    For the record, the ‘Sweary Bear’ you refer to is Dr Ronald Kramer, a senior lecturer in criminology at the University. Dr Kramer has a PhD in sociology from Yale, has been published in the British Journal of Criminology and elsewhere and is a respected commentator. #expertbear

    Public health expert Professor Papaarangi Reid @Paps_R, says the state of Māori health, especially children’s, is an outcome of deliberate policies to break down Māori people, lands, culture and relationships. Her message? Become anti-racist. bit.ly/3T3IYiY #colonialism
