Dear Chris Hipkins – future leaders understand the past

So congratulations on this progressive step – perhaps you could tell me when New Zealand’s own history will be an everyday part of the curriculum with the necessary resources made available in schools.

Dear Scott Morrison – true leaders must act

I didn’t think I’d be writing to you again so soon but as the sky overhead turned a bloody orange, the sun was obliterated and the birds silenced I felt another letter was necessary.
Governments worldwide have been pussy-footing around environmental issues for decades – and look where we are. Parts of Australia have run out of water and, unless we see rapid and dramatic change, the continent will be faced with an internal migration of climate refugees that has never been seen before.

Letters for change, Notes to leaders

Dear Scott Morrison – true leaders take responsibility

From the sidelines, it appears you urgently need some lessons in leadership and I am writing to suggest actions, that, as a leader, it is best to avoid. First, the matter of your holiday. Don’t leave the the country you lead during a major disaster. It is neither sensible nor appropriate. As a national leader your job is to put your country and the people of your country first.
