decided to withhold the videoed oral submission made against the Midwifery Council’s revised Scope of Practice by Māori women’s group Mana Wāhine Kōrero (Sovereign Women Speak) from public viewing.
We are perturbed about this situation. If we got things wrong, we should have been told or stopped at the time, not ignored and silenced. We are always happy to amend things if we get them wrong and say we for them wrong.
I saw some comments on X last night complaining about the T-shirts messaging, maybe that's why. It's flipping censorship.
I never even thought of that, but it's entirely feasible. Can you remember which account on X you saw those comments?
Unfortunately, not.
Is there any video of the mana W K submission available, or will it have to be a request under the OIA?
Good question. MWK may try and request it under OIA, but for the moment there’s no video publicly available.
We are reading it out on RCR for Mondays breakfast show with Paul Brennan
That photo is a classic,the Landy sisters are formidable to say the least! Love to you all😘
